This sounds suspiciously like what we do with our custom rolled prototyping tools. Also, you left out the aesthetic aspect that such a product would need. I don't think enough people appreciate just how hard it is to create a tool hat does all that you want it to for the interactive side and can still draw sophisticated graphics like Photoshop, Illustrator or Fireworks. Once you toss in the need for the tool to handle HTML layout rules or custom layout rules... Well. It's quite hard product to build if the audience isn't large enough. If the product lacked the drawing tools, it would be mostly useless I think. And the rant from the kind of designer that started this thread, Jason Santa Maria, would find it useless as well. It's a touch nut to crack. > -- Andrei Herasimchuk Principal, Involution Studios innovating the digital world e.
