Hello Product Hunters! 👋

We updated Startup to version 5! It's a huge update that comes with new designs and features. Our goal, at Designmodo, is to make Startup the must have tool for web designers, developers, and business owners.

Always welcome to a new version, but this seems a step back. The components don't have the same variety or polish as Start-up 4. Not a big fan of the illustrations and the font choices in the Presets are not at a good standard. There doesn't seem to be as much components either. eg SU4 had 22 Headers and SU5 has 10. I've been using SU for 3 years, but I think I'll stick to V4 for now.

I think a valuable direction Designmodo could take would be to offer a wireframe preset for rapid UX work.

Good luck!
