~2008 a friend at a consulting co. showed me how they drafted UIs in Excel. Having seen that, in 2015 I began working on a UI drafting software for that kind of technical designers. We ended up getting rid of the layout thinking overhead while drafting. They call it Content-First Design. If you'd like to try it it's free: https://uxtly.com https://uxtly.com

Hi, I am interested in this tool but I could not even grasp how does it trying to solve the problem as the video is buffering each second. I watch youtube too so it is not my connection I assume

  If you don't mind, could you help me debug this issue by testing the direct link to the video: https://uxtly.com/media/intro-PFXcRizx7hGieOVj96nDdBRNEDo.mp4 https://uxtly.com/media/intro-PFXcRizx7hGieOVj96nDdBRNEDo.mp...

    The video resolution is quite high 2048x1152. I would suggest getting it down to something lower like 720p. It's not a huge file, but I got an oldish laptop (8th gen intel with iGPU) and it was choking on the rendering too, even if my network connection is quite good.

OP here. This is really cool! For my use cases it is missing the ability to easily expand/contract the working grid area, which is done with spreadsheets by adding/removing columns. So perhaps it is slightly too high fidelity for me? Definitely something I'll try out next time to find out!

  Thank you for checking it out. In the past it had an auto-layout and app mode, but I removed all the graphic and layout design features in favor of "Copy for AI". Your "Driving Game" mockup got me thinking about indicating proportions on the drafts. I don't have a good answer to that, except that Cards can be resized in width. At any rate, to answer "perhaps it is slightly too high fidelity", I would say it's the opposite, too low since there's no layout design involved. I'm aware it‘s confusing because Cards look like a mobile layout. I tried doing the pencil sketch style but it also gave the impression of a layout design tool.
