@thalion_pb Cheers Thalion, hope to make it even more useful! We have your Sketch plugin in the toolbox, and THE ICONIC will surely have a place! I hope it will get a feature on here too!
Thalion
@graeme_fulton That's great! Thanks, I am a big fan of how you develop Prototypr!

Hi everyone, since starting 'monthly tool roundups' in 2018 on the Prototypr Medium publication, they reached over 50,000 people from just 3 editions. Since they had such a warm welcome, I decided to make the resources chosen easier to filter and browse than the blog post format. This lead to 'Toolbox' by Prototypr.io, where you can: - Filter tools by category (e.g.. Sketch plugins/colour tools/icons) - Fast search using elastic search - Sort by date, etc. As well as the monthly picks, Toolbox includes a revamped Prototyping comparison section, since the old one (prototypr.io/prototyping-tools) has become outdated. No longer do tools fit in certain categories as they used to! Almost every tool has added new features, moving towards becoming end-to-end solutions for your design workflow. Now you can compare them side by side, hope it's useful ☺️ Let me know of any improvements and ideas you have! Happy May the 1st 😃

An extremely helpful resource and such a great product!!! Love the filter capability and how easy you've made discovering new tools without the need to save them for later!!! Great work as always Graeme!

@ninalimpi thanks Katerina! That's interesting, I considered a way to bookmark them too, but sounds like it may not be needed 😂

@graeme_fulton the monthly roundups have been great, and now being able to filter them is much easier! have you considered categories for courses or learning resources too?
Graeme
Maker
@tnsrig glad they've been useful :) it looks like it's possible to scale for any resource/category - will have to see what's in demand from the audience.
Michel
Awesome resource! The ability to filter and compare tools, plugins etc. is so usefull! Is there any way to propose tools for the website?
Graeme

@michelvanheest thanks Michel :D good thought - I have Intercom installed so I can take requests via that. It's the little speech bubble in the bottom right just like here on Product Hunt. Using Intercom Early Stage -> https://www.intercom.com/early-s... really cool of them to make it affordable for the little companies
Michel
@graeme_fulton yes I noticed, but are people actually using the Intercom chat to do feature requests? Myself, I would actually never use Intercom for this. Don't ask me why, it just never came up in me to do so. Anyhow, you can always test this and see if people are using it for that ✌️

@michelvanheest I think I can see why, it does seem like more of an 'ask for help/troubleshooting tool'. The requests I've had come through are for website improvements to make things more accessible - not exactly feature/tool submissions. With that in mind, a more obvious way to submit tools sounds a good idea! I'll test it out for sure.
Aggelos Gesoulis
Amazing! Love that your column lead to a brand new and really useful project! Kudos Graeme!!!
Graeme

@anges244 haha cheers Aggelos!! yeah I also like that part about it – it was basically just a list of tools in a blog post in the beginning!
Rob McMackin
Excited about this finally getting released. The design tool space sorely needed a non-biased resource to make sense of all the different offerings available.
Graeme
Maker
@rob_mcmackin Thanks Rob, and for your feedback when I was putting this together, glad it's useful. I'm enjoying all your work on underglass!!
Sofiia Shvets
Amazing resource! Well done, Graeme!
Graeme
Maker
@sofi_shvets Ah thanks Sofiia for your support. Also, I believe Let's Enhance would be a great 👌addition to the Toolbox! I wish I can find time for a more in depth review, but this is a good start!
Lisa Dziuba
Do you plan to launch similar for development tools?
Graeme
Maker
@lisadziuba I like this idea Lisa - I'd only really considered design and collaboration tools before, but I can see some space for development tools. Especially since code is useful for prototyping too! I'll do a poll or something and see what people think.
