Mockups

I found a really powerful open source mockup tool named Pencil. Per default it provides a huge amount of graphical elements. But for special requirements there are many packages available, too.

1. Download and install the software version 3.0.0-rc1: http://pencil.evolus.vn/Next.html
2. Open Pencil
3. For our mockups we are using Material design elements, that's why you have to install two UI element packages. In Pencil these packages are called stencils. To install both packages you have to right click on one of the blue stencil categories on the left and choose "Manage Collections". On the bottom of the appearing window click on "Install From Repository". Install the material icon and Android Lolipop stencil.
4. If you have already cloned our repository, there should be a .epz file in that directory. Open that file with pencil and have fun.

AngularJS 2
