Review my app: MockupTiger (mockuptiger.com)

Seems like a useful app and it works pretty well. Others have mentioned the font, but in general I think if you worked with a designer on improving the overally appearance and the design of the different elements, the app would benefit greatly.


thank you. not being a designer I tried to keep it basic. Can you point out any specific design/appearance issue. Is it the interface or the widgets?


I was thinking primarily the widgets. I'd check out a program like Omnigraffle or Visio to get a sense of the kind of objects they have there and see the visual style that they are using. I am assuming this is kinda meant to be a lightweight replacement for one of those.


Is there a grid at all? It make it hard to line things up. I was trying to select more than one object, to try aligning, but I couldn't figure out how. No shift click or option click or command click.


Thank you for trying it out The grid is there under the container section http://www.mockuptiger.com/how-to-build-table-grids You can use the rubberband to select multiple and then use the align buttons in the top toolbar. You can use ctrl+click. Shift click is not supported.


Ah, sorry, I didn't mean a grid in a table. I meant a "snap to" grid so you line up elements like you were using 960.gs, for example.

Also, control+click isn't working for me (Firefox 5/Mac).


ok, yes snap to grid will be added soon. It is there but not enabled for this demo


Seems like it could be useful with some polishing, but I can't get past the Comic Sans.


@skylervm

You will be able to change the font. I just set the initial font but never got to change it. sorry about that


Hi All, just released the beta

I made it easy for everyone to check it out. If you wish you can also download the application on your desktop using this link http://tinyurl.com/3f4rcco

Let me know what you think. :)

Thanks


Please use Firefox or chrome. IE is not supported as it uses HTML5 canvas element. Sorry for the inconvenience

What is a better handwritten font that I could use from this list?

Remove comic sans and it will be awesome. Make use of Google WebFonts.
