🏄‍♂️ Aloha Product Hunt! Our bootstrap team is happy to introduce you to Aaply. It makes apps happen. It makes your ideas visual and tangible. Story 🍿 We were designing a mobile startup on a board. When we ran out of space, we decided to ask a designer to continue in Figma, but he was on vacation 🤷‍♂️ That inspired us to create a simple tool for wireframing mobile screens and discussing mobile flows. The problem 😐 It’s frustrating to go from an exciting mobile app idea to the final UI design. That’s terrifying, there is even a name for it – white sheet syndrome. Anyway, that sucks 👎 The BIG problems 🤯🤯🤯 — Mobile app’s UI design is challenging and hard to comprehend. — The process of UI fine-tuning requires too much repetitive work. — High price of a mistake in the beginning (design + content + dev + qa). — Every time you start from scratch. — Founders, UXs, PMs depend too much on a designer's skill. — In case devs can’t implement the final design you need to re-design again. ✨ The Solution A visual collaborative tool that makes an early mobile design stage easier and faster for everyone: Create screens + use wireframe constructor + templates + copy blocks + divide your app into logical groups + plan mobile flows + duplicate for alternative variations + discuss and approve the best one! Design draft mobile app in Figma: 3 days. Make first iteration in Aaply: 30 min ⚡ 💎 Insights + value We learned a lot from our moms and dads, but we learned even more from various design teams and solo designers. 1. You better plan a mobile strategy (engagement, retention) before you jump to UI. 2. Variability in mobile patterns allows you to find usable, balanced variations of the future app. 3. The earlier you discuss the whole app with your team – the lower the risks. 4. Common templates of mobile apps collected in your libraries allow you to save a lot of time. 5. One option is never enough. Brainstorming over several flows helps you find the best one! 6. The impact on improving the product experience is much more effective when you work with logically grouped mobile flows (rather than separate screens). 7. Design process speed up: collect the scope in Notion → visualize app ideas in Aaply → design approved on in Figma (integration is coming soon!). 👁️ Vision We believe in valuable changes — we want to create things that matter. We believe that everyone can make apps happen – that’s why we gonna keep our tool 100% free for everyone 🎉 as long as possible. Make your app happen 🙌
