App-development and digital experience technology company, Progress announced a preview of Progress Unite UX. The solution integrates with existing design tools to automatically translate design into pixel-perfect front-end code.
Progress Unite UX combines plug-ins and libraries to popular design tools, creating guidelines for designers to work within. Design files are exported to a “MetaBridge” file structure that is then opened in Unite UX Studio, which translates the MetaBridge to either Angular or React front-end code. The full list of features can be viewed here.
The solution intends to solve the challenge that is presented by the fact that UX designers and developers use different tools which results in many iterations between the groups and disparities.

OASIS introduces Open Projects program
The global nonprofit consortium OASIS announced the launch of Open Projects, which allows developers to work on whatever they choose under open-source licenses and a path to recognition.
OASIS is launching the first two Open Projects – Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) and OpenDocument Format (ODF) Advocacy.
The OSLC Open Project advances a suite of standard REST APIs to connect data and achieve the digital thread across domains, applications and organizations. The ODF (Open Document Format) Advocacy Open Project promotes a document standard that ensures permanent access to data and eliminates the risk of vendor lock-in.
The program was created in response to the developer community’s calls for more flexibility and options for collaboration on open source projects.
