We are very excited here at Proto.io to announce our latest major release Proto.io 4! We consider Proto.io 4 a breakthrough, not because of its abundance of new features but for the new UI that will allow users to prototype faster and better than ever. Revamping the editor UI to focus on usability and user experience was a long standing goal for us, one we have been working on for some time now. We realize that we have ‘sacrificed’ the priority of features that could precede this release. However, with the totally revamped user interface of Proto.io 4 we will be able to deliver new features and functionality faster than ever, and that’s what we are most excited about! In other words, you should expect many amazing things to happen really soon!
For now, here is a list of some of the things introduced in Proto.io 4:
Editor
