Express Design
Announced at Microsoft Build 2022 Express Design can speed up app development and POC creation. It translates notes, pictures or just a handwritten piece of paper to a fully fledged app, and then allows you to modify it further to better suit your needs.
How does Express Design work?
Express Design accepts a broad range of inputs. It can work with PDFs, sketches on the whiteboard, a screenshot of a UI from a legacy app, or Figma - tool for professional asset design. The one I loved the most, though, is the paper form. All you need to do, is sketch your idea for an app on a piece of paper, and then take a picture of your design. Express Design reads the information from the picture and turns it into an app.

Updating your legacy apps
Express Design can also help you update old legacy apps. Take a screenshot from an old app and Express Design will create a suggestion for a new, updated, modern version.
