Screensketcher under new management

Posted on February 25th, 2010 in Business, TwoDesk | 2 Comments »

A little while ago I launched a new product called “ScreenSketcher,” which was a tool for creating enlightened user interface mockups.

As of today, the ScreenSketcher product has been sold to Coding Robots. You can find their ScreenSketcher product page at http://www.screensketcher.com.

Coding Robots is already doing some great things with the product. They’ve fixed some bugs, enhanced the design elements and improved the usability of the program. I’m excited to see what they do going forward with what I started!

text will be surrounded with parenthesis.

* Smart Brackets: Highlight some text and press the ‘[‘ key, and the
text will be surrounded with brackets.

* Smart Braces: Highlight some text and press the ‘{‘ key, and the text
will be surrounded with braces.
