In plain words

Zeplin 2.0 is a collaborative platform designed for product teams to organize and share design work. It allows teams to store designs, automatically generate specifications, and extract assets and code snippets customized for iOS, Android, and Web platforms.

From the sources

Zeplin is a connected space for product teams where they can share designs, generate specs, assets and code snippets, tailored for iOS, Android and Web.

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. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
