How Blocky sits against the field.
Every tool below is good at something — some of them we’d recommend alongside Blocky. The honest question is which one owns the phase before design: the words, the boxes, and the sign-off.

“Why not just Figma or Miro?”
Because they’re canvases, not workflows. A Figma frame full of copy has no owner, no stage, no due date, and no way for a client to approve it that stands up three weeks later. Someone screenshots it, someone else pastes it into a doc, and the words fork.
Design tools are where the design phase should happen. The phase before it — deciding what the site says, page by page, section by section, and getting that signed off — deserves its own tool. When the words are approved in Blocky, Figma gets real content on day one and your designers stop being copy-paste machines.
