Fun fact: Flinto for Mac is 100% written in Swift. We think it might be the biggest Swift app to date, since we started right when Swift became available and have been working on it nonstop until now.
I'm not sure why animations are considered prototyping. Following the lean process, you'll want to prototype/focus on your differentiation, and if animations are your differentiation, you probably won't last very long. That said, if you need to design animations / custom interactions -- why use a 3rd party tool that you, or a developer, are just going to have to redo in another app? Is this REALLY that much faster than Storyboard? Does it export to usable elements?
Maker
Sure, it's much faster! I call anything that's a representation of a finished product to be built, a prototype. The closer that prototype looks to the finished product, the better.
Oh wow, first and now Flinto, which looks maybe even easier. Looking forward to try it out!
Congratulations on the release !
Maker
thanks!
Are your prototypes build with native code? How does Flinto compare to Pixate?
Maker
Yes, the viewer app is all native. As for Pixate, you'll have to try them both and see what you think!
Where do you see Flinto better?
So the viewer app is all native what about the prototype itself is it also native i.e swift code/objective -c?
Maker
It's all swift, no web content. Not that I've got anything against web content. I just judge whether or not it looks right.
I've been using the web version of Flinto for the past year and love it! I can't wait to try Flinto for Mac. Looks like there is a ton more features in this native Mac version vs. the web version. I assume there is no way to transfer my subscription to purchase the native Mac version or maybe they work together?
Maker
Thanks, I hope you make something cool with it! Current subscribers don't need to buy the app, you can log in with your flinto.com account and continue to use it after the trial ends.
The transition designer looks much more intuitive than the timeline in . Pretty close to the ideal for a WYSIWYG prototyping tool. Great job Nathan.
Maker
Thanks Ben, glad you like it :)
The iOS viewer app is magical! Looking forward to prototyping with this.
Love the simplicity of the app. It's more powerful than their web editor! Congrats !
