milestones

• Usecase:
  • Quick exchange PM, Dev, UX
  • Communication-Aid in positioning elements, clarifying relations, can/should be be “symbolic” (sketchy, box with MENU in it, pasted screenshot)
  • Moving away from text based, non visual communication and documentation of it
  • Competition: Paper, which is used without specifying detail works very quickly.
    • Most important:
      • "Pen and paper for remote work"
      • easier to alter, particularly in case you want to swap element
    • Possible extensions
      • attach feedback, comments, arrows… (however, this might be too much in a full fledged application)
      • Possibly: generate a boilerplat-y version to work in the next tool (however, this might be too much in a full fledged application)
  • Competition: Balsamiq
    • Is a more complex application
    • "Imperative": Drag, Draw, settings in the sidebar…
  • Competition: Whimsical

Possible Results

• Drag Widgets but draw containers (as minimal amount of elements that have most useful constraints)
  • Both can be decorated with border, background…
• "Auto-reflows" (which paper does not have)
  • Heuristics for swapping element positions
  • Push things most right or most top etc.
• Chat integration (e.g. Mattermost)
