How to create applications like Balsamiq Mockups


Which are the languages used for creating WireFraming/Mockups applications like Balsamiq Mockups? Mainly web application.

Do they use HTML5 Canvas API? or Flash/Flex?


Solution

  • An old question, but I'll give it a stab:

    Balsamiq has two versions: 'Desktop' and 'myBalsamiq', both of which run on the Adobe Flash platform. The Desktop version runs on Adobe Air Player, and myBalsamiq (web version) runs on the Adobe Flash Player in your web browser. Both of these versions are created using Flex.

    A screengrab of the Help|About from my Desktop version shows that it runs on Adobe Air Player.
