UX Stack Guru

Hey Hackers ๐Ÿ‘‹

Me and my friend have just released our new product called UX Stack Guru. It's a product for Figma/FigJam that helps UX designers, product managers, designs teams in their daily work without needing to use different tools, paying for multiple subscriptions, remembering logins, or switching between tools back and forth as everything is packed in Figma.

What problem does it solve?

I've been working as a UX designer for 15 years. One of the biggest problems I have encountered in my career as a designer is the fact that I design UI in Figma, but the entire process of creating UX from flowcharts through research to creating user journey maps takes place in external tools such as Axure, Miro, Overflow, Whimsical, etc. Each of these products is a different login, additional, often not insignificant costs, and each of them has a different style, making it difficult for me as a designer to achieve consistency during the creation process. Additionally, some of these tools have no collaboration with other team members, making the entire process even more complicated.

I created UX Stack Guru because I wanted to focus on a consistent process where I have everything at hand and in one place without the need to switch to other products, remember logins, or that I have to pay for another month's subscription.

How it has started...

It's been a long journey that has already lasted 10 years! In 2013, I started working on the first flow chart kit. In 2015, I released my first product dedicated to Sketch, called UX Flow. In 2018, I released the improved UX Flow 2.0 for Sketch and Figma. Both products have already exceeded 1 million downloads... that's right, over 1 million downloads of a relatively small flow chart creation product and now I'm releasing version 3.0 of this product https://uxstackguru.gumroad.com/l/gRflm (it's FREE of charge).

However, my appetite was bigger, and I had an idea for a product that not only allows to transfer the UX process to Figma but also solves problems I mentioned above, which I myself struggled with as a UX designer.

and that's how UX Stack Guru was created.

With UX Stack Guru, UX designers and project teams can create flow charts (both for mobile and desktop applications, simple and more complex ones), user flows, site maps, user story maps, empathy maps, personas, user journey maps, SWOT analysis, card sorting, dot voting, design researches, design briefs, lotus diagrams, product canvases, feature planning, feedback grids, and more in Figma with specially created components and templates. And in the future, we plan to add more elements to make the entire creation process even more efficient and engage AI, so designers will be able to automate the entire process even more.

We've also released a dedicated plugin for Figma/FigJam https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1205653626312349596/UX-Stack-Guru

    Absolutely marvelous ! This is one of the best packaged up services I am seeing on IH. Love the post and the story share too. -- I am new to IH, so perhaps before my time there may of been others.

    Super excited !

    • Can I undertake the complete end to end process on an ipad or do I need my macbook? I am prefer touch when I am creating and being highly kinesthetic, love the sense-checking that naturally comes with touch.
    • I love the tool, principleformac.com to animate ideas quickly. Easiest way to communicate a new idea we have been hashing out. Do you utilise such animation tools / GIFs or is it all flat text?
    • I can't wait to experience it. Is there like a pilot project I can take a challenge on, and use the stack.. to get the experience?
    • Will you be offering a reverse-engineering service also? E.g. We pick an iphone/android app or website we love, upload all the pages, and we unpack it.. pull it a part and see the decisions that were made on the way. I often am using existing to say what I want or don't want. This is output --> input. Some of the best learnings is by unpacking versus creating (input --> output).
    • The other idea / need I had that no one seems to get is a UI kit for aggregator platform. There is nothing and the current aggregator platforms are awful UX. Dealroom.co is the best so far. Will you be adding a library to showcase your suggestion as the resident 'experts' ?? For example: what good looks like by online business type e.g. aggregator platform, marketplace store etc..
    • Will you be adding a what not to do when using no-code platforms. I am so bored by the stock website mass-producted by the non-code platforms that I am hoping some UX expert helps those indies out.

    fyi DEMO button middle screen broken.

    Oh ... please consider adding your product to IH. Much easier for us to see your timeline, growth path.. how you tracking. Good, bad and ugly. it is what we are here for -- to help, learn and build together.
