• 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.

  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 :).

  I'm surprised at the lack of comparisons to the Jamboard (https://workspace.google.com/products/jamboard/). Even the promotional images look similar. Also, while not explicitly targeting collaboration, v3 of the Remarkable firmware has added an endless canvas feature which has been nice. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Apple launches Freeform: a powerful new app designed for creative collaboration

  It is worth noting that Both Google [1] (since 2016) and Microsoft [2] (since 2018 ?) have their own collaborative whiteboard app. Yet Miro is almost the only one everyone is talking about. Maybe because it is by far the unique unicorn in the space (17B valuation/2012). Or is it the other way around ? I like the expression "never underestimate the power of the default app" (already used in this thread). Well this... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Looking for an App that allows you to take notes in a visual fashion akin to sticky notes on a cork board with yarn tacked between them for connected topics.

  It's not an app but this is close to what you want I think? https://workspace.google.com/products/jamboard/. Source: about 2 years ago
