Hi,
You've obviously put a lot of work into this, but what's the advantage of using your lean designs web site builder over Boks (a free Adobe Air App grid builder) for Blueprint CSS?
Also I like that you've left your jMockups code in as the high-fidelity mock-up builder, but it might confuse new users who aren't familiar with the history behind jMockups.
Hope this helps!
- matt1 15y agoHey -- I agree that the whole jMockups & Lean Designs app in one is confusing. Without spinning Lean Designs off into its own app, supporting the high fidelity mockups (though not marketing it) seemed like the best option for now. I haven't tried out Boks, but it may be a viable alternative to this. Long term you'll be able to design an entire site with Lean Designs, which I don't think any other tool does well right now. On that note, are there any features that Boks doesn't support that you'd like to see with Lean Designs?
- jefflinwood 15y agoBoks gets you to the same point as Lean Designs - a grid-based layout you can customize. I run into problems taking the layout from Boks and making it not look flat - rounding corners, adding shading, using good fonts, picking colors that go well together - all the little tricks that make a well-designed page look good. What if you integrated with Adobe Kuler or a similar color-picking tool to generate a CSS file?
- mgkimsal 15y agoFWIW, Boks doesn't seem to come with any templates at all - I think that's a real value-add with leandesigns.
