CLUSTER CONVERTS-DRAWN-HAND · 34 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-09-21

Sketch-to-UI mockup tools

This cluster consists of web apps that convert hand-drawn sketches into UI mockups, HTML, or working code for rapid prototyping. Dated entries before the index start are sparse: one in 2013, then a gap until 2020, followed by entries in 2024, 2025, and early 2026, suggesting recent interest. m3e-canvas leads traction with 8,185 stars, far ahead of excalideck (15 stars) and m3e-canvas-desktop (2 stars). Many members (14) have no source date.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 20 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
