I was impressed enough to contact the developer -- the normal community tools I expect of an open source project were missing from the site. It's built on Mozilla, using the app-runtime XUL Runner and is a GPL project. Coming soon it seems to http://code.google.com/p/evoluspencil
I had an immediate need to do some site map / IA work and was willing to hack in JJG's visual vocabularly. No support for much other than some generic desktop UI for now. I started a port of the VisVocab to Mozilla SVG/XBL (a sort of "sprite" or UI ojbect in XUL) way back in '04 -- http://www.surfmind.com/musings/2004/03/11/. IMHO, the Firefox space has been ripe for a long time.. The newish Canvas tech is actually way over-rated, the compound DOM is much cooler (see a mix of SVG, XUL, & HTML visualizing mouse movement http://www.surfmind.com/masters/screens/the_making_of_a_visualization.html). I'd hope Pencil uses this type of approach rather than Canvas. Another new tool I haven't seen referenced here is the AdobeAIR app (commercial): http://www.balsamiq.com/products/mockups/desktop -- intentionally casual prototypes in "hand drawn style". -Andy, "Hacking Browsers Since 2001" http://surfmind.com ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
