What is Discuit?
Discuit is an open-source interface design and prototyping tool that can be used as an alternative to Figma. It allows designers and developers to collaborate in real-time on designing and building user interfaces.
Some of the key features of Discuit include:
- Vector design and prototyping tools for creating mockups and prototypes
- Supports multiple pages and artboards for complex designs
- Built-in version control shows history of changes
- Real-time collaboration allowing multiple team members to work together
- Plugin ecosystem to extend functionality
- Code export to easily convert designs into actual code
- Cross-platform apps for Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android
As an open-source project, Discuit is completely free to use. The code is developed publicly on GitHub. This allows anyone to contribute fixes or new features. It also means companies can run their own private Discuit servers. As it is MIT licensed, Discuit can be used for commercial projects.
By combining an easy-to-use graphic interface with powerful collaboration and coding features, Discuit aims to provide a compelling free alternative to established paid tools like Figma and Adobe XD especially for open-source development teams and small startups.
