Show HN: Jigsaw Composer – mockup environment in a chrome extension http://ift.tt/2nVYpOA

Show HN: Jigsaw Composer – mockup environment in a chrome extension Hey internet people, over the last few months I've been working on a project that's been nagging at my brain and I'd like to share the results with you and hopefully get your thoughts. A few years ago I had a theory that we could avoid unnecessary redesigns & improve the quality of dynamic interfaces with a tool that can plan - create mockups/prototypes - on top of existing sites. Now, a very early prototype of this tool exists, a chrome extension tentatively called "Jigsaw Composer", with Jigsaw we can: - Manipulate any site component - Add & manipulate external components & icons from popular libraries (bootsrap/material/semantic ui) - Add & manipulate html components from other websites - Add & manipulate images uploaded from a pc or other sites Manipulate = everything you'd expect from a mock-up tool The extension is chrome storage based (no data gathering from me) & free http://ift.tt/2HdxANN hope to hear your thoughts and feelings :) February 13, 2018 at 03:54PM

Google loosens grip on Android One partners in attempt to revitalize the program

Bloomberg Android One never really got anywhere, but Google isn’t giving up. Since its launch back at Google I/O 2014 , the low-cost Android One initiative was never the saving grace we had all once hoped it would be. The program promised solid Android-powered hardware, timely software updates straight from Google, a simple and easy to use software experience, and even more ways to save on high data costs . As it turns out, not many people were interested in these One devices, as the lower-cost competition began heating up in these countries, often offering users better devices for the money. Now that it’s been awhile since we’ve seen any new Android One hardware, what’s next for the program? According to  The Wall Street Journal , Google is taking another crack at it. Sourcing “people familiar with the matter”, this new report claims that Google plans to relax its rules and give Android One partners more options when it comes to choosing features and price. Google is being ...

A Google Engineer is reviewing all USB Type-C chargers on Amazon to inform customers which ones are safe for use on their devices

The USB Type-C take over has already started, and as this year comes to an end, we expect to see a few more smartphones and tablets hit the market bundling compatibility for the third-generation connection. As it stands, handsets that currently feature Type-C ports only ship with a single cable and that annoyingly doesn’t support computer connectivity, so if users want to transfer files to their devices, they have to purchase an additional wire or adapter. However, these accessories aren’t cheap, so customers veer towards the more affordable, third-party cables readily available on marketplaces, such as Amazon and eBay, but that’s not a good thing. Many consumers have reported that these chargers have caused harm to their handsets, so Google Engineer Benson Leung has taken it upon himself to purchase a selection of Type-C connectors from Amazon to test and see if they meet the standard specifications for use on his Nexus device. So far, Leung has been through seven cables and clai...
