Ask HN: Collaborative UI/UX Designing Site. Do you see any demand for it?
I don't know if anything similar exist but I think I would like to use it if any such web application exist.
In short it should be a mini web based inkscape/illustrator to quickly design prototypes, UI/UX designs. It should have following features -
1. We can use the HTML5 Canvas for this.
2. We can provide a toolbar of graphics objects such as rectangle, circle etc.
3. Library of UI Controls such as label, input, button, menu etc.
4. Save/Download designs in png/vector formats,
5. Designers can invite others to collaborate on a design project.
6. Designs can be public/private and may have commercial/opensource license.
7. Search/Browse public designs.
8. Rate and Review Designs.
9. Sell/Buy Designs.
10. Portfolio/Profile of Individual Developers/Design Houses.
What do you think. Is there demand for such web application?
- personalcompute 16y agoA realtime collaborative wire-framer with e-commerce functionality? Personally, I don't think the marketplace or 'rating' designs, or posting them publicly at all is a good idea. Wireframes would probally be seen as too basic of a commodity, and with of the large amount of design work to go from a wireframe to a full design mockup there would be no reason to actually buy any wireframe-stage mockup. A buyer could take the wireframe and fully build it up legally without needing to buy anything after they see a preview thumbnail. The buyers would almost certainly want to make minor changes themselves in the proccess, too. I like the idea of a collaborative wireframing tool though, I would certainly have a use for this myself. I know of realtime collaborative 'whiteboards', and single-user online wireframing tools, but nothing that combines the two.
