[Kimchi-devel] GUI Prototyping Tool

[Samuel Henrique De Oliveira Guimaraes]

Hi Atreye,

I haven't created any components for Wok and/or Kimchi on Evolus Pencil yet. What I meant is that we could draw our own templates and export them as Stencils / Templates like other frameworks have done: https://code.google.com/p/evoluspencil/downloads/list?q=label:Stencil
I used Pencil on a previous project that I've collaborated with and I know that you can draw any shape, group them, add "states" (like pressed, on mouse over, etc), save it in your library and then export it as stencils. This exported library can be versioned (I used SVN and merge tools with no issues at all) if other people want to add or edit components, the output is just basic PNG and SVG compressed in a zip file.

Regards,
Samuel

Hi Samuel,
Could you please share the components you have created. It will be helpful for us to create the UI mockups.

Thanks,
Atreyee
