    This is so badass! I love using pen & paper for mockups.

    FYI, I just shared your project on Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/printable-mockups

    I think the design community there will find it really useful!

    This is very well executed.

    One suggestion: maybe add an empty block for a placeholder to make space for notes.

    Is there such add-on for Inkscape?[0]

    On GitHub found only few Inkscape add-ons for creating interactive mockups.[1,2,3]

    One of those simple yet brilliant things I wonder why it hadn't been invented yet.

    Lovely work! Can we have arrows too please? So we can build the flow between screens into the document

    Seems like if this was to become a product/service you could offer a service like https://www.uistencils.com/ but with custom layouts.

    Very cool! Now I want one which is a full online version :)

    This could be useful.

    For all of the electronic communication in my company, once things get to a certain level of management, they want to see stuff on paper.

    This is really well done. And +1 for the suggestion of placeholder spaces for notes. Great work, thank you for sharing this.

    This is a great idea.

    You could probably turn this into a product if you were to print out notebooks where pages were the templates.

    This is fantastic! Very useful, especially for those of us who still think best with pen and paper.

    Cool, although I noticed the output PDF is fairly blurry. Can this be made crisper?

    Is it common to use jQuery with React? I'm relatively new to React.

    Love it. Working out UI issues analog like this really helps sometimes!
