Announcements

Attention Developers and Designers! SquareLine Vision has arrived, and it’s not just another update!

Hey there, code wizards, UI magicians, and pixel perfectionists! We know you’ve been waiting for something truly big from us. Well, the wait is over! We’re thrilled to announce that the new version of SquareLine, SquareLine Vision, has reached BETA status. :tada:

Why Did It Take So Long?

Remember this past February, when LVGL and SquareLine parted ways? Well, that wasn’t just a simple “let’s go our separate ways” moment. We thoroughly rethought and redesigned the entire system to make both developers’ and designers’ dreams come true. This isn’t just an update - it’s a completely new software with a new name and a new brand.

What’s New?

  • New Name, New Product: We’re saying goodbye to SquareLine Studio v2 and welcoming SquareLine Vision!

  • Innovative Features: Revolutionize your workflow with infinite canvas, build-free testing, style manager, animation timeline, and more. Later, we’ll introduce online collaboration, advanced components, AI-powered features enhancing both design and code processes, and much more. This is just the beginning of our innovation journey!

  • Bug-Free Operation: Yes, we know that’s a bold claim. But we’re taking it so seriously that we’re soon launching our Bounty program. Bug hunters and UX fine-tuners, get ready!

  • Beyond LVGL: Not just embedded systems - mobile, desktop, and web are on the horizon! Designers, prepare for universal design!

What’s the Ultimate Goal?

Imagine a world where a designer’s dream is realized exactly as envisioned, and the developer implements it with ease. No more “this can’t be done” or “it’s simpler to do it this way” (sorry, both sides :wink:). Long-term? We want to generate the entire frontend code based on the design - whether it’s for an embedded system, mobile app, desktop application, or website.

Let’s save tons of time together, reduce misunderstandings, and create the perfect user experience!

How Can You Join?

Head over to vision.squareline.io and sign up for the closed BETA program! Developers and designers, we’re testing together!

Limited Time Offer:

To celebrate this milestone, for a limited time, get 40% off select SquareLine Studio licenses, which can be applied at equal value toward SquareLine Vision upon its release! This offer is good from the 24th September to 24th October.

FAQ (because we know you’re already formulating questions)

Q: What will happen to my old SquareLine Studio projects?
A: Don’t worry! We’re creating a magical converter that will make them Vision-compatible. Plus, Vision will be able to export the Studio file structure. Seamless transition for developers and designers? Check!

Q: Are you ditching SquareLine Studio?
A: Not at all! We’ll continue to support it with bug fixes, new features, and LVGL updates. We won’t abandon our loyal users, whether you’re a developer or a designer!

Q: If I already have a Studio license, will it be valid for Vision?
A: Absolutely! The value of Studio licenses will be valid for Vision. We appreciate your loyalty, whether you code or design!

Are you ready to step into the world of SquareLine Vision? Come on, let’s shape the future of UI development and design together!

I see this value term used in a few places for Vision licenses. What exactly does value mean?

Does this mean our current license will work in Vision, or does this mean the monetary value of our license will be applied towards the purchase of a Vision license?

What is the target release date for Vision?

Hi Jeremiah,
Vision will have a different pricing and licensing structure compared to Studio, as it will include more available services. Therefore, users will be able to apply the value of their Studio license towards their chosen Vision license.
As for the release date will change based on feedback received during the beta versions. We will be able to provide an exact date after the open beta is launched. The open beta will be available within this year.

When the whole thing is online … how do we test it with our hardware?

For example, making a slider to dim the display. I need to write a function that controls my ESP32.

Do we need to make the design, then download it, and then flash it?

Hi,

If you use the fully online version, you can download the generated code, and if you use the desktop version, the code export will work in the same way as in the case of SLS.

Will this fix the animation crashes?

Our timing for Vision is depending on a lot of factors, but our plan is to have closed BETA available in November and open BETA in December. As you signed up, you will receive automatically updates on the BETA as soon as available.
