Introducing Prototypes for Mac

 

If you design, code or have ideas for iPhone or iPod touch, you may be interested to hear about a brand new Mac application I worked on: Prototypes. Sexy icon by Wolfgang Bartelme btw :)

Prototypes is a Mac desktop app that Duncan Wilcox built (with some help from me) to allow you to quickly take your existing mockup images (made with Photoshop, Illustrator, a crayon etc!), and link them together to create a navigable mini-site that runs on iPhone.

Some nice writeups already: 

No Code, No Problem. Prototypes Turns Ideas Into Working Apps. (gigaom.com)

Point your phone to ptyp.es and use the PIN 1234 5678 to see an example of what it can do.

Please do let me know what you think — it's definitely a 1.0 with lots of room for improvements and new features. Some of those planned are…

  • Support for landscape
  • iPad resolution support

Oh, and you can buy it from the Mac App Store:
