Lumzy Features
Lumzy is a quick Mockup creation and Prototyping tool for software designers and developers. As a Mockup tool, you can use it to create a rough sketch of how the final website or application will look like while prototyping extends this by adding event based functionalities. Listed below is a list more detailed features of Lumzy.
Quick Drag n' Drop with Keyboard Support.
This is an easy to use drag n' drop application. No extensive menus, just buttons! We have trimed down the number of steps you take to execute basic functions by doing away with regular "File >> New" ... menus and have made them all accessible right with one click.
Create your Mockups by simply dragging controls unto the canvas and off you go.
It also features full keyboard support. (Ctrl + X, C, V, P, L etc...) Align objects with single keyboard stroke; For example, select multiple controls on the canvas and hit "L" on your keyboard, and everything aligns to the Left; of course with an undo function.
Send on the Go.
To send Mockups to your clients, simply Click the Share button and provide the name and email; Click send and it's right in their box. You can optionally send Mockup Images or PDF files to your clients as email attachments or send a direct link to the Mockup which your client clicks to view. It's that simple, you don't need to download files and attach or send special file types prompting them to get a viewer.
Make it public...
With one click from the share tab, you can make your Mockup public and Post as a Tweet. Others can click on the link and view the creation, post comments on it and even add annotations or sketches right from the Lumzy player in the browser.
Participants.
You can add collaborators or participants to your Mockup by providing their name and email address. An email is sent to each one from our servers and once they click the provided link, they can edit the Mockup with full priviledges;
But what if they overwrite your work by making so much irrelevant changes? Don't worry. Edits are saved in a versioning format so as the creator, you can check the log and revert back to a prior version with date and change logs.
Collaborate and Chat.
With project participants, you can edit a project online realtime. When you drag a control, everyone connected sees the changes you just made realtime; delete a page and every participant sees it. This feature comes with a chat panel integrated into the same window; we believe in having an integrated environment rather than having to switch between a chat window and a development window. All these are integrated on a per-project basis.
Integrated discussion tool.
Send a link to your client or colleague and right off the browser, they can comment back on your creation, use Pen tools to draw on it or even add text based annotation to your work. This helps in the iterative process of application design between client and designer/developer. All these are intergrated with ease of use.
Generates Jpeg, PNG and PDF files.
You can generate your Multipaged mockup into a single PDF paged file (thanks to Thibault Imbert's AlivePDF) or into multiple image files.
Emulate in Multiple Skins.
Create your Mockup using either Handrawn theme, Windows Vista theme or Mac theme and switch between any even at runtime. Print in any of the themes. More themes are in development.
Intuitive drawing tools; Circle, Rectangle, Triangle, Line and Freehand tools
Not only can you drag and drop objects unto the stage, you can draw custom shapes and have them saved on your project. The line tool can also be used as a freehand tool, i.e with your table PC or sketch pads, you can draw on the canvas.
Supports vector printing on Printers.
Yes, you can print your mockups through your printer and get a fine vector print with clear details. Strokes as strokes and not rastered.
Integrated Image Editor.
Lumzy comes with an in-built image editor. You can edit your pictures by resizing them, applying filters like hue, saturation etc righ there in the app and have it loaded into your project as image or for a button Icon.
Mockup Versioning.
Your mockups are saved with your account id and can be accessed by you anywhere on the internet with a username and password. With Lumzy's versioning system, you can edit and save with peace of mind, beacuse you can call up prior versions right from when the project started and load it as the default. You can also delete versions as desired.
Intuitive Interface.
We are developers and we know how it feels having a good IDE, that's why we worked on that. Lumzy UI is just that right intuitive. Click on the Expand button and your canvas takes the whole screen;
You can change the application theme even while working on a project to a darker theme to let you see the project more with less light from the application UI.
Absolutely Free.
Yeah, you read it right. Lumzy is absolutely FREE.
