To help clarify why this is a big deal, I'd like to share why I've been so excited about this project...
[tl;dr] - This is the first tool I'm aware of that actually allows you to generate both API docs and design tools from the same source.
Static documentation is a lie waiting to happen. Once docs are even slightly out of date, people lose trust and eventually abandon them.
On the engineering side of the dev/design process, this is easy to work around. We generate documentation from code and structured comments, which allows us to trust our docs as an up-to-date point of truth.
If you're building a design system that both engineers and designers will work with, there's no real solution to keeping sketch symbols and React components in sync. You're essentially stuck maintaining "static documentation" for designers in the form of a sketch file.
More often than not, things get busy, or someone forgets to commit a change to the sketch file, and the sketch symbols fall behind the code used in production.
Developers start to receive mocks that don't match the "standard" components they're using. Designers start to wonder why fidelity is lost by the time features make it to production. The design system falls apart.
`sketch-reactapp` will help us deal with the static documentation problem the same way we deal with it on the engineering side of things: generate from source.

In the last 10 years, the federal minimum wage has not risen, effectively reducing the minimum wage by about $1 due to inflation.
The richest 500 people in the world grew their wealth by $1.2 trillion in 2019, a 25% increase over a period of one year.
The minority build their wealth on the labor and taxes of the majority, but sure, adjusting the tax code is "stealing".
