Show HN: Noya (YC W21) – A wireframing tool that generates designs and code Hi HN! We’ve been building a new browser-based design tool that’s ready for you to play with! My cofounder David and I were previously on the Design Tools team at Airbnb, where we built lots of innovative tools to improve the design process internally. Now we’re trying to bring this caliber of tools to everyone. The first problem we’re trying to solve is the age-old problem of working in low fidelity vs. high fidelity when designing UI. Low fidelity wireframes are great for quick iteration while hashing out the main idea, while high fidelity mockups and prototypes are often better for conveying the idea to teammates or pitching the idea to customers. With Noya, you get to work in low fidelity, while still getting a high fidelity output you can share. Noya does this by converting your low fidelity blocks into high fidelity design system & React components. I think of the current version as an MVP still, since there’s a lot more that I want to add, but I’ve personally been finding it useful even with its limited feature set. I’d be very interested in any early feedback if you have a chance to play with it! PS: We’ve open sourced most of Noya at https://ift.tt/MLCESYa . Let us know if you’re interested in collaborating. https://www.noya.io February 10, 2023 at 04:22AM
Show HN: Tape It, iOS recording app for musicians Hello HN, Over the last 15 months, two friends and I developed the music recording app we felt we wanted based on our own needs as musicians. It's called Tape It [1] and has just recently hit the Apple App Store [2]. We put a lot of effort into a good UX to help musicians really focus on playing their instrument instead of pretending to be a recording engineer. The app records in stereo on newer iPhones (although that's a premium feature; the free version only records in standard mono audio quality). I would be really grateful for advice from this community on how to best approach marketing. We had a great TechCrunch article covering our launch [3], and we posted it on various music websites. Turns out advertising on Google or Apple Search is a dark art, though. We have some good ideas for developing a good social media presence, but they will take time. Please hit us with feedback, opinions and advice that you think a young ind...
