• Rough.js: Create graphics with a hand-drawn, sketchy, appearance

  Me of https://balsamiq.com/wireframes/ - guy used to do a lot of startup blogs about it. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Best package for doing UI/UX

  If you want to lay it out, use something like Balsamiq first. Just wireframe it. You’ll be surprised how much better your last version is than your first version. Once you’re done, you can try to make a nice version in Figma. And then do the hard part and do the actual programming. Source: about 1 year ago

• Show HN: TinyUX – Grid based low-fi wireframing on your mobile phone

  > I still don't get this. Isn't it just using a different style of outline around buttons? What is lo-fi about it? Wouldn't lo-fi be something that was much lower memory and much faster to draw, like solid color boxes? Low-fidelity is jargon.

• Best way to make mock ups for beginners

  Sounds like Photoshop is the wrong tool. For the wireframe stage, I'd go for something simple like Balsamiq. Otherwise, Adobe offers AdobeXD specifically for such mockups. I have quite a few friends who specialize in UX, and almost all of them live by Figma. Good luck! Source: about 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Freelance website builders/maintainers, what's in your 2024 toolkit?

  My most recent project launched in January. NextJS 14 client integrated with PayloadCMS (http://payloadcms.com) for the back-end. I love both technologies in theory, but they're both going through a renaissance period and "bleeding edge" doesn't even begin to describe it. If I'm just building a client app, create-react-app is still my go to. Before now, I'd been building on... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago
