• Pipe Dreams: The life and times of Yahoo Pipes

  Another amazing node-based app that was deprecated is Quartz Composer on Mac. It was extended by Mike Matas when he was at Facebook: https://medium.com/the-year-of-the-looking-glass/introducing-origami-for-quartz-composer-f1173d0bd181 although this was also later deprecated in favor of Origami Studio, which retains the node-based UI: https://origami.design/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• A concept to get a better understanding of the Mac lineup.

  It’s a prototype built in https://origami.design/ and screen recorded with https://www.screen.studio/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Does this exist?

  Not entirely sure about this since I used this years back, but origami.design has good prototyping features. It does a lot more than just click to see the next page. You can add complex animations and interavtivity. Has a slight learning curve tho - https://origami.design/. Source: over 1 year ago

  Not OP, but the first thing that comes to mind is https://origami.design/. - Source: Hacker News / 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: 8 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
