#32Looks really cool & easy to use. In Mac, we cannot delete a frame or other objects with "Delete" key after selecting it. We have to right click & select "delete".

#33Are people still using Balsamiq?! I haven't heard that name in literally forever. I used to use it and love it like fifteen years ago when I fancied myself a designer and not just a backend dev.

#35I'm a Business Analyst, so I find your tool quite interesting. I'll definitely give it a try. However, I would like to ask if your product includes sufficient notation to draw according to BPMN standards.
I think it’s not a tool for business analysts but for UI designers.

Wrong tool for this - I'd recommend https://bpmn.io/ instead.

#37If 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.

I use it a lot.
Figma, penpot etc, aren't for me. I often need something in the phase where we're deciding on "what's on the page at all. And what screens do we have". Way before there's need for styling and layout, which I'll leave to skilled designers.
I need something with libraries. "This is where a map goes" and "we have a modal here", and I can just plop in a thing that communicates "this is a map of some country" or "a large modal". Again, without styling, shadows, animations or even proper layout .
And I need something that I can share with coworkers.
A pen and paper (with grids), or whiteboard works best for me, but has no libs and is hard to collaborate on (in a remote, hybrid environment).

#39> Don't spend a lot of time and effort creating low-fidelity wireframes.

#40No Linux support :'(
I don't understand these decisions.
This is a collaborative tool. So you cannot say "only 5% of the audience is Linux users", but instead you'll rule out any team where at least one member is Linux user. Which is a far larger group.
If I discount myself, that's 8 of 9 teams and startups I worked in last years where we needed wireframing.
But I hope the Konty team has better numbers on this. I presume they know more than my anecdotal numbers.
