Jeremy Turner's Stuff

So while there are large parts of this I’d prefer to code by hand, there’s no pride or glory in tweaking number after number and reloading a page to make sure my drop shadow looks nice. Just as Photoshop wasn’t built to create box layouts, CSS wasn’t built to create visual effects in an immediate, intuitive - heck, visual way.

It would be nice if some tool helped out with that. It wouldn’t be “InDesign for CSS” any more than Illustrator is “SuperPaint for PostScript”. Maybe it wouldn’t generate fabulously semantic code - and wouldn’t need to. Maybe it wouldn’t help you build a webpage from scratch. But it could still be nice.

Neven Mrgan’s tumbl: A tool for CSS as a language of visual effects

 I was just thinking to myself on Saturday, “Nobody hand codes PostScript, why the heck do we still have to hand code CSS?”

21. morientibus said: Neven, have you looked into Dashcode? I’ve only recently begun poking around in it, but it appears as though it’s an attempt to build such a tool. While it reminds me of Dreamweaver in an unpleasant/proprietary way, it also reminds me of XCode & IB.
