How Mockflow could be amazing
Mockflow is good. You can wireframe up projects really quickly and share them with collaborators easily. However, as a new Mockflow premium user, there are a few things that aren’t quite working yet - things that if Produle could get working, would make Mockflow amazing!
- Make Real time collaboration really real time - new versions of the mockup you’re looking at don’t automatically appear in your screen, google docs style. You have to manually refresh / reload the view when you receive a notification that your team member has saved a new version. If at that point you have unsaved work, refreshing will mean you will loose your changes.
- Stop editors writing over each other’s work - because the Mockflow interface (both online and app) doesn’t compare versions when you’re making a save. Even if two of you make changes to different parts of the mockup, Mockflow just writes over the previous change and has no merge capabilities. You can take the editorial lock on a project, but that’s not really “real time collaboration”.
- Improve export to PDF. Mockflow appears to turn your mock-ups into images and then wrap them in a “not very good” PDF file. Links between pages will be marked with an icon, but will not operate in the PDF file nor show what the destination is. This would benefit from an improved system.
- Make export to PDF with comments do multiple pages. Currently, if you want to turn all your mock-up into a PDF file with comments, you’re going to have to run the export page by page and then join the PDFs together.
If these things could be addressed in future versions, Mockflow could surely become the must have app!
