What I really want from a design tool: stateful components

I'm making a Sketch plugin called Diya that lets you animate symbols between different states and reuse them across your prototype. You can use this for buttons, switches and other components in your UI. Here's a quick video of how it is done: https://youtu.be/n27NLZCX2Rs

  This is going in a really cool direction. The only problem I have with it is that it's based on artboards, rather than states. This creates unnecessary problems like having to name your layers the same and not being able to have duplicate layer names, etc.
  What about having a list of states that you can trigger within an artboard? Something akin to http://states.design/

    That is a very interesting suggestion and plugin! I'll definitely look into this possibility too. Right now, the idea is to let you animate between artboards when you want the whole artboard to change, and reuse animated symbols across your prototype. But I like your idea and I'll explore this :)
