• Best 'thing' in which to design a self-hosted website?

  I tried https://mobirise.com and the results look great (things like video backgrounds with overlays etc), but you have to pay through the nose to actually use most of it and I only want to play around. Source: 10 months ago

• Where should I look for a website builder ?

  Do you have all the text done that would go on the site? You can create it yourself with simple drag and drop tools and have it up within hours on a self hosted service. A tool I’d recommend is Mobirise (https://mobirise.com/). Source: about 1 year ago

• Website design for a software product - but how?

  I found something called Mobirise which seems to tick all my boxes. It definitely runs offline (it's a Windows executable and I disabled wi-fi to confirm) and exports my site locally as HTML as well as publishing direct to my domain, so that's good. It looks okay so far and hasn't been too hard for me to deal with. I'll stick with this for now, I think. Source: about 1 year ago

• Recommendation for something that may not exist :(

  Maybe Mobirise? (https://mobirise.com). It says free but there are features that are pay only. Source: over 1 year ago

• 20 Web Builders

  Mobirise is a freeware web design application that allows users to design and publish bootstrap websites without coding. Mobirise is essentially a drag and drop website builder, featuring various website themes. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• 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 / 4 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
