• 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 use MS Visio at work and Pencil (free) at home. 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 :).

• Any recommended fairly easy to learn design/architectural software to play around with different designs for my house (mostly exterior/facade?)

  However planner5d also looks slick. Source: 6 months ago

• Am I nuts for wanting to change this carpet?

  Don't rush. Redesign your space in 3d and see how it goes from there. I like your current rug. Source: 6 months ago

• Interior design softwares and AI

  I came across https://planner5d.com/. It's pretty neat but doesn't have options that I really need. Source: 12 months ago

• First time living alone, the space feels… depressing

  Dude, go to https://planner5d.com/ and just design your space. This shit saved me so much time and money. Source: about 1 year ago

• Any free / cheap softwares that I can use to draw up my new build? Am a visual person so need to see the space for planning purposes.

  I do not recommend https://planner5d.com, they used to be amazing but have since massively crippled the free tier, to the point where it's unusable. Source: about 1 year ago
