After some consideration I think this idea is good. At least it is a worth a 
discussion with the community. With this intention I prepared a blog post: 
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MrSd7nwm3PJfKg_DQ79Sbc4jlqWeX280U_yF81pvQiQ/edit?usp=sharing
(the text should be published finally, if we decide so, at the LibO design 
blog)

I'm sure there are some features that I missed. For instance there should be 
the feature of  helper grid lines. Doesn't work for me. And maybe we do not 
share the same view on requirements and exisiting functionality. So please add 
your comments and thoughts.

Hi,

Another feedback : do LO designers really use LibreOffice every day ?
I can tell you it really changes the way you consider software design,
specially when bugs/bad design prevent you from doing your paid work,
and your boss becomes angry...


Look at when one KDE dev (David Faure) just uses a software (Calligra
Stage, an Impress equiv) for few hours/minutes :

https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/calligra-devel/2015-October/015296.html

--> Design is : "help users do what they have to do"

So design without any user feed-back is "designers in their ivory tower".




So why not create mockups with LO Draw ?


Or at least with some standard tool like Inkscape ?
Note that KDE is creating a toolkit with Inkscape for their mobile version :
