Hello all,
I am technical founder and a solo developer working on an educational learning platform for college students (currently based out of SF, but relocating to India post the covid situation). I have a background in backend/data engineering and Machine Learning, but have not worked on front end technologies and design. I'm wondering if there are any tools that are recommended for designing web and mobile apps. I'm specifically looking for suggestions to create front end elements, style sheets etc using some kind of WYSIWYG interface to begin with before hiring engineers.
PS: I'm also looking for co-founders - please reach out to me if you are interested in learning more and talking out about education technology.
One of key advantage is that it has Google-Doc-like collaboration features which will make communication with team members much easier down the line. Other features I like are:
- it lets you define components similar to how you would structure your components when coding the frontend, which will help you develop a cohesive styleguide
- you can create a clickable prototype which can help present your designs or for user testing
If you've used other design software like Sketch or Adobe XD, then Figma is like an online version.
