At Long Last, Adobe Proto Lets You Share Your Work As Per Usual
August 14, 2012
Three months after debuting in the App Store, Adobe Proto has finally received its proto-update, that is to say, its first ever update.
Adobe Proto launched back in May together with Adobe Collage and, coincidentally, the first ever update to Adobe Photoshop Touch.
Adobe Proto is an iPad specialty app that allows for the creation of wireframes of websites and apps. Like other tablet-optimized apps from Adobe, it supports a good deal of simple touch gestures in carrying out its main functions, including wireframe layout sketching.
The first update to Adobe Proto brings the following functional enhancements:
The update also delivers better code generation, which is now ordered in accordance to the appearance in the page. Moreover, the update enables objects to snap to both CSS Column and Design Grid. In addition, all pinned objects now generate a separate common CSS file. But perhaps the most important features introduced by the update to the app may be the least technical. Many users have been lamenting the absence of a sharing option other than Adobe’s proprietary Creative Cloud. Now, the ability to email interactive wireframes as an html.zip attachment has been added to the app. What’s more, sharing of interactive wireframes via Dropbox and other supported apps is now order. The update is, of course, free for all existing users of the app. For new users, it’s included in the latest version of Adobe Proto, available in the App Store for $9.99.
