### 4. Weighing up the best free wireframing tool for you
The order of these tools is a personal preference but feel free to open an issue to let us know about better tools or your thoughts on any of the tools listed below.

### 1. draw.io (formerly diagramly)

### 1. MyDraft https://mydraft.cc/, https://github.com/mydraft-cc/ui
MyDraft comes top of our list because it is both free **and** open-source. This
is the only platform available online and still being maintained that we have come
across (although please open an issue if you know of others :heart:). It is
written in typescript, react and redux and uses the font awesome library for
icons. It's available to use online. It has the basics of what's needed for
building simple wireframes and being open source, you can create a PR if there
are any new features you want to add! Here's a version of the first wireframe
screen from above that was made with MyDraft:

## Example

Here's an example of a user sign up flow for https://www.clubsodaguide.com/ it
made using draw.io. In this example a venue manager e.g. Pub landlord wants to
have their venue listed on the Club Soda Guide. To do this they first go to
'List A Venue', they then add their email address along with the other details of their venue and then once they've finished adding details about the venue they
must verify their email. Once they've clicked the link in the verification email
they are then asked to create a password. Once this process is complete a user
can then login again as they have successfully set up an account to add new
details or edit existing ones about their venue.
