Browsing Neat & Nifty topic(s).
Recently, I started using HotGloo for my UX/Wireframing projects. Being a HUGE OmniGraffle fanboy, this was a tough switch but I was looking for something that allowed me to wireframe and ideate with my business partner Sunny at the same time. We both work together on nearly everything and it’s hard waiting on each other to make tweaks to a wireframe when only one of us can have the file open at a time. So we went searching for something to fit the collab bill and we found HotGloo!
It may not have all the nifty features as some of the other favorite wireframing solutions out there but it’s pretty dang awesome in it’s own right. Just being able to open up a browser and join Sunny in a wireframe session makes it worthwhile, but there are a lot of other features worth mentioning. One in particular is the interactions you can build in to your wireframes. You can simulate pretty closely the functions of a page or site by activating clickable areas in review mode. Then you invite your client and let them play around.
The interface is pretty sweet as well. I found it extremely intuitive and caught on to using it pretty quick. I’m still looking for some form of way to create my own symbols (that I can edit once placed on a sheet) and the way to rotate something (I’m sure I’m missing that somewhere). All in all though, this tool is serving us nicely and I look forward to getting better and better at using it.

Thanks guys for a great app! Keep it up! Follow Hotglue on twitter or facebook (and tell them I said “hi”)
This has to be the coolest case innovation for the iPad yet IMHO. ClamCase, I want one!
I was just recently informed of the SymLinks function in assosiation with DropBox. I know, I should have probably known this already, but I didn’t. This is seriously cool. You can back up any folder on your computer to dropbox. Sweet! And yes… I said “BOOM!”
I just downloaded OmmWriter for Mac and I am so impressed! What an awesome app. It’s a free download (while in Beta I assume). If you are any form of a writer in any way, you should try this app too. So… Check out the video above and give it a try. After that, let [...]
Photoshop is undoubtedly the most well-known image editor for both PC and Mac, yet it is often too large, expensive, and complex for the average user’s day-to-day tasks. One of the simpler and cheaper applications for the mac is Acorn from Flying Meat Software. Acorn’s interface is composed of an editing canvas and tools box. [...]
The Mac is no stranger to education, and one of the best study applications available is Genius, a virtual flash card program. By utilizing repetition patterns, Genius aims to help in memorizing miscellaneous items. Genius works by allowing for entering a series of questions and answers. Each of these questions can be assigned to categories [...]
