Re: UI elements with a hand-drawn, sketchy look
#92There was a charming theme for Mac OS which looked something along these lines (and there was another which collapsed elements down to the bare minimum of space necessary which was a big help, and wish had been preserved, or re-created on some other platform --- in particular, being able to arrange a line of window-shaded folders and to double-click on any one to make it visible was a god-send on small displays) --- it would be nice if theming were simpler to do/implement.

#93This is UI theory gone wrong. The idea that users will give feedback more freely when something looks unfinished is at best a non-validated theory. This used to work with actual paper prototypes. But going the extra length to make UI designs look hand-drawn, when the users know full well they are computer generated is just busy work. Showing the users what the actual design might look like works better and it actuall…
It's great for showing work to clients, not users.
I've always gotten so much complaints when wireframes look too much as design, they will start making all kinds of comments about how it looks instead of focusing on structure.
I used balsamiq wireframes tool a lot for that reason.

#94Finally. I have occasionally been looking for something similar & it was not important enough to do it myself. Now i have a good basis to start from. Thank you!

#95My favorite tool for this is Balsamiq Wireframes: https://balsamiq.com/wireframes/ Having to write code loses the point of quick and dirty.
I really like https://wireframesketcher.com/ No cloud dependencies, and a lifetime license for $99. These are becoming rarer and rarer
Sadly, the "lifetime license" only includes one year of updates.

#96I like it for the aesthetics. It's cute. I don't care whether it's more useful for getting feedback or whatever.
If you just want the visuals and don't need the JS parts, you can use PaperCSS.

Thanks for the tip, just checked it out. I prefer the aesthetics of the current one better. Paper CSS looks like a kid drew those elements. This one has the hand-drawn look of a more professional hand.

Counterpoint, it looks good.
