mydraft.cc: Open Source Wireframing Tools

Test it out at: https://mydraft.cc/

The goal of this project is to create an open source wireframing tool. As a developer I have to create wireframes from time to time and there are great commercial tool in the market. But most of them cost more than a full Office suite per month. I think there is a need for a good and free solutions.

Why another open source tool? There is pencil

There is a great open source tool: http://pencil.evolus.vn/

We see some issue with this project:

1. It uses outdated technology and therefore it is hard to contribute.
2. It is mainly maintained by a small company and few people.
3. It is missing advanced features.
4. The UI design is really oldschool ;)
