In plain words

Zeplin 1.0 is a collaboration platform for UI designers and frontend developers that centralizes design files and project information in the cloud.

Document designs, map user flows, track version changes — deliver with confidence without changing how you design.

Design tools are creative spaces—freeform, fast-moving, always evolving. That’s what makes them great. But it’s not where devs belong . They don’t want to click around a live file hoping they’re looking at the final version. They don’t want to dig through frames to figure out how the pieces connect, understand what every element is supposed to do. We’ve seen this mess play out over and over again—at startups, agencies, Fortune 500 teams. Design tools just let it happen. Devs want clarity. Devs want structure. Devs want confidence. Because design delivery is a phase of its own. And it deserves its own space—outside the canvas. Once designs are ready for dev, select and publish frames from…from zeplin.io

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
