Back when I did Mac OS 9 development, we used Metrowerks' PowerPlant framework. Constructor, their GUI editor, made laying out user interfaces a joy. It just worked.
When I came back to try iOS development, and saw the sad state of IB, I wondered how things had fallen so far.
Then I tried Android development. Hand rolled XML layout of UI? NOPE.
I too am surprised that no one has developed tools to just do this.
- beaconstudios 10y agoI'm working on a tool to do just this - makes frontend development straight-forward and visual. If you'd like, I can ping you an email when I have something to show - my email address is in my profile if you're interested :)
