Hi all. I am curious the pulse and thoughts on how / where / and if we discuss or list interesting design tools that unfortunately 😿 are not Free / Open Source.

I was checking out one made by an acquaintance of mine called Subform… it’s a really slick + interesting UI / UX design tool aimed at making multiple resolution interfaces super easy and beautiful.

I see value in sharing tools like this, even if they are not Free / Open in that they are new paradigms of tools and interesting to consider as designers. Perhaps simple this thread is enough to keep track of such things?

Could work. Or maybe we should have a category called “Proprietary Tools” to keep it all in one neat little box, separate from the open source stuff. 🙂

I’d be happy to move my post about InVision into such a category: [InVision (invisionapp.com)](https://discourse.opensourcedesign.net/t/invision-invisionapp-com/189)
