#162If you want to do this kind of thing on your phone, you can try my TinyUx: https://www.tinyux.app/ It has a non-standard UX itself, because of the small screen.
Kudos for the wonderful onboarding tutorial. I appreciate that it was a 100% demonstrative process.

Balsamiq is a per month subscrtiption isn't it? Personally, I need a tool like this once per year or sometimes even less. So if Konty was a one off payment of $20-30 I'd be more inclined to purchase.
Balsamiq offers a desktop version with a one-time license fee at $149 per user https://balsamiq.com/wireframes/desktop/
Sadly only MacOS/Windows.

#166Dig it. I use Balsamiq all the time. Some challenges when using Wine, so I have to open a cringey Klaus Schwab windows machine. Would be great if this app showed Linux some love.

You will not own your digital life and be happy.

#167This is really great. I just used it to do some whiteboarding on a zoom call and it was event a lot more user friendly than miro.

#168Am I the only one having issues (Win 11)?
- Drag/dropping from the Shapes panel does not work every time
- I can not delete an object on the page
- New page (+ character next to Pages) just clears existing page
Can I report this somewhere?
