- Stefan TheofilosProduct Designer, Entrepreneur Ā· WrittenInvision is a fantastic prototyping tool that I'd recommend to anyone.Veronica BelmontPM & Evangelist at Adobe Ā· WrittenOne of my favorite tools, and a huge plus is getting emails from Clark (obviously)!
- Yara NevmerzhitskayaLead seo specialist, marketer Ā· WrittenLike this tool. Easy for using. Allows sharing your ideas with team members or clients to collect feedback right on the prototype! All the edits will be displayed online. Really a lot of ready-made blocks and prototype templates. Draftium is free (with amazing PRO package). The best prototyping tool I've used for web.Denis PlugatarFounder at uScore.me Ā· WrittenIt really helps me to save a lot of time and mental resources at the beginning of the development process. Less pointless discussions I have with a customer, more time for real meaningful work. That's a dream!
- Fredo Tan made this productIn our opinion, a prototype without hi-fi interactions is rather useless. For anyone. Hence, we built ProtoPie, the hi-fi prototyping tool that enables designers to create superior prototypes containing the most sophisticated interactions you could imagine as easy as pie without having to get your hands dirty with code. The gradual learning curve of ProtoPie is due to its intuitive UI which is based on the concept model and philosophy behind the product. This concept model entails that an interaction consists of an object, a trigger and a response, simplifying the whole process of prototyping. Other strong suits: - Fully utilize sensors in your smart devices for your prototypes easily. - Share and deploy your prototypes anywhere and anytime using the ProtoPie Player app or simply any web browser. - Seamless integration with Sketch and Adobe XD CC allowing you to go back and forth between design and prototyping hassle-free. More features (e.g. collaboration) and other cool stuff are on the way at this moment ;) If you have any questions, fire away :)Byungwoo Yoonart director, graphic designer Ā· WrittenI use Protopie and this application is excellent. Easy to use and make a interaction. I can share the project's prototype to our client, and they easily image the interaction. Really helpful
- Oh and take a look at Framer - design and development combined.David Adamudesigner of the future š¦āØ Ā· WrittenAs a Product designer, Framer does it for me.
- Amazing Sketch (and now Photoshop?) Plugin which brings your designs into InVision
- Great for animating your designs - early or later in the processI use Invision and Principle, but it will depend on the platform and how complex your prototype will be. Principle allows you to do custom animation without code. Here is a good list of prototype tools depending on learning curve, platforms and complexity. https://www.cooper.com/prototypi...
- Karthik MahadevanFounder and Designer at Envision Ā· WrittenI used to mostly rely on Sketch, Marvel and Keynote for prototyping, but very recently I tried Figma and found it to be a breeze. I especially loved how easy it was for me to handover to the programmer. It's all online so sharing and collaborating was pretty easy as well.
- Rajat PatelFront End Developer Ā· WrittenSuper simple Prototyping tool. I use it and have no issues with it so far. Must try for all the designers.
- Davide PetrilloLead Product Manager at Goodpatch Ā· WrittenRapid tool to create interactive prototypes starting from your hand sketches, visuals from Sketch (there's a direct integration) and others, or wireframes created with the Prott editor. Ready to then be shared with the team or user tested on web or on the Prott mobile apps. Disclaimer: I'm the Prott PM:)
- Fast and easy animations based on Sketch designs. Frequent updates.
- Brandon ElwoodOwner, AppJester Ā· WrittenFeels like the real thing. Before we build an app, we build it from the ground up using proto.io.
- Yutaka IshiiCEO & Design Chief, STUDIO Ā· WrittenYutaka Ishii made this productSTUDIO has whole new way of designing and prototyping with using real code.
- Kyle W. LudwigCo-founder, Looma š Ā· WrittenWait! There's more. Use Sketch to make the prototypes, then put them into Craft by Invision to make clickable prototypes you can share on the web to get localized comments from collaborators on your design. You can also use Inspect by Invision to hand off the fonts, color palettes, and assets from designers to the developers. I've tried Adobe XD for over a year but for over $20/mo, the features haven't caught up to the value this Sketch stack gets me for a single $100 payment plus freemium Invision subscription - and Adobe still has a long way to go.
- Kunal Bhatiadesign @mercury Ā· WrittenI'm in love with Atomic and the team. They are very forward-thinking and build some great features that will help you communicate your intent with your team. Especially since you are new to UX Design, Atomic has both the tools and a newsletter (Product Design Weekly) to help you get better. You can read my Medium articles about prototyping tools to see Atomic in action compared to a few others.
- Maurice KoksPresident of http://intercigar.com Ā· WrittenI use this almost every day, This is absolutely a must have tool for and not only Mock Up's but real Prototyping and much, much more
- Jenil GogariDesigner. Explorer. Geek. Ā· WrittenI started using Origami recently and it's pretty neat!
