What's your rapid prototyping tool/process

2 points by e_py ↗ HN
Hello everyone

I am looking for new ways, processes and tools to speed up the prototyping of new applications, mostly FE apps. My goal is to have something that I can show to the business people asap before sending it to the providers to build it.

I am open to any tools or processes you think they can be of interest. I have used invision in the past but I am also interested in code generation for the prototypes.

Any ideas? Thanks

any kind of prototyping is fast enough nowadays. but if you are doing research, you will get slow cause unkown stuff is just that, unkown.

A bit outside your original topic, but these days I kinda almost wish there was a scratch like application for prototyping things, but with access to real API's for doing useful work.

Why do you need code generation for the prototypes? How would that help you solve the issue of having something to show before building?

I used Bubble (bubble.io), a visual programming tool, to create fully functional applications very similar to UI prototyping.
