       | high enough fidelity to infringe specific manufacturers' designs,
       | there is a broad fair use assumption, or it just hasn't been
       | tested in court?

         | can't - they need the device scenery to make it real to them.

         | Figma will fit the bill. You can find device mockups (free or
         | paid) but you will need to edit the template. It's easy to
         | share your mockup (with a URL) with colleagues or clients. They
         | can also add comments to the mockup.

       | I was really excited to share this with my creative (& art)

       | too frugal, so I sent the link onward anyway. Don't get me wrong,
       | I'm sure we'd be more than happy to pay for this. It's just that
       | my first, personal reaction is that the monthly pricing model
       | either feels too steep or is an awkward fit.
       | 
       | Why not pay per access or usage for each template with a slight
       | markup against competitors for ease of use? The tool seems great
       | but the current positioning made me want to immediately compare
       | it to Adobe CC or even Figma. Granted, I haven't really given it
       | a proper workout, but Adobe CC (pick your poison) and Figma both
       | have more features. Figma is even cheaper. CC is also entrenched
       | in everyone's budget, is only marginally more expensive, and has
       | well established marketplaces for similar templates.

         | Yeah, I would agree, Figma is a powerful tool. My team is all
         | developers my boss included (although he is moreso a manager
         | now than anything) and we were able to convey using Figma what
         | we were going to build to other teams so they can get a reality
         | check before we crack at code.
