YOKOHAMA (Señor Tomato) – This is the most beautiful season of the year in the Tokyo area as we see cherry blossoms here and there. In my area, I see a lot of red and yellow tulips while jogging.
I always wanted to create a software title that lets people share mobile app designs, but I was quite reluctant to work on it as I expected a lot of hurdles. Well, eight days later… Hmm… It’s way sooner than I had expected. I’m ready to introduce to you a new iOS app submission to Apple’s App Store. It’s called Design Mob.
Nowadays, use of Figma is a fixture in the iOS software development. You may receive a design blueprint from your client through Figma. I have a couple of cases where I received them from clients. They do offer a great service except that the membership prices are quite expensive. So I wanted to develop something that people can use to share design projects for iOS users.
Design Mob is an iOS app for iPhone and iPad users that lets them share mobile app design projects. A design administrator can work on their projects locally as it doesn’t require a constant WiFi connection. Once they are finished, they can share the project they select with a tap of a button with their development team. Those who receive a design project are referred to as design users who don’t have to do anything but to wait after accepting an invitation from the administrator. When the design administrator pushes a project, their devices will receive a notification and automatically save the project file. All they have to do, then, is to select a design project and a screen to see the blueprint.
Design Mob supports more than twenty phone and tablet screen sizes in addition to more than twenty mobile UI components including Button, TextField, Map, Switch. So all you to do is add this and that to the canvas. Move them to the right place, change the text color and so forth. You can also create a drop-down menu with actual tab names.
The app also lets you create a PDF file from a blueprint you select. So select a design project, which can contain more than one screen. Select one of them, and you will get a share link.
The main objective of using this app is to bridge the design administrator and their development team members. Once the design administrator taps the push button, all team members will receive a notification call, and the app will get a design project file through WiFi without manual download.
