What is SwingSane?
SwingSane is an open source user interface design and prototyping tool. It allows designers and developers to quickly create wireframes, mockups, and interactive prototypes to visualize and test digital product concepts.
Some of SwingSane's key features include:
- Drag-and-drop editor for placing common UI components like buttons, forms, menus onto a canvas
- Extensive library of customizable widgets and templates for web, mobile, and desktop layouts
- Collaboration tools for sharing prototypes and getting feedback from team members
- Interactive prototypes to simulate real user experience and flows
- Version history and project organization for iterating on mocks
- Export final designs as images, PDFs, style guides or as code snippets
SwingSane aims to provide an affordable alternative to expensive proprietary tools like UXPin. It gives teams the ability to turn ideas into interactive wireframes and prototypes quickly without coding. The open source nature also allows customizing SwingSane to team's specific needs.
