User interface code generation based on free-hand input

A method, implemented at a computer system that includes one or more processors, for generating platform-specific user interface (UI) objects based on received free hand input, comprising:

• in response to receiving free hand input, performing at least the following:
• analyzing the received free hand input;
• based on the analysis of the received free hand input, identifying one or more elements associated with the free hand input;
• and
• for each of at least one element of the one or more elements, performing at least the following:
• analyzing the at least one element;
• determining a UI object corresponding to the at least one element;
• determining a platform for which platform-specific UI code is to be generated, based on user input selecting the platform from a plurality of different platforms that the user would like the UI object based on the received free hand input to be converted into;
• generating executable platform-specific UI code associated with the determined UI object based at least in part on the user input selecting the platform;
• rendering the free hand input of that at least one element concurrently with a UI object on a dual-pane interface to compare the free hand input of that at least one element with the UI object;
• rendering the platform-specific UI code in a modifiable format within an application interface
• receiving user input at the application interface for modifying the platform-specific UI code to modify a characteristic of the UI object corresponding to the at least one element;
• and
• modifying the platform-specific UI code.

A computer program product comprising one or more computer-readable hardware storage devices having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that are executable by one or more processors of a computer system to cause the computer system to generate platform-specific user interface (UI) objects based on received free hand input, the computer-executable instructions including instructions that are executable to cause the computer system to perform at least the following:

• in response to receiving free hand input, perform at least the following:
• analyze the received free hand input;
• based on the analysis of the received free hand input, identify one or more elements associated with the free hand input;
• and
• for each of at least one element of the one or more elements, perform at least the following:
• analyze the at least one element;
• determine a UI object corresponding to the at least one element;
• determine a platform for which platform-specific UI code is to be generated, based on user input selecting the platform from a plurality of different platforms that the user would like the UI object based on the received free hand input to be converted into;
• generate executable platform-specific UI code associated with the determined UI object based at least in part on the user input selecting the platform;
• render the free hand input of that at least one element concurrently with a UI object on a dual-pane interface to compare the free hand input of that at least one element with the UI object;
• render the platform-specific UI code in a modifiable format within an application interface;
• receive user input for modifying the platform-specific UI code to modify a characteristic of the UI object corresponding to the at least one element;
• and
• modify the platform-specific UI code.
