Wireframing via sketching on tablets

This tool looks really great. I'm going to try it out to see if the actual experience of drawing wireframes is as easy as it looks in the sample videos. I usually do wireframes for websites I build on paper, which doesn't expose the dead ends or awkward UI decisions I made like a live wireframe would.

  Thanks, please let me know about your experience: wkornewald@pentotype.com Note that currently pentotype only supports mobile wireframes, but we're working on website/desktop/etc. support.

I love that it's a live wireframe. Really looking forward to trying this!

Dear OP: how many more times will you create pseudo URLs (?hn=x) to bypass duplicity checking and spam HN? I guess you didn't learn from the first time [1]. I like PenToType, but really disgusted by your spam tactics. I know it's hard to get traffic for your startup, but spamming HN is not a solution.

  We posted an Ask HN [1] asking for suggestions what else we could do and one comment by someone with very high karma suggested that we post again, so we tried. We didn't ask anyone to upvote. We simply wanted to give this a fair chance (unlike last time). [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5977771 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5977771

    Disregard the nay-sayers. They're just the typical whiner. You have been told it's greenlight to post again, don't sweat it.

  Not only that but six dead spam comments from five user accounts created that day.

    As mentioned on that post, we didn't create those comments and new accounts and we didn't ask anyone to do so. All we did was ask for upvotes (which was a bad idea and the reason for us posting a second time to give it a fair chance without us influencing anything). We're really sorry for the first post and for how things went and we hope that the HN community forgives such a stupid mistake which won't ever be repeated again.
