For folks wondering "when would I use this?" I have used tools like these early in the design process for broad, net-new features or redesigns in apps where driving alignment early on is crucial to success. In a more buttoned-up Agency process you might see something like: General Idea > White Board Session > High Level Screen Flows (this) > Individual Wireframes > High-Fidelity UI > Coding. These are useful tools to…

This is a great explanation. Thanks!

The collection is quite impressive, and $19 is a no brainer to buy because of the lifetime upgrade. I have already bought the Tailwind UI with lifetime upgrade and use it for every design I need to make. Hopefully this collection will be a cherry on the top! Please don’t roll out a monthly fee for it and stop supporting lifetime customers like some companies do.

Thank you for the motivation! I don't like these kinds of products sold with a monthly fee, as a designer. That's because I don't think a monthly fee. What I'm thinking is to create another set, with mobile flows in mind, as an upsell to this product. Maybe after that, a wireframe kit, as well. Let's see :)

Well you have a vote right here for mobile flows, I think that would be awesome!

May I ask... do you ever construct information architectures (aka sitemaps) for your clients? If so, what tools would you use for this?

Nice explanation, thank you for sharing. Do you have any experience working with mobile apps? I'm wondering if any aspects of the design process you outlined differ when working with mobile apps?

I am so happy you made this. I was just contemplating trying to explain this to someone and having them make them for me...and here they are. You are amazing. Now, please make the middle and back-end cards and I will be delirious with joy. When you don't know how to code and cannot visualize the steps that a potential customer might take these will be so freaking useful as I try to create my first SaaS. I guess I could have went to a site and stopped every few seconds to write out my whole journey....but what a waste of a day. The only thing missing is some kind of overview about which types of sites benefit from specific workflow examples with APIs that are currently available. I am probably not explaining it very well. But Clement Vouillon of Point ( Capital wrote this incredible post called "How APIs are eating the Product Stack" and the one thing missing was the hierarchy. In other words, a visual representation of when things went where.... Now, with these flow cards, I can map out the stack and see how it is supposed to work. For those of us on the "No-Code/Minimal Code" side of things, this seems like a huge game changer.

Thank You.
