Ask DN: If you don't like or don't want to code can you help me understand why?

    I really like what tools like Webflow & Zeplin are doing - bridging the gap between developers and designers.

    I think as the industry progresses this is going to become less of a can and shouldn't question - I think everyone should be able to code to some base/foundation level. However, I do think that designers should spend most of their time on design.

      That's the key there: designers need to spend most of their time doing design of course. Unless designing can be done with code itself it's never going to be useful enough to code designs, it's too much of a bother. And the constant debate it's a bit tiresome.

      There is also hadron.app too, I haven't try it yet though

      I agree that this is the right direction for tools. In fact the more a design tool can behave like a design tool while creating an output that is as close to what the developers need, the better. I think we can still do better, particularly on the web design side of things.
