How customer helps us to improve JustProto

A while ago we got a message from one of the users. Here’s what Mark said:

I really wish that I could set the individual menu cell width for a horizontal menu so that when I am overlaying it on an existing web design that it will line up correctly with the existing menu tabs… is there any possible way to get that functionality in the software? I have been looking for this feature EVERYWHERE and nobody has it.

Well, now no one can say “nobody has it” ;)
We took Mark’s suggestion under consideration and now it’s possible to set individual height and width for the menu element. You can do it manually – just click on the menu and you’ll see highlighted sections that you can set exactly how you need them.
What seemed to be a little improvement ended up being a big programming pain but eventually, we were able to set it up for Mark and all of you!

Kudos for Buka and Dooshek for not abandoning ship mid-project!

You can all try out the improvement here!

We love to get your feedback and we take all suggestions very seriously.
If there’s anything we can improve for you – just drop us a line!

New and improved Text Editor now in JustProto!

 

As part of a  new JustProto version, we improved the text editor. Next to standard formatting options now you have available a few new ones. What options exactly? Take a look at the picture. Below the image, you’ll find a brief description of each new option.

Paste as plain text – this option helps you when when you want to add a tex full of links – without those links. While using previous  editor you had to remove all links manually and that took some time. Now just select the Paste as plain text option and paste your linked text there – after you confirm all links will be automatically removed. Simpler and faster, right? :)

Paste – sometimes you need to paste the text with links. To do so just click on Paste, copy the text there, confirm et voila!  :)

Find – sometimes it happens that the text you write is very long and you want to find one exact word in it. To find it faster use Find and type your chosen word there. It’ll be highlited in the editor window.

Find and replace – this option lets you to find an exact word and replace it with some other word chosen by you.

Clear formatting – when you highlight formated text and click this option all the formatting will be removed and set do default.

Add / remove link – this option gives you the chance to link a piece of text to another webpage somewhere on the web. Previous text editor didn’t have such an option – you had to add another text block to link it as the whole text was one big link. Now you can choose a certain part of the text and link it. Or unlink it using the Remove link option..

Select special character ­­– gives you all kinds of special characters that you can add to your text: accents, umlauts or fractions.

Login to JustProto and check out new options!

Chat or refining communication once again.

Soon JustProto’s getting new feature – chat:)

Thanks to chat all collaborators will have the chance to talk over the project in JustProto without using any other chatlike solutions. Chat history will be saved in JustProto so users gain access to conversations – even if they go out of town – directly in the web browser. Thanks to Chat option new users and clients will also have the chance to follow older conversations to check what’s going on with the project. Pretty cool, isn’t it? ;)

Prototype your world using JustProto!

Lock it! New feature allowing locking and unlocking elements.

How many times were you annoyed by the fact your perfectly placed elements moved accidentally? Or the cat sat on the keyboard and your work just went to hell? If that made you “go bananas” – here’s the solution: we present new
JustProto element property – Lock/Unlock!

From now on you can block certain elements using the Lock/Unlock option in the top bar over your workbench.

Blocked elements can’t be added to selection or moved. If you press delete or want to cut blocked elements you’ll be asked for confirmation. You can still copy blocked elements – all the properties will remain the same for both elements, except the copy won’t be blocked.

Every blocked element will have a tooltip with the name of the element and a small padlock. You may find it useful, especially while making more complex prototypes.

Try it on your prototypes!

1.5 JustProto Version is now working!

Dear JustProto fans and users!

It’s been a while since our last post. We sincerely apologize for this, but we were extremely loaded with lots of running projects and what’s the most important – improving JustProto.

Today, we release a new, upgraded 1.5 JustProto version with several remarkable changes.

– We made JustProto application significantly faster – you can especially notice that, while composing project full to the brim with many different elements. It’s beceause we used mootools 1.22 instead of mootools 1.11. Now, your browser is immortal!:)

Enhanced Page Navigator

How was it previously?
when you duplicated a page it was at the end of pages list.
