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.

It's not just about the technology, it's about the support you get to integrate the technology...

Crank Storyboard was created by designer's for developers! At some stage in your UI Delivery Pipeline the non-technical design team is going to engage directly with the technical development team. Crank is the abstraction layer that facilitates that engagement and brings feature rich UI's as only imaged by designers to the embedded platform as only realised by developers. From 1+ year experience as a software developer embedded into a design team, designers can create world class UI's in their designtools of choice ( photoshop, sketch, etc ) and then import directly into Crank. The designers then hand this Crank Project ( which now exists as a collection of imported UI Screens ) to the User Experience (UX) and Interaction team which bring the UI to life by binding interactive events (click, swipe, animations, etc ) to the screens. This is achieved entirely thought the Crank Storyboard interface without needing a single line of code. The UX Team then hand this over to me, the software developer, which maps those click and swipe events to Storyboard IO Messages which get sent to the product. The deployment to Embedded Target is one of the easiest I've expereienced in my 10+ years as embedded software developer. The support from Crank in scoping, troubleshooting and integrating their product is second to none.
