Turns UI designs into deployable code

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built Pagedraw to let engineers and designers turn UI designs directly into production-ready code without handoff delays. It reads drawings and outputs clean React code you can deploy or integrate immediately. This cuts the gap between design and development by removing manual coding of UIs.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in San Francisco, CA. After YC, the company will remain based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where both founders live and where our target users - engineers and product teams - are concentrated. Being local lets us engage with early customers and iterate quickly.
