• Uizard: Figma alternative with low learning curve

  I am a software developer, so doing UX is never my strength. From time to time though, I would resort to using the open source tool Pencil (https://pencil.evolus.vn/) to get a low fidelity mock-up. Lately I've been encountering bugs where images would come out broken when I re-open my wireframe in Pencil.

• Quick UI-design tool for mockups?

  Thanks for your replies. I checked some of them out, but I found one on my own that fits me perfectly: Pencil. Source: over 1 year ago

• Best practice to draw/describe UIs in plain text?

  I wouldn't use text to illustrate a GUI. We use Pencil with the crayon-styled stencils to make quick mockups. The crayon styling makes it clear that they're just mockups so people don't poke at the style aspects of the design. We've gotten great feedback from our clients that these are effective illustrations too. Source: almost 2 years ago

• A blog web design with Inkscape, what do you think about it?

  Thank you ! Of the ones I have tested, the only one that really works is Pencil, unfortunately, it lacks a lot of functionalities, and it is still far from being as practical as Figma, adobe xd etc. I think Inkscape is much more practical and powerful, but maybe it's just because I'm used to it :).

• Sequence diagrams in D2

  Great work! Been excited to see some work being done in this domain. Just tagging on to the post to ask what is the best diagram type/tool for high-level abstract domain modelling? I find the UML examples quite unwieldy and esoteric. I like the speed of https://dbdiagram.io/home but it's unnecessarily tailored to databases. Source: over 1 year ago

• A Beginner's Guide to Active Record Associations

  This doesn't seem too complicated in the scope of our simple cookbook but can get very complicated very quickly as the application grows. Thankfully there are tools to help you create diagrams and visualize all of these connections such as: dbdiagram and Figma. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
