My cofounder David and I were the Design Tools team at Airbnb, after they acquired our previous design tools startup. We pioneered internal tools and processes that the award-winning Airbnb design team used when designing web and mobile apps.\n\nAt Airbnb’s scale, it made sense to have an in-house design tools team. But we realized that companies of all sizes could benefit from a better design process that’s tailored to their product, so we created a new tool that brings the benefits of an in-house design tools team to every company.\n\n### The Problem\n\nThere’s always a tricky tradeoff between working in _low-fidelity wireframes vs. high-fidelity mockups_ when working on a product idea. Working in low-fidelity allows for quick iteration while hammering out the big picture, but people often have a hard time imagining the final product. Because of this, teams frequently jump to high-fidelity and _stop using wireframes too early_, which slows down progress dramatically as they spend an excessive amount of time perfecting unimportant details.\n\nPersonally, there have been many times where I’ve needed to create a high-fidelity mockup or a React prototype to really explain my idea to another engineer. I spent hours designing and coding just to communicate the idea, only for it to be scrapped when we changed direction right after.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=69609\u0026key=user_uploads/134273/53841334-fad3-49f0-aa77-1e2aa2410055)\n\n### Our solution: Noya\n\nNoya is a new kind of design tool that provides the advantages of _both_ low-fidelity and high-fidelity design.\n\nWith Noya, you build your project with wireframes, while the tool automatically generates a high-fidelity output in real time. It works by mapping low-fidelity blocks into high-fidelity design system and React components. We currently support one open-source design system (Chakra UI), but plan to expand with more choices (MUI, etc), including the option to import your company’s existing design system.\n\nHere’s a quick demo video:\n\n\u003chttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khGAUUFZ5Fs\u003e\n\n### Pricing\n\nOur Professional plan is $8.40/month (that’s 30% off!) if you subscribe before Demo Day, and includes:\n\n* Unlimited projects \u0026 blocks\n* 3,000 AI-generations/month\n* Access to premium templates\n* React code export\n* Premium support\n\nWe also offer an enterprise plan for companies that want to import their existing design system. If you’re looking to improve your company’s design process and you have a React component library, get in touch: [founders@noyasoftware.com](mailto:founders@noyasoftware.com)\n\n### Our ask\n\n1.
