I don't particularly need Zeplin as such, even though we do use it at work. But something that…
Allow others to view designs without having to install software Allow others to comment on designs Download designs, and download exports. … is a necessary part of a design process. If you're a distributed company, even more so.
Copying CSS is nice to have, but far, far from the importance of the above. The generated CSS doesn't tend to be that good anyway.
With Serif commitment to Affinity products being non-subscription, this could potentially make business sense as a subscription based supplement, if developed by you.
Zeplin integration provided by Serif doesn't make sense to me. In this case, exposing an API and making the integration a task of the third party makes more sense.
Edit: This is basically what's keeping me from dropping Sketch. Dropping Sketch would be a great relief to me. The way Sketch does components might be a little bit more intuitive perhaps (although it's not that great either to be honest), but other than that, AD is definitely better in every respect.

I came here to ask precisely this question as I noticed it was rasterising the layer. I'm not sure whether the most common use case would be to rasterise or not, but for me it seems logical that you would want to use non-destructive methods on embedded documents. Could the assistant switch to live filtering if you try to do a destructive transformation on an embedded document, with the option to switch back if you were actually going for destruction?
 
I mean, I can always rasterise manually before transforming, if that's what I'm going for.

Zeplin plugin support would be awesome, or Affinitys own exporting specs system. I really like the new UI/UX features hopefully theres spec support coming soon!

If Affinity Designer would have it's own Viewer App or Service for measuring sizes and distances and copying CSS properties, we wouldn't have to rely on PSD exports anymore. My workflow is like: Designer (Illustrator until I switched) >> PSD Export >> Avocode / Zeplin. 
 
It would be so much better if it was Affinity Designer >> Affinity Viewer.
 
Done.
 
:D

Hi Henrik,
In the latest Designer Beta - 1.4.2 beta 5 (RC1) already submitted to the Mac App Store -, the guides move with the artboards.

To me, the core of design is purpose. As such, it's hard to evaluate without knowing what you want to achieve with them. Whether we subjectively like them might be a good question to ask, but a better question to ask is whether they evoke the response in your audience that you want to evoke.
 
I think the new icons are probably more unique in the landscape of design app icons, so they will probably do a better job of standing out against the crowd, if that is what you wanted to achieve.

Hello Henrik,
Welcome to Affinity Forums.
No, currently it's not possible to snap to an intersection. This is coming soon, along with other improvements to the snapping system.
