24 alternatives to I built a mockup/prototype/wireframe editor in ten weeks
Hi HN, After watching a lot of Show HN's here, it's finally my turn to show something. This is the first real project I have shipped, so it is extra special to me. For those who will inevitably ask why I made yet another mockup editor I covered it on our blog (http://blog.mocktailsapp.in/why-build-yet-another-mockup-editor-tm). Not all the features mentioned in that post have been implemented yet. As such Mocktails is pre-beta software and very minimal. It does not even have user accounts or any actual server side component at all for that matter (yet)! Our intention is to build Mocktails…
Mocktails is a web-based mockup and wireframe editor built to help designers create prototypes. The tool allows users to design interfaces directly in the browser without requiring account creation or server-side… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. I built a mockup/prototype/wireframe editor in ten weeks launched in 2012; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

21st.dev▲1,211I originally built this app to organize and reuse interesting React + Tailwind components I came across on Twitter, inspired by the shadcn/ui approach. Later, a friend started contributing their own components, and it got me thinking—this could grow into something bigger, like an NPM for design engineers to share and use components. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Once UI 1.5▲302When I started my career and built my first design system, I was beyond excited. It took a lot of iterations, learning and 6 months of work to launch it internally. In the next job, I did it again, then at the following job, again… And no matter which company I worked for, 80% of the design system was the same. I’ve decided to work full-time on the design system I’ve always wanted, and today I’m launching and open-sourcing it. You can use it to build Next.js apps faster, and I’ve designed it in a way that it’s hard to go wrong with it: you can choose any settings, and you’ll end up with a…

TypMo▲154Hello HN! I’ve been working on a small tool that helps you move from quick wireframe experiments to solid, production-ready prompts. As a designer, I’ve always felt that getting the structure right early saves a ton of pain later. TypMo leans into that idea by grounding everything in IA-style wireframes- fast to create, easy to iterate, and perfect for figuring out what you actually mean before throwing prompts at AI. I’m now pushing it a step further with a lightweight DSL. Still early, still rough around the edges, but with some AI help it’s starting to feel real. Would love to hear what…
