- Yulia SemenovaProduct manager, user researcher, Sydney Β· WrittenIt's an easy and powerful tool for prototyping. Love it.
- Gives you all the traditional prototyping and wire framing tools in an amazing package plus React
- Yara NevmerzhitskayaLead seo specialist, marketer Β· WrittenIts simple and fast tool allows making prototypes using ready-made blocks and templates. + allows sharing your ideas with team members or clients to collect feedback right on the prototype! All the edits will be displayed online. Amazing tool. Love it
- Just switched from Sketch to Figma & developers seem to appreciate it. Quick protoyping and CSS info right in browser, so you never need to worry about a dev or another designer not having the most updated design file.Josh McCrayLead Web Designer @ Jockey Β· WrittenFree, in the browser if you want, and does the work of multiple apps in one (ie Sketch, Invision, Zeplin).
- Anthony Thong DoEntrepreneur, Product Manager Β· WrittenSuper light, the best option for individual use.Jesray GarcianoWeb developer Β· EditedSketch is great! but I am mostly using windows, which AdobeXD is a great alternative.raghu thricovilGroup Product Manager @ Adobe XD Β· WrittenI am biased but do give XD a try. A simple yet powerful end to end tool for design, prototyping and feedback. And its free to start using.
- Forrest ScofieldBuilding @wingsflightclub π Β· WrittenMy team started using this recently to create flowcharts for complex software designs. I used to use Google Drawings but switched to Whimsical because it's really simple, well designed and easy to use.Dan EdwardsDesigner @ Snyk - Ex Product Hunt Β· WrittenGreat for wireframing! Highly recommend it, and there's a free plan for you to try :)
- I've been loving Balsamiq because it forces you to use a lo-fi design. Thanks to that you can naturally focus on the workflows rather than spending too much time trying to make things look pretty. I think Figma is a great product too, but it's easy to get sucked into picking colors, fonts and spacing while working on prototypes. My usual workflow is to start in Balsamiq, and then move to Sketch/Figma once we're happy with the user flows.F DumoulinSoftware Developer & Product Manager Β· WrittenI've used Balsamiq on several projects. It's very easy to use and produces nice results.
- Lisa DziubaMaker & PMM. Built & Sold my startup π¦ Β· WrittenLisa Dziuba made this productThis can be useful after the prototyping stage π Flawless App can help any design team be sure that developers will deliver pixel-perfect mobile apps in a moment. Simply pass it to your development team :)
- Suvansh BansalCOO, Flexiple Β· WrittenSuvansh Bansal made this productA fine repository of curated tools. You can check out design collaboration, idea management and visual collaboration categories to get to know about some other tools that other folks haven't yet recommended.
- 3AxureSamesh WijeweeraSpokk - Founder Β· WrittenTried out many other prototypes, but I prefer this over anything else. Great flexibility although it has a bit of a learning curve. Supports mobile as well. You can even use it for finalized designs as well.Serge BeresnevCreative empathic expert in Dev/UX/UI/BA Β· WrittenGreat app. I felt in love with it several years ago during big UX-research for new mobile app. And since then each time I need to bring live example β I'm opening Axure and do interactive prototypes. Many libs, axshare to spread the prototype and many more. Love it, really. But.. Maybe, if sketch will be a bit more full of features β I'll give him a chance. But right now Axure is definitely the best app for complex interactive prototypes filled with data and full of states.
- Suzanne BarkerCo-founder of When I Shop Β· WrittenI use Proto - I picked it up and ran with it pretty quickly. I'm really happy with it. They also do web, not just mobile.
- Armin Nikdelfounder, developer Β· WrittenSimple to use, easily accessible using a browser.
- 1BackendLabChristopher DaviesFull stack Django/Node developer Β· WrittenChristopher Davies made this productFor the backend side of things, I just launched BackendLab, which lets you create/host a Postgres DB with REST API with user auth/permissions in a matter of minutes, without writing a single line of code. It provides a very quick way of creating a backend for your prototype apps
- Jesse PayneProduct Designer Β· WrittenEasily the best prototyping tool for prototyping apps I've ever used, and I've tried almost everything available. It has a bit of a learning curve but it's not much steeper than learning Flinto or Principle.
- 1MockingbirdNatalia DiaconoGrowth Hacking Manager @Prestashop Β· WrittenIts simple and fast as you were drawing it with your hand. I find it useful since I don't like spending too much time drawing wireframes, I prefer seeing the whole picture and how funnels would work out. And that I can visualize with the black and white wireframes and simplicity of the tools.
- Guus Hoevekeydrop.co Β· WrittenHaiku got updated recently and is quite the underestimated and underrecognized tool for now. from the plathora of animation apps that came out, it is the only tool that pivoted towards true developer hand-off to many frameworks and not just React. It's free, fully open-source, and really fast too
- I have been using Moqups for website wireframing for long. It is an online tool which allows for easy access everywhere. The website and design elements are all loaded very fast, which is a key feature I love most. I've compared it with other wireframing tools. Moqups seems to be the most affordable for individuals or small businesses.
