Hey everyone 👋 I’m Thibaud, Hexa’s cofounder. For those who don’t know Hexa, we’re a startup studio that’s built over 40 products, many of which have become great SaaS success stories like Aircall, Front, Spendesk. Every product that we ever built has followed the same process: it begins with creating low-fidelity wireframes, with the entire team. But the process of building low-fidelity wireframes is flawed. It begins with founders and product managers who create the first wireframes in one tool, then designers convert these into mock-ups in another tool, developers code the final product, and marketers introduce it to the market. This results in inefficiencies and silos and creates sub-par products. We are firm believers that it is by 👏 bringing the whole team👏 into the low-fidelity wireframing process that we can build game-changing products: more options are considered, iterations happen quickly, and you avoid becoming attached to any one style too early-on. It doesn’t only lead to better product discussions, it also leads to superior products. But we never found the right tool to do just that. Traditional wireframing tools were only adopted by founders & product managers, while designers stayed on Figma. So we decided to build Blocks 🤗 Blocks is a low-fidelity wireframing tool that happens right in Figma. With Blocks: 🟧 You’ll never ever have to switch from wireframing tools to design tools ever again 🟧 Your whole team will get to participate in the most crucial part of product building 🟧 You'll be able to wireframe any idea you've got on your mind with our library of best-in-class components 🟧 You'll wireframe much faster with drag-and-drop and endless customization 🟧 You'll have the best product conversations with all of your team - and build the best products! Great products are born on Blocks. Get started now: https://www.blocks.pm/

@tiboel I'm interested in why your SaaS product approach starts with wireframing...rather than with user/customer research into digital product usage behaviours?
Gerald Mamengko

@tiboel I'm curious. Can you answer his question?

A really great plugin that will save us a ton of time both when building and iterating on our wireframes. Congrats !
Sarah Barron
@etidar We coudln't have said so better ourselves! Thanks for your support 🤗

I love the "pluginified kit" approach you've taken to building Blocks. Product teams to often focus on the non-important details when starting on new flows/functionality/products. This was definitely missing in the Figma plugin ecosystem. Congratulations to team, hope you make it to the moon !
Thibaud Elziere
@florian_myter Our thoughts exactly. Thanks for the support 🙏

The ultimate components system I promised myself to do years ago… and obviously never did 😅 Blocks.pm looks so good, thanks @tiboel and team!
Sarah Barron
@tiboel @yannick_mthy Hope you enjoy the tool! Let us know if you have any feedback or questions. We'd be happy to answer them :)

Thanks for the library sharing. I've been using it for my last project and totally agree that low-fidelity wireframes is a must step to speed up product delivery.
Sarah Barron
@arthur_bonnecarrere We 1000% agree 🤗 Thanks Arthur!
Meghan Regior
@arthur_bonnecarrere Thanks Arthur 👀 Can't wait to see what you're working on !

Just dropped you guys an upvote because anything that streamlines collaboration is a winner in my book. I'm curious about how Blocks handles real-time collaboration. Can it really keep up when an entire team is working at once?

Congratulations on launching Blocks! As a Figma user, I’m always on the lookout for tools that enhance collaboration and streamline the design process. Blocks sound like a fantastic addition, especially for teams looking to create and iterate on low-fidelity wireframes right within Figma quickly. The component library feature seems particularly useful for speeding up the conceptual phase. Really excited to see how it can improve our workflow! Great work on this plugin.

A very very great tool to use, I just saw it on product hunt and tried it right away with my current UI design project. It was superb, It has a library of design assets such as, Icons , Emojis, Brand Logos and many more stuffs. It's more a UI kit library than a wireframe tool! Good product and good luck with the launch!!!!
Victor Gross
@ashley_notch thanks so much for the support Ashley ! It is indeed a kind of UI kit lib but available from powerful top-bar to avoid the back & forth on the left panel between frames & assets.
