• 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. Frustrated of the issue on Pencil, I tried out uizard yesterday, and have been really happy with it. It's... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• 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 :).

Make it your mission to make just one pound (or one dollar) from an idea on the web (it can be an app, a newsletter, whatever). Keep it tiny, focus on a micro-problem and be realistic with yourself (don't set out to make the next Netflix right from the get-go). Working on my side project isoflow.io has been super rewarding.

• How do I create this type of chart?

  u/MedUsaXIII thanks for mentioning isoflow.io. I built it as a side project, and basically as a way to convey information in a more understandable way for non-techies (e.g. stakeholders, bosses etc). Check out the flows feature as well, you can build annotated walkthroughs with that if it's helpful. Source: over 2 years ago

• How do I create this type of chart?

  Isoflow (https://isoflow.io/) is the latest iteration that can be used without AWS. I do miss Cloudcraft before they got acquired by AWS. They have this amazing 2D/3D feature that isoflow does niet (yet) have. Source: over 2 years ago
