• UI elements with a hand-drawn, sketchy look

  My favorite tool for this is Balsamiq Wireframes: https://balsamiq.com/wireframes/ Having to write code loses the point of quick and dirty. - Source: Hacker News / 29 days ago

• Rough.js: Create graphics with a hand-drawn, sketchy, appearance

  Me of https://balsamiq.com/wireframes/ - guy used to do a lot of startup blogs about it. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Best package for doing UI/UX

  If you want to lay it out, use something like Balsamiq first. Just wireframe it. You’ll be surprised how much better your last version is than your first version. Once you’re done, you can try to make a nice version in Figma. And then do the hard part and do the actual programming. Source: over 1 year ago

• Show HN: TinyUX – Grid based low-fi wireframing on your mobile phone

  > I still don't get this. Isn't it just using a different style of outline around buttons? What is lo-fi about it? Wouldn't lo-fi be something that was much lower memory and much faster to draw, like solid color boxes? Low-fidelity is jargon. It's a word used in the UX Design community for high level, low detail design artifacts. Perhaps you are thinking of low-fi audio and try to match that to wire-frames.... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Is there an “uncanny valley” effect with startup MVPs

  ...to the point that (great) UX and wireframing tools like Balsamiq look crappy _on purpose_: https://balsamiq.com/wireframes/ Which all kinda makes sense, with the intuitive reasoning being: If you had time and money to sink into a pixel-perfect design, you're already one step beyond product-market fit, so creating a too good impression might not work in your favor. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Monitor Connectivity Software ???

  Statuscake.com if you just need a simple up/down monitor. Source: about 2 years ago

• basic external monitoring system

  I've had a great time with statuscake.com for my personal and friends sites. They've even improved custom status pages to include an automatically signed certificate too, so you can make a site like status.yourdomain.com... Test TCP connection, specific HTTP/HTTPS query etc. 5 minute intervals for free, more with paid plans. Source: over 2 years ago

• Expired Certificate

  I use statuscake.com for external stuff and nagios for internal. PRTG is good too. Source: over 2 years ago

• Website uptime reporting

  I use statuscake.com for all my personal / friend sites. There seems to be no limit to number of sites to monitor for basic 5 minute intervals in the free account. Source: over 2 years ago

• How to get notified when home loses power?

  I use noip.com for a free domain name and a free plan on statuscake.com for this setup. Source: almost 3 years ago
