Well guys it all looks very nice. I'm just afraid you misjudge the situation. If I'm already working with electronic device why should I draw anything, not just drag&drop UI elements? It seems to be waste of my time. Merits of paper are huge and can't be overvalued. - Paper has no limits, because it has extremely simple user interface. No predefined style, rules and guidelines. No predefined interaction. - Paper is vastly collaborative - easy to share, easy to pin on the wall and discuss with team mates. - Paper doesn't bond you. You can always easily throw away what you have designed in 5 minutes. You don't need to focus on details! - Paper teaches designers that what they have in mind matters, not tools Your tool doesn't address those advantages of paper properly. Adobe created similar app and doesn't achieve much. Besides, problem with conversion from paper into digital wireframes is already resolved. UXPin notepads and UXPin App are quite popular in the UX world. Check out the video: http://youtu.be/-7VitOBVfCE http://youtu.be/-7VitOBVfCE You can start your design process on paper by sticking UI elements on paper to the notepad, take a picture of it, send it to the app and it will be auto-converted. So while your website looks nice and the video is great, your conception seems to miss the point. Sorry about that. I wish you all the best.

We've learned about the benefits of UXPin from our customer interviews. However, we've also learned a lot about the disadvantages of UXPin and paper in general. We agree with you that paper has a lot of advantages. That's why pentotype aims to keep all the benefits of paper. At the same time we'll enrich the paper experience with the interactivity of software. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We'll take them into account to make pentotype even better. ;)

  All right!:) Cheers for your reply. I don't believe UX designers will leave paper. We are not using paper now because we have bad software, we are actually using paper because we sometimes want to keep ourselves away of computers (tablets counts as well). 90% of UX designers use paper (according to research by Todd Zaki Warfel). Adobe learnt that recently. They did app very similar to yours and didn't succeed much. Personally don't know single UX designer using it. And they put a lot of money into marketing. http://www.adobe.com/products/proto.html http://www.adobe.com/products/proto.html It looks shiny and cool, but it's useless in UX design process.
