ReacType
ReacType is a React prototyping tool that allows users visualize their application architecture dynamically, employing an interactive drop and drag display with real-time component code preview and a collaboration room that features live video and chat functionality. Generated code can be exported as a React app for developers employing React component architecture alongside the comprehensive type-checking of TypeScript. In other words, you can draw prototypes and export React / TypeScript code!
