Adobe Edge Reflow

Just out, Adobe Edge Reflow.

My first thoughts: not ready for prime time, but gosh is it easy!

From Smashing Magazine:

In our own tests, the app certainly feels like a beta release, but it also shows surprisingly strong potential as a visual editor. As Web designers will already know, visual/WYSIWYG editors and the Web simply don’t mix. In other words, creating a site by dragging around elements has yet to equal the power of coding a site by hand. Reflow, however, isn’t actually setting out as a site builder. Thankfully.

Adobe product manager Jacob Surber tells us his goal with Reflow “is to help designers design within the constraints of the web to communicate their intent, but not to tell developers how to build the site.” Surber went on, detailing that what Reflow generates “is not production code.”

Reflow is a design tool, and it bridges the gap between raster image editors like Photoshop and bare code. It lets you design your site on a flexible grid, utilizing break points with CSS media queries. The results, however, are intended to be handed off to a developer (not to replace developers).

It doesn’t sound like we have a Freeway replacement here!
