Show HN: Weekend Project - Create Simple Android mockup
- angry-hacker 15y agoIt's my little weekend project to practice javascript/jquery. You can also save the layout if you want to share it for whatever reason :)
- prak 15y agoI think the link to create a new document breaks.
- angry-hacker 15y agoThank you, I fixed the problem :)
- thricedotted 15y agoUh oh, the "new document" button is still directing to localhost for me!
- angry-hacker 15y agoI think you need to refresh the page
- thricedotted 15y agoI did a hard refresh and tried it in two different browsers just now -- are we talking about the same link? I'm referring to the one right above the info button.
- angry-hacker 15y agoYes, I'm talking about the same link. Please try once more, because I'm 100% sure I fixed it :)
- thricedotted 15y agoThere it goes! Must have been some kind of weird caching issue.
- alleri 15y agoNice!
- alexanderberman 15y agoAwesome project!
- deleted 15y ago[deleted]
- angry-hacker 15y agoI haven't created any. If you refer to user "alleri", it's not me.
- d0ne 15y agoYour project is useful. 'alleri' + one word comment + your recent status fit the pattern I've seen lately. I've up voted your post.
- angry-hacker 15y agoI agree, it does fit the pattern (I checked his/her profile), but it's still not me. There's nothing I can do about it...
- d0ne 15y agoNo worries, it happens.

- chriseidhof 15y agoNice! I tried dragging components onto the screen, took me a minute before I realized I had to click them and then drag them around.
- yamilg 15y agoSame here, I was trying to drag all along, I guess that's the natural way we understand apps nowadays. Great app anyways! keep it up, great work! ;)
- a1k0n 15y agoCool. Bug report: the first element appears behind the phone as soon as you move it around (you can still drag it around behind the phone). Subsequent elements work fine. This is on Chrome/OSX.
- 1880 15y agoVery nice! A suggestion: make mockups exportable to images. It shouldn't be hard with something like this: http://www.nihilogic.dk/labs/canvas2image/ http://www.nihilogic.dk/labs/canvas2image/
- yamilg 15y agoFor the time being I suggest using ⌘ + ⇧ + 4
- fourspace 15y agoNice work! I've been hacking on something very similar. What are you using to save the layouts?
- angry-hacker 15y agoThe saving part is actually quite odd :) I get innerHTML (with inline css to position the elements correctly) of the layout where you can insert objects and save it to database.
- svigraham 15y agoThis is awesome. Maybe, you can store the current elements coordinates to prevent overlapping on top of each other when you click multiple elements at the same time. Not a biggie. Love it.
- mikle 15y agoFor a second I thought they are talking about exporting the mockup to an actual Android layout which made me come back and check for that option, only to not find it. They are just talking about serializing the mockup for later reference.
- iworkforthem 15y agoNice! You definitely have your MVP done already. Just a suggestion, it would be nice to allow saving of the completed mockup in pdf or img. The ability of multiple revisions of a mockup would be nice.
- 2mur 15y agoVery cool. This could be really handy!
- bosie 15y agolooks good. one thing though: on my 30" the distance between the phone elements and the bin is extremely far (worse on the rotated 24"). move the bin or let me remove an element by dbl-clicking it.
- angry-hacker 15y agoI imagined something like this could be a problem. Thanks for the idea to delete elements with doubelcick. I implemented it already :)
- tim_iles 15y agoHmm, I find the double-click-to-delete feature unintuitive, and too easy to delete elements accidentally. I was clicking some text to edit it, and ended up deleting it by mistake. Otherwise, great tool!
- num1 15y agoIsn't it easier to just resize your browser window?
- bosie 15y agono. i resize with sizeup (macosx) and the right frame with all the control elements is just a tad too big (in height) than half of my screen. i would have to resize with my mouse which - plain and simple - sucks.
- num1 15y agoI don't know much about either piece of software. But what made you decide to buy sizeup instead of moom? http://manytricks.com/moom/ http://manytricks.com/moom/
- bosie 15y agosizeup works great, i evaluated moom for only a very short period of time (their trial period is too short IMO). i have been using sizeup for a long time now, started using it when moom wasn't all that powerful. i think nowadays i would go with moom and customize everything. on the other hand, sizeup does everything i need except for shrinking/growing a window and is extraordinarily stable. disclaimer: i use Witch => I have nothing against Many Tricks.
- georgieporgie 15y agoVery cool, but I totally don't understand the UI. :-) * I was able to edit some text at some point, but I don't know how I did it, and I don't know how to do it again. Can the text of all elements be edited? * Double clicking an element deletes it?
- daviday 15y agoGreat tool. Two questions. Any way to edit or save in private?
- daviday 15y agoand the second one would be, any way to resize the objects?
