Mockup look and feel - Napkin in Flex and generating prototypes from RB

[Andy Dent]

The original Napkin Look and Feel for prototyping UI's in Java with
Swing has been ported to Flex.

which of course makes it very easy to show someone a "paper
prototype" across the web.

What do people think about this kind of presentation for clients if
you're trying to emphasise the mockup nature, something which can get
lost in how "final" a screen-only mockup in RB looks?

Is this something you'd like to see as possible from RB, creating
your windows in RB as normal, save as XML and then get a Napkin-style
prototype in Flex?

Would you pay for it or rather see it as an open source product
(volunteers?) for what is essentially an XML translation task.

Makes me wish there was still the Architect theme from OS 8 / 9 days
It looked a lot like this

That can be a problem because people see the look and think "how hard
can it be to make it .... "
