Taking wireframe to the edge – Launching Justinmind Prototyper 3.0 Beta

Posted in Wireframe on January 15th, 2010 by admin – 2 Comments

Forget about hand-drawn mockup and clickable wireframes. Justinmind is launching the next generation of wireframing and prototyping tool: Justinmind Protyper 3.0 Beta. From fully functional dynamic websites to mobile applications or mailing softwares (even Flash-like games), Justinmind Prototyper allows you to create almost anything in record time and without a single line of coding. With many drag & drop functions (i.e import for Illustrator/photoshop), the prototyper is incredibly easy to use and so powerful it´s virtually impossible to distinguish the real thing from the prototype (for there is none, except the auto-generated HTML code behind it). With functions like database simulations or rich interactions, many widgets and templates (i.e mobile platforms), interactive creations are limitless.

Serious about getting as much feedback as possible, Justinmind is launching several testing contests both on Windows and Mac, giving away free licences of its software as prizes. Check out conditions here:

Here are some of Justinmind Prototyper 3.0 Beta key features:

Real-time simulation

Create and test your dynamic application in real-time without any code generation

No need to export, just press “simulate” and experience your program or website instantly

Rich Interactions

Extensive JavaScript Libraries for rich interactions, events and animations

User-friendly interface

Create fully functional prototypes with simple drag-and-drop

Drag and drop image files from the file system to the prototyper

Drag and drop images and text straight from the internet and other applications (Illustrator, Photoshop…)

Create sophisticated conditions without any coding

Information Architecture

Functional scenarios with automatic validation

Define and simulate your application’s control flow

Data behaviour simulation

Requirements and comments
