Yesterdays lecture I saw the video demonstration for Balsamiq Mockups and was really impressed. So I tried to find any good wireframe tool for my assignment. Two criteria: Linux and FREE.
After some search was really upset because lots of web sites tries to promote Napkin feel&look but instead this program only gives the look of the mockups to the programs and windows. So for me it’s useless.
However, I found Mockingbird. It’s a web based tool for your mockups. Easy to use, free, with the ability to share with others simply by providing the link, saves as a PDF or PNG. I like the sticky edges, makes easier to create design. Must have tool!
Couple of issues for me are: not configurable interface and I found not that comfortable so scroll through all widgets (thanks for search and categories, without them it will be useless), inability to upload a picture and use it say for background.
The rest is fine! Check it!
