      I appreciate your feedback! Thank you for sharing moqups. I haven't seen this tool before.

      There are a lot of tools that do similar things. I think of the categories as:

      *Design creation*
      • Figma https://www.figma.com/
      • Sketch https://www.sketch.com/
      • uizard https://uizard.io/
      • Penpot https://penpot.app/
      • UXPin https://www.uxpin.com/

      *Asset creation*
      • Canva https://www.canva.com/
      • Crello https://crello.com/
      • Creatopy https://www.creatopy.com/
      • Spark https://spark.adobe.com/

      *Presentation creation*
      • Pitch https://pitch.com/
      • Ludus https://ludus.one/

      *Digital Whiteboard*
      • Miro https://miro.com/
      • Whimsical https://whimsical.com/
      • Mural https://www.mural.co/

      *Prototyping*
      • Invision https://www.invisionapp.com/
      • Marvel https://marvelapp.com/

      *Feedback*
      • Markup https://www.markup.io/
      • Pastel https://usepastel.com/
      • Contrast https://www.contrast.app/

      *Animation*
      • Jitter https://jitter.video/

      And that just scratches the surface.

      I've noticed that the apps listed above are often too prescriptive or too complicated. My goal is to create a simple tool that lets you quickly provide feedback and iterations on websites and web apps. I think of NextUX as similar to Loom but for design mockups.

      In my workflow, I typically include a NextUX link along with an exported image in my product management software (Trello). I describe the changes I made contextually with comments in the design. Often, the design looks hacked together and incomplete but it's just enough…

      You're absolutely right, we're working on an additional info about technical side of this feature (as a response to comments).

      Showing the app before signing up is something that we're constantly thinking about. Probably it's about the time to make it comes true. My apologizes for the inconvenience.

      Moqups.com is great, but it's really focused on a different problem.

      UXPin - The UX Design App (http://uxpin.com) helps teams fighting for the best UX Design possible of their web&mobile apps, during whole design process.

      You can create wireframes, interactive prototypes, upload requirements, personas, visual design - and discuss each deliverable in one place.

      ps. We were launched way before Moqups :)

      Yeah, the product isn't great. To the point about UX blogs though, theirs is pretty solid https://www.uxpin.com/studio/blog/. It isn't bogged down by social sharing widgets, scroll jacking, or pop ups (last I checked)

    • Marsie9Oct 2024

      Design to code has its limitations. It's as if you try to swap images for code. Try this: https://www.uxpin.com/merge
