Pencil - Open source design tool using Electron.

Pencil: https://pencil.evolus.vn/

I am a software developer, so doing UX is never my strength. From time to time though, I would resort to using the open source tool Pencil (https://pencil.evolus.vn/) to get a low fidelity mock-up. Lately I've been encountering bugs where images would come out broken when I re-open my wireframe in Pencil.

Frustrated of the issue on Pencil, I tried out uizard yesterday, and have been really happy with it. It's almost as convenient and fancy as Figma, yet it's much more easy to use. I was able to pull up a decent looking wireframe in a relatively short amount of time.

Just sharing my experience here as a happy user, cos somehow I'm not seeing that many articles about uizard here. :)

good evening, was looking for the source and i find in the home page:

Thanks for your replies. I checked some of them out, but I found one on my own that fits me perfectly: Pencil

You got it! Yea, I can't promise everything will work perfectly with all those other platforms, but I will promise that I believe we have the best handling out there. We have 10+ engineers fielding issues from 1000s of developers every month and incrementally improving.

We try to collect as little data as possible, but we use RevenueCat for handling the IAP. We currently use it with anonymous (randomly generated) IDs and don't save additional attribution metadata, so we try to be as privacy-friendly as is possible with this setup.

For IAPs, RevenueCat is one of the simplest setup that exists for React Native. And they have an expo plugin. But having this expo management workflow is the first thing you want to do. https://www.revenuecat.com/

Alternatively you could use RevenueCat which would handle receipt validation for you. I haven’t used it personally but everyone seems to sing its praises.

There are services out there like revenuecat (disclaimer: I have no connection with them, other than being a satisfied customer) that help make these things easier. I recommend looking into them if you’re struggling to wrap your head around it on your own, apple’s documentation can be pretty hard to decipher at times.

I'm Josh Holtz, the author of this article. You might now me from my lead maintainer role of fastlane, creator of Indie Dev Monday, and founder of the new Deep Dish Swift conference ☺️ But I also work at RevenueCat to help developers make more money by making in-app purchases and subscriptions easier!

I have integrated RevenueCat in my previous Startup Fitenium to manage subscriptions, and it was one of the best decisions. Instead of having to integrate both Apple and Google play SDK for subscriptions, with RevenueCat I simply integrated their SDK, which is well documented and much easier to work with. Everything else is magically managed by RevenueCat behind the scenes, to properly handle the payments, users, and analytics.
