IBM Open Sources Maqetta; WYSIWYG HTML5 UI authoring
- Hipchan 16y agoThis looks really really bad. I don't understand why a company that size would not have a designer on board.
- jcapote 16y agoNot to mention it barely even works
- andre 16y ago"The Maqetta application is currently at preview level. By engaging with the community with Maqetta at an early stage, IBM hopes to collaborate both on product requirements and on open source development, with the goal that future releases of Maqetta will deliver strong tools for UI design and an efficient workflow between UI design and production development."
- teyc 16y agoCompare this to Atlas http://www.2sidesdesignstudio.com/2009/11/atlas-overview-xcode-for-building-web-apps/ http://www.2sidesdesignstudio.com/2009/11/atlas-overview-xco... Maqetta needs to do some design upfront if they are going to garner any excitement.
- warmfuzzykitten 16y agoI couldn't tell it worked at all. Dragging and dropping objects from the palette had no effect, nor can you draw them on if selected. You might think you need a "pane" but those don't work, either. This was in Chrome. A friend had the same result in firefox. I can't even get maquetta.org to open in IE9, but that may be stupid McAfee Web Gateway/Barrier. Why on earth would they "preview" an app that doesn't work at all?
- cubicle67 16y agoI could create a new page, but that was it. most of the icon images are missing and nothing seems to work. what a mess
- phrotoma 16y agoWorked for me, win 7, chrome 10, java 1.6. Looks useful, I'll be watching their progress.
