    neat video, thanks for posting the link! I’ve been trying to increase the amount of sketching I do and this is certainly handy. Although, I think sketching on paper rather than on the computer is a better way to improve one’s skills, even though it is tedious. I love using Balsamiq Mockups, for example, but am seeing a marked improvement in my mockups after I started sketching stuff out on paper.

    Glad you like it Arvind. Sketching on paper is immediate with no obstructions, it’s much faster and thus works great for ideation and brainstorming as compared to using a prototyping tool for the same purpose.
