It's the quickest way to find out if you understand the requirements of the task. It takes more time to do the details, in that time you could have gotten your first feedback. These are claims, but not explanations about how this is better. The rest of what you are saying are benefits of working incrementally, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with what you made. low-fi wireframing I still don't get this. Isn't it just using a different style of outline around buttons? What is lo-fi about it? Wouldn't lo-fi be something that was much lower memory and much faster to draw, like solid color boxes?

Wouldn't lo-fi be something that was much lower memory and much faster to draw, like solid color boxes? Low-fidelity is jargon. It's a word used in the UX Design community for high level, low detail design artifacts. Perhaps you are thinking of low-fi audio and try to match that to wire-frames. https://www.invisionapp.com/inside-design/low-fi-vs-hi-fi-prototyping/ https://www.invisionapp.com/inside-design/low-fi-vs-hi-fi-pr... https://balsamiq.com/wireframes/ https://balsamiq.com/wireframes/ "Balsamiq Wireframes is a rapid low-fidelity UI wireframing tool that reproduces the experience of sketching on a notepad or whiteboard, but using a computer.

The thing I made allows you to do this on your mobile phone, so anywhere, anytime. That's the unique part. As far as I know, there are also no great tools to do a little bit of front-end development on your phone either. So perhaps a cool niche for someone to jump into.

Btw, this type of clearing up confusement is one of the most important (and hard) parts about UX Design. The wireframing is quite easy if you finally really understand all the requirements and stakeholder goals you need to balance. So in the future the app will include features to facilitate this process too.
