Ask IH: Which part of your design workflow eats the most time? Looking for insights

Hey Indie Hackers 👋

We've been exploring different design workflows while improving our own tool, Sketchflow, and one question keeps coming up: Which stage of the design → prototype cycle slowyou down the most?

Based on your experience, which one is the real time sink?

• Concepts & Wireframing

• Interactions & Prototyping

• Feedback Loops & Iteration

• Responsive Layouts

I'd also love to understand why that stage takes so long for you:

Is it tooling? Communication? Rework? Ambiguous requirements? Something else?

We're currently trying to solve some of the "design-to-prototype speed" pain points inside Sketchflow.ai (like generating multi-page flows quickly and reducing repetitive layout work).

Your real experiences and feedback will help us understand this space more deeply and spark new ideas on how we can improve this part of the workflow.

I’ll summarize the poll results and insights in a follow-up post, and hopefully feed them into our next iteration.

Looking forward to hearing your experiences! 👀💬
