Email received below:<p>It’s Jeremy, from Mockingbird. I am sorry to write this (and I realize that it might make some of you sad, too), but Mockingbird will be shutting down at the end of April 2023.<p>Aside from a few support emails and chat conversations between several of you, many might not have known that I took over Mockingbird from Saikat and Sheena in 2020. When I started running Mockingbird, I had grand plans of where I would take it. But 2020 ended up being a lot different than many of us expected, and I’ve never been able to switch to working on Mockingbird full-time as I’d hoped. It’s never made enough money for me to focus on it as a full-time business, and yet the resources (money and time) needed to support it keep growing well past what it earns and what I can provide. Also, for the best experience you deserve as a user of Mockingbird, it would be unfair to keep it limping along.<p>So, Mockingbird will be shutting down on April 30th, 2023.<p>If you have an active Mockingbird subscription, billing will cease on January 1st, 2023, and you will receive a prorated refund to your credit card soon after.<p>If you still had an active Mockingbird subscription on December 31st, 2022, you can continue to use Mockingbird to wrap up any on-going projects until April 30th, 2023. But we encourage you to export your projects and find an alternative product before then. You can export projects by following this help document: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gomockingbird.com&#x2F;help&#x2F;articles&#x2F;24&#x2F;how-do-i-export-my-project-pdf-or-images" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gomockingbird.com&#x2F;help&#x2F;articles&#x2F;24&#x2F;how-do-i-export-m...</a>.<p>Some simple alternatives, in a similar spirit to Mockingbird, are:<p>Excalidraw: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;excalidraw.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;excalidraw.com</a> TLDraw: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tldraw.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tldraw.com</a> If you need a more comprehensive mockup solution, you might want to check out the following:<p>FigJam: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.figma.com&#x2F;figjam&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.figma.com&#x2F;figjam&#x2F;</a> MockFlow: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mockflow.com&#x2F;design&#x2F;wireframepro&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mockflow.com&#x2F;design&#x2F;wireframepro&#x2F;</a> Moqups: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;moqups.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;moqups.com&#x2F;</a>
