Thank you! I hope it works well in your pilot project.
In my process, I often hack a design in my browser first, capture a full-page screenshot and continue to iterate in NextUX to visualize new ideas quickly. I built most of NextUX this way.
Sometimes a new design can be articulated with a contextual comment on an existing design or a quick hacked together amalgamation of elements. I think good design is messy and evolving.
I've noticed that I become a perfectionist in other design apps like Figma and the design begins to deviate from production as things develop. It can be quite frustrating!
I remember many years ago using Fireworks, then Photoshop, then Sketch, and most recently Figma. With each platform I said,
"I will never leave Fireworks" (2005-2008)
"I will never leave Photoshop" (2009-2012)
"I will never leave Sketch" (2013-2016)
"I will never leave Figma" (2017-2020)
But I think Figma is a great product and I think NextUX can compliment it in many ways. NextUX is great for quick feedback or design creation based on what's already in your browser.
