I was using the Marginize Google Chrome extension the other day, and thought that it would be a nice challenge to recreate it using Flairbuilder 2.5.4. I succeeded, here is the end result. Don't worry, if you have Flairbuilder, you can download it from the internal community location.
Hey Cristian, this update is amazing. I have a little bit of time to give you a brief summary of the changes I noticed, along with some changes that can still be made.
Changes made
1. The guidelines now show a little notification showing the x and y coordinates
2. The guidelines show the notification if the user does one of two things, hovers or drags the green line.
Changes yet to be made
1. The component specific action in the interactions window should either be removed, or have a beta sticker stating that it is in progress (I know we talked about this the other day).
2. Speaking of beta features, the inability to recover deleted pages could be changed sooner or later.
3. A few more changes that I would like to see:
a. Ability to open interactions from right click menu
b. More flexibility with grouping components and accurately animating them
c. More robust and intuitive way to create shapes, perhaps utilizing the guides feature
d. Prevent users from clicking on a component if it is locked
e. Allow users to select a component or group that is a different z-index, similar to the select behind feature in Balsamiq
f. Ability to edit the description of a component and search custom components within the app, similar to the search option for built-in components
This is a short list of what can be changed, but Bravo on the much needed update and Kudos to Peldi and the Balsamiq team for helping out.
And now for your viewing pleasure, here are some photos highlighting the new features of Flairbuilder, along with some explanations of each change.
Update: I have made quite a few designs since the new release has been out and I would like to show you one of them.
Hey everyone, decided to take a day off to catch up on my other passion, Mockups. I have been working with Flairbuilder, Balsamiq Mockups, and ForeUI, but for the sake of this post, let me focus on Flairbuilder.
I will start to post experimental wireframes, such as the color picker that I posted on the Flairbuilder community site. I hope you visit this site and enjoy my submissions just as well.
Thanks to www.colorpicker.com for the idea.
