Full free mockup and product planning tool inside a browser extension
Jigsaw Mockups Extension
Intended to simplify the process of planning future iterations of already launched websites / web apps before designer handoff, Jigsaw loads on top of your web page so you can plan your next feature set with your wepage as the context, instead of an empty white page, staying focused on the areas that need to be changed and seeing how your planned interface upgrade looks and works in the context of the whole website.
Jigsaw is completely free and does not save any user data.
Sharing is done through anonymous tokens so you can still share with your team without team accounts and payments.
Jigsaw is still experimental and some bugs will happen :)
