Is it? Cheers [Peldi: in the web version you'll be able to click through mockups, but not export them to code] This is great, the only thing that would stop me from buying this right now is that I had assumed that the ability to export or at least click through to other mockups would be included in the online version of Balsamiq mockups which I am eagerly anticipating.

Is it?

Actually, it will be interesting to see how designer/developer will compare Balsamiq/Napkee with Adobe Catalyst. Personally, I think that Adobe and Microsoft are making a strategic mistake by not supporting Open Web technologies in their respective designer/developer tools. The good news is that it will take them a while before they change course, and this creates a nice market opportunity for new players. Best of luck to Napkee, and congrats to Balsamiq for the beginning of a promising market place. Very cool, Italians are taking on Adobe and Microsoft!

The power of this is on display with Napkee, which will have my $80 bucks in its pocket shortly. That being said... +1 for the integration, or the option thereof. Who would NOT want to turn a web mock up into wire framed HTML after they were done? [Peldi: thanks Johnny. Try out Napkee, I think you'll find that the integration with Mockups for Desktop is pretty tight for an external program. You just save your changes in Mockups, switch to Napkee and you won't even have to reload! As for who wouldn't want to generate HTML...a lot of people! Flex developers, Ruby on Rails developers, Desktop developers, mobile developers...lots and lots of people!] I understand/respect balsamiq is looking to be an open platform that others can extend.

However it would be superb if this project was simply integral part of Balsamiq Mockups. It would really give a boost to the whole effort! I'm sure it crossed your mind also! So, if you are counting votes you have mine! [Hello Dimitris, thanks for your feedback. I have no intention on integrating exporting capabilities in the application itself, as it would necessarily drive the price up a lot, plus it's a functionality that not everyone needs. Keeping it a separate product is IMHO the best option, both for the users and for our small company. Peldi] This is excellent!
