Please implement this feature, Adobe!

As a software engineer and a UX designer, I can assure you that exporting these designs to HTML is a bad idea. Hear me out.

At first, I thought that Muse's ability to do so was amazing! I didn't see a point in having both programs separately, rather it would be best to combine them into one. But as I continued by software engineer studies, it came to make sense. Machines cannot write code in an understandable way for humans. Therefore, it's very difficult to manage in the future when humans get their hands on the code. And overall, writing code to write code is extreeeeeeeemely difficult. You're literally doing code inception. It's a program within a program. Sure, maybe blocks of code would help, but converting the entire project into HTML would just be way too much.

And of course, this code would have no way of implementing database languages such as MySQL, since XD doesn't support databases anyway. Even if they did eventually implement some database support, it would be impossible guess how much space people need for their databases for these prototypes.

not done yet?

Export to HTML and CSS would be amazing. Would make developer handoff so easy! Check out Avocode, they do exactly this for XD in CSS but it’s paid membership, not a free feature.

Check out WebFlow, you can import assets that you create in XD and then webflow gives you code :D

Using the current publish link is convenient but i always run into the troubles of someone from my team cant properly open it, mostly for the management who are not tech savy.
We are even discussing to move to Sketch, which is easier to export to HTML - in general the idea here is making easy for everyone to see the prototype - not just the design but the flow too.
If we cant do this in the near future, im damn sure that we'll move to Sketch.

Now that my MUSE app wont work or reinstall. I definitely need XD to export HTML!!!!!! Please!!!!

I would use XD if it had export to Html!

Why would I need to share prototypes with the rest of the teams! Screw'em, let's make them come from Finland and US to sit behind my back and watch me moving things around on XD, instead of sending them a HTML prototype they can run on their servers.

With love - UI dev and designer

This app is for designing, used in the stage before it goes to the development team.
Please don't priorities this feature request at the expense of other basic features that are available in PS & AI.
BTW any non-dev commentators here, this is quite techo request.
We would need responsive placement/locations before this could be considered.

Definitely need an export to HTML / CSS option. Why bother with proper element organisation and naming conventions if at the end you have to recreate the same thing with code.

This is a very limited useless app. They have killed Muse for no reason and give us this encrypted app depending 100% from adobe severs. Back to Muse.

Why would this product not have export to html and css - seems like a huge waste of time without that.

Exporting to html/css is a must, please make this!

Adobe XD needs to do an upgrade. Exporting to html/css is a must have feature!

Word. if any export to html css available in near future, then it will be better for windows users, as Sketch does

if any export to html css available in near future, then it will be better for windows users. as sketch does that in mac.

wurd

what's the use of having a design app that you can't upload directly to go live on a host server?????

I would wholly reiterate much of this, a basic export to html/css does seem essential (prerequsite?) from a prototyping tool from Adobe. There will be a lot of disheartened front-end designers turning away to the likes of weebly/wix if a solution isn't offered soon.

Even details of XD's roadmap would be a bonus
