Mozilla Prism, fast prototyping tool?
Yesterday I read about Mozilla Prism. I copy paste from TUAW: “The concept of a single-site browser or site-specific browser (SSB, either way) is simple: give me a window with one website in it, preferably a desktop application replacement like Gmail, RTM, Basecamp or Zoho, and let that window behave like a regular application with its own Dock icon, notifications, etc. If you’re spending a lot of your time on a particular site, this can simplify your life quite a bit”.
It’s really easy to set up. Install, create your application by setting up the website address and voilá, you have an application that opens a window with that website (and you can hide status bar, buttons and address bar).
It’s not really made for prototyping, but it can be very useful to fake mac or windows applications by creating a website with our OS look and put it in that simplified Firefox frame. It’d be quite easy to fool somebody and make them think the application is really coded. I’ll give it a try with the Ericsson project, hope it might be useful for some of you too.
