A zillion years ago I had a housemate who was a brilliant programmer and could smoke himself into the Zone like nobody's business, and one of his weird little side ventures was a Mac app to cut up Illustrator files and lay them out in HTML using tables, because that was the state of the art.
As best I can recall, he wrote it in CodeWarrior over a couple weeks together with another guy who presumably knew Illustrator, and Adobe bought it before they had to deal with anything like a business plan.
- cbozeman 6y ago> he wrote it in CodeWarrior Wow, that's a name I haven't heard in 20+ years. We used CodeWarrior Pro for my Pascal class at a local community college that I took during high school, because my high school was so small, I literally ran out of classes to take by senior year, so I had to take a programming course at a CC that was 10 miles away. Had to get a waiver to leave school before noon to go to the class because state policy was that students can't be released from school before noon, and because all my classes (all 3 of them) were over by 11:30.
- imposterr 6y agoWas it possibly integrated into Adobe ImageReady [0]? It had a feature like what you're describing where after you finished designing your website, you could define cutouts and export as images+HTML. This is actually how I first got into programming when I was younger. I made my first site in ImageReady, but it couldn't do all the other cool stuff other sites did like comment sections and logging in, so I went on a quest to learn how to do all that and the rest is history :) [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_ImageReady https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_ImageReady Edit: actually, I found an example from 13 years ago https://youtu.be/qCq0JiwMcJs https://youtu.be/qCq0JiwMcJs
