Ask HN: Who wants to build a decent wireframing tool?

A few months back I wrote an article on how every single wireframing tool available sucks.

http://www.colmtuite.com/three-reasons-why-wireframing-tools-suck

The post was well received and I got a ton of emails from people who agreed with me. A few people even offered me money to build the tool.

A few minutes ago, I sat down to wireframe a new project and I'm already pissed off. I need a good wireframing tool. I would pay for one. Unfortunately, my Javascript chops are not up to scratch and I'm too busy with other projects for the next 6 months.

Anyone care to build this tool?

I guess I could change WireframeApp to comply with most of your ideas. You could also do that, it's open source.

I read your blog post but I need more specifics. Could you send an email with more info?

Check it out: https://github.com/eduardordm/wireframeapp

Also available on the appstore (.99 cents) Sorry for not putting it there for free, but someone gave me 1-star rating and I got upset by it.

Hey,

Thanks for the reply but I don't own an iPad. If I did, I wouldn't design or code on it.

I'll take a stab at it after I am done my current project(which should be by the end of the month). I'll post the link back here when I am done.

The best tool out there for me is Adobe Illustrator. Nothing can beat this. I tryed all. I use AI then Bootstrap for fast coding prototype of my AI.
