Excited to give this a proper go. Looks incredibly powerful. Principle really got me hooked because of it's learning curve and the fact it did 1 type of prototype extremely well. For me, my thinking has always been along the lines of 'if you cant recreate the whole prototype from scratch in an hour, you're probably building out too much'... because the nature of the iterative process, i don't like to spend huge amounts of time building a prototype when the designs should be changing day to day.
Definitely could do with some tutorials and basic lessons to get started, especially as I only have 14 days to decide.
Couple of small bits:
- It's running pretty laggy on my 2017 MBP
- Vertical/Horiz align are probably my most used tools, had to root around to find them in the toolbar
- I kiiiind of understand why, but having the default anchor point top-left just reminds me of the hours i used to spend in AE moving them to centre (this also makes vert/horiz align pretty frustrating!)
- Havent figured out how to add the iphone frame to a blank doc if i dont start from template
- Pushing people to open the examples templates on first launch would be useful (I mean the example projects, rather than just the phone frames)
- Touchbar timeline is neat, but a bit odd that it only relates to the portion on screen, meaning i cant scrub through from start to finish... maybe this would get too sensitive, but 4:10 is quite a long default timeline anyhow..?
Overall, looks like it could be huge! Definitely just need to start with some basic tutorials if you're to convert the masses from their scattered tools of choice. Bit gutted that by the time some of these lessons come out my trial might be over and i'd not be ready to commit $99
