Introducing Avocado: A new toolbox for interaction designers
- dlsx 12y agoAvacado? Seriously? FailFish
- vadvi 12y agoplease do not auto play the videos.
- psql 12y agoIt's nice to have a set of abstracted patches instead of having to build every goddamn thing from scratch.
- posttool 12y agoOh no! Not another VPL :-) I am looking forward to seeing interesting applications.
- lostInTheWoods3 12y agoAvocado ... Also called alligator pear. a large, usually pear-shaped fruit having green to blackish skin, a single large seed, and soft, light-green pulp, borne by the tropical American tree Persea americana and its variety P. adrymifolia, often eaten raw, especially in salads. What does this product have to do with Avocados? I know you had to call it something ... but why Avocado? Enough with the trendy product names!
- grinich 12y agoThere's a paragraph about this in the post. Did you read it?
- fiatpandas 12y agoAvocado the tool is like a real avocado because there's a rich buttery filling over a nut in the center. The nut in the center is Quartz. Quartz is tough nut to crack and so are avocado nuts. But what Avocado the tool does is add a nice buttery layer of patches (like the avocado soft filling) over the tough nut to bring out the goodness. Hence the name Avocado. It's really that simple
- livejamie 12y agoAnother design tool that ignores Windows users :(

- aenean 12y agoDoes Avocado play nicely with Origami? Am I correct in saying both act as QC plugins, adding patches and new default behaviors?
- lstamour 12y agoI see no reason why they're not compatible -- indeed the iPhone template employed comes from Origami.
- sampl 12y agoAccording to the readme, Avocado is built on top of Origami: https://github.com/ideo/avocado https://github.com/ideo/avocado
- mtriverio 12y agoAvocado is an extension to Origami so, yes, they play really nicely together.
- joeld42 12y agoWhy does everyone build these on top of Quartz Composer? It seems like there's a huge demand for a prototyping tool that supports animations.
- snegu 12y agoAxure is able to illustrate quite a few animations, although it could certainly stand to include more. I'm hoping they'll make this a priority in future releases.
- lstamour 12y agoI'm just hoping Apple offers up a new release of Quartz Composer which incorporates the Origami patches and fixes a few more bugs. Speeding up live renders would be a bonus, and I'd cry tears of joy if they figured out a way to openly release their internal Core Animation prototyping tools.
- redindian75 12y agoHere is an interesting prototyping app which does exactly that. Downloaded the beta and playing with it. http://www.mitya-app.com/ http://www.mitya-app.com/
