Balsamiq Cloud

Seven years ago, I was working as a Product Manager for a SaaS product. I needed a simple way to sketch out new features and screens. I wanted this for two reasons: first, to test with our customers, and second, to give our team a starting point to iterate from. It was then that I discovered the original Balsamiq. It was a downloadable desktop (Adobe Air?) app, and it changed the way I work. Fast forward to today, and the little company that @peldi founded has just released Balsamiq Cloud. I've been using it for the past month, and it is awesome. It's fast, collaborative, and has some big upgrades from the desktop version (vectors everywhere, bigger canvas). I'm a fan! Congrats to the Balsamiq team for this release! 🙌

Hi all. This was the culmination of two years of work, rewriting both our Flash-based editor in JS and taking all we learned from myBalsamiq to build a brand new, modern web app. Any questions, don’t be shy. 😄 I’ll try to reply to all of them.

Hey while we’re here, I have a question for you! Did you use Balsamiq to wireframe YOUR product? Tell us your story! :)

This is everything I loved about the original Balsamiq product, but with some big upgrades. Vectors everywhere, bigger canvas, and better team collaboration.

Pros:

Really fast and collaborative wireframing, with great export options.

Cons:

Can't think of any!

consequent focused on LowFi at a very high level of a user centric development process. One of my favourite tools since 8 years...

Pros:

fast, easy, focused

Cons:

native Desktop app not yet available (work in progess)

For me, these guys own the wireframe space.

Pros:

Runs gr8 on my Samsung Chromebook. Been using Balsamiq since 2011 or so and it just works!

Cons:

Would have liked to see a "print" icon rather than doing Ctrl-P but otherwise, simply awesome.

I started using Balsamiq in 2008 and it's still my go-to for wireframes. This new cloud version looks great. Nice job @peldi.
