Storyboard is an embedded GUI development framework designed to streamline the creation of sophisticated, high-performance user interfaces for devices ranging from microcontrollers (MCUs to microprocessors (MPUs. By facilitating seamless collaboration between designers and developers, Storyboard enables the rapid development of intuitive and visually appealing interfaces without compromising performance. Key Features and Functionality: - Design Importation: Directly import graphics from popular design tools like Figma, Photoshop, and Sketch, preserving layers and names to maintain design integrity. - Animation Creation: Easily add dynamic animations using built-in tools such as the Animation Timeline and Animation Record features. - Iterative Development: Manage design iterations efficiently with the Compare & Merge tool, allowing for parallel workflows without disrupting existing code. - Testing and Validation: Utilize the Storyboard Simulator and Validator to test and validate UI functionality, ensuring optimal performance across various hardware platforms. - Hardware Flexibility: Deploy applications across a wide range of hardware and operating systems, thanks to Storyboard's hardware-agnostic architecture. Primary Value and Problem Solving: Storyboard addresses the challenges of embedded GUI development by offering a design-centric approach that bridges the gap between designers and developers. Its intuitive interface and powerful tools reduce development time, lower costs, and enhance the overall user experience. By enabling rapid prototyping, seamless design iterations, and efficient deployment across diverse hardware platforms, Storyboard empowers teams to deliver exceptional user interfaces that meet modern consumer expectations.

Storyboard makes developing feature rich UIs easy

I'm not a developer and have limited coding experience, but I've been able to prototype and deploy a relatively complex UI with Storyboard. The platform is intuitive and user friendly. It's also feature rich, which gives you the best of both worlds. We're planning on leveraging Crank's development services to build our final UI, but it's really nice to prototype and get up and running quickly on our own. We like Storyboard's cross-platform capabilities. Our first UI iteration is running on a Raspberry PI and we plan on migrating to a custom control board with a MPU in the near future. The team at Crank have been very helpful and responsive throughout.
