    Dear Diary,

    I'm drowning in prototype / workflow / collaboration / wireframing apps.

    Framer, webflow, sketch, invisionapp, gravit, blah blah.
    I'm old-school / just old.

    The last design I did was in Photoshop 2 years ago, and then handed over to a developer.

    None of these apps are local and do what I need it to actually do.

    I've picked up Adobe XD and really like it. It's fast, simple, light, and they haven't bloated it yet.

    It won't export html/css....

    I tried macaw.co and it seems bloaty code.

    I want a simple non browser based app to design fast landing pages and microsites... that's it.

    0-$100 one off fee is fine - I'm not paying $20 / month for a cloud based service- I don't always have internet.

    Please solution me-

    Otherwise going ok, thanks.

    • Brackets (free) and just design it as you code it. With CSS grid, things are easy these days.shapesalad
    • sketch on paper your wireframe layout. write html structure with empty div's to match your sketch. css it. make it dynamic. then add content. simplesshapesalad
    • you can so quickly change one line of css, and see it implemented across your page/site, and rapidly design, and once done, all the code is sorted too!shapesalad
