• Tell HN: My Favorite Tools

  A few apps that are a joy to use: https://ia.net/writer for writing. https://usecontrast.com/ for checking contrast. https://sipapp.io/ for picking colors. https://nova.app/ for editing code. https://cleanshot.com/ for screenshots. https://getpixelsnap.com/ for measuring elements on screen. https://netnewswire.com/ for reading things via RSS. https://panic.com/transmit/ for file transfers. https://usefathom.com/... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Ask HN: Best UI design courses for hackers?

  I think the best practical approach for designing UIs is to download (and buy) Balsamic[0] and use that to design UIs. Cut through the nonsense of colours and pixels in the first instance and just lay things out logically and simply. [0] https://balsamiq.com. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Build Products that don’t SUCK

  Create a low-fidelity mockup or wireframe of your MVP using tools like Balsamiq, Sketch, or Figma. Or use an easier-to-use tool like Uizard, which also has text-to-design capabilities. Source: 9 months ago

• Starting Design Work in a Spreadsheet

  Just for drawing mock app screens, I have found Balsamiq[0] to be pretty good (you can do a bunch of stuff with the trial version itself). Not affiliated with them in any way. [0]: https://balsamiq.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Is there software for building out copywriting for a website?

  Balsamiq has been pretty good for me so far. It's super bare-bones so it's better for copy mockups than actual UX design. It's also a lot easier than Figma. Note that you don't have to use the default comic sans, but I do because it's funny. Source: over 1 year ago

• Website "Builders" for People with Development Skills?

  Check Pinegrow. It's perfect builder for someone who know how to code. You will need to get used to it, but once you are familiar with it, its super great :) Https://pinegrow.com/. Source: 11 months ago

• How do you build something like this and how long would it take? I have experience with HTML, CSS, and JS. Should I learn a particular JS framework? Or would I be able to achieve this with Figma and Webflow? Would appreciate some links to useful resources as well.

  Figma is a design/prototyping tool. So probably yes, but it's not directly resolving your end result. Webflow is SaaS, specifically a visual builder for websites. The two are not really comparable in which to choose. A better comparison would be Figma or XD. And for Webflow, something like Pinegrow, or CofeeCup's Responsive Site Designer. Would be better comparisons. Source: 11 months ago

• Webflow seriously needs a desktop app...

  5+ year web flow dev here! i’ve been heavily contemplating a move to pinegrow or the “open source webflow” webstudio. Source: 11 months ago

• Dreamweaver Alternative

  I also don't have much experience with DW but something that I have seen do similar stuff is pinegrow which is quite cheaper. It has free trial so maybe you could see if it will fit your needs. Source: over 1 year ago

• I am just flabbergasted and in complete stupor (point me to an MS FrontPage alternative)

  Pinegrow is pretty awesome and free and something I'm increasingly working with. Source: over 1 year ago
