History

This all started when I moved to a design-in-browser workflow over the winter.

Designing in the browser is a workflow pain, jumping back into photoshop & shiny up a design is a productivity killer. I try to work in code as long as possible and avoid PS. I originally started out with an HTML/CSS to PSD converter using the PS API, although I got pretty far I quickly discovered it was going to be too slow. Parse HTML and for everything element create relevant layers, PS could barely handle it much less perform effectively.

I had two options; 1. Reverse engineer a PSD format writer or 2. Start work on a app that could speak both graphics and HTML. The latter seemed like an easier task so here I am.

The Basics.
