Just recently I finished a AI agent skill for making wireframes and clickable prototypes in the hand-drawn aesthetics (Github: https://github.com/agilek/wireframer-skill)

Sample output:

On a side, I am building OS player in React for museums and other cultural institutions: https://audioguidekit.org/ – released the very first version just a month ago.

Guide: Figma for developers (without paid account)

agilek — Mon, 12 May 2025 12:00:37 +0000

Hey, I’m a designer and work a lot with developers who access my designs in Figma. I put together a "quick guide" that might help others.

Honestly, I still see no to little value in dev mode in Figma and I think the most of the FE developers can do the work without it (at least until Figma decides to remove inspecting on the free plan, lol :D)

---

Install the desktop app

- Better performance than in browser, especially for large files

- Supports local fonts (no extra work needed)

- Keyboard shortcuts work properly

- Offline access to previously opened files

- Less distractions than browser version

---

Create a Figma account

- you can't do much without it (it's free)

- As of the latest update, it's basically unusable without an account: you can only view files

---

What you can do as a viewer on a free account

- View comments

- Add comments (including mentions and image uploads)

- See layer dimensions (width, height)

- Measure distances: Select a layer, hold Alt (or Option on Mac), and hover another element

- Inspect layers and copy properties (dimensions, content, colors, typography, etc.)

- Export assets (SVG, PNG, JPG, PDF)

- Run prototypes

- Use built-in voice calls

---

What you can't do without a paid seat

- Use any Dev Mode features, even if added in design mode

  - Includes annotations (used to be free until May 2025)  

  - Accurate measurements

---

Dev Mode trial tip

Ask for edit access on a file — you’ll get 3 days of Dev Mode access while waiting for approval.

Ask HN: How does billing in man-days work?

agilek — Thu, 25 Aug 2016 07:12:30 +0000

Hey guys, I would like to get your opinion on billing in man-days. Take this example:

- you are billing in MD - you have a client who requests some work on Tuesday and you finish it the same day in 2 hours and send it back to the client by the end of the day - on Thursday there's a call from client with a new work, the same scenario happens, you finish it in 2 hours and deliver to the client by the end of the day.

My question is: how much would you charge your client?

1.) 0,5 MD 2.) 1 MD 3.) 2 MD
