   One tool to rule them all

   Although daunting at first glance, Pulno soon became my best friend. There is a lot to grasp but there is no unnecessary information. Everything you see is there to help with detailed descriptions of issues, hand icons with colors showing severity of problems on your website. Additional help hidden in tooltips, and more. This tool is like an army knife - it has everything you need.

   👍 Pros:    Content analyzer|Backlink checker|Integration with gsc|Website structure visualization|Hundreds of parameters checked

   👎 Cons:    Lots of reading|Daunting at first glance

   Incredible potential

   It is a real gem. Pulno checks incredbile amount of parameters and also gives you tips on how to deal with the found issues. There are tooltips with not only explanation but also links to more materials and a list of pages affected by a certain issue. There are different tools featured too like Website Structure Visualization where you can SEE how does your website look like or Backlink Checker or Content Analyzer or a tool that let's you monitor changes on your site. On top of that you can integrate Pulno with GSC granting data in a whole new level.

   Plethora of functions

   This tool is equipped with incredible number of useful functions. Just to name a few: Backlinks Analyzer; Duplicate Content (on-site and off-site!) Analyzer; Integration with GSC. You can check every single parameter of your website: empty headings, title tags, missing keywords, broken images, broken links and more. Moreover, it allows you to monitor the changes on your website so you can react hastily.

• 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
