What I really want from a design tool: stateful components

    If you're purely looking at this from a prototyping perspective, then Axure has been doing this with dynamic panels for a long time.

      Yeah that's what i thought, but I don't use Axure a ton so I am by no means an expert.

      I have run into the same issue with InVision needing a bunch of screens to show variations (especially when prototyping navigation) so started looking at Axure. While it is a bit clunky in some areas and I don't think I'd ever design in it, states, variable data, and live inputs sold me on using it for more complex prototyping.

      There is no direct import from Sketch (last I checked) but you can copy SVG from Sketch -> paste in Axure -> convert to Axure object (or something) and you have your design mostly perfectly pasted into Axure.

      Again, by no means an expert on it, but I was pretty impressed with it for more advanced prototyping needs.

        I usually just export everything as a png and import it into Axure. Even some screengrabs when I'm in a pinch.
