Architect

A new way to handle iOS UI appearance & layouts.

Proposal

To eliminate the gulf between Design and Implementation a way is needed for Designers to quickly mock-up a UI and see it in action without having to resort to Third-Party Apps.

What better way than to have the designers see it in action on the App itself?

Why not have the whole App's UI represented in stylesheets such as

AViewClass  { 
  track-tint-color blue
  fill-color #CCDE73
  track-radius 40
  thumb-insets 2, 4, 2, 4
}

aView {
  size "200 200"
  arch_top "anotherView bottom 20"
}

Libraries

Architect uses the following libraries:

• Masonry
• Classy
• Underscore.m

Features Currently Working

TODO

Architect is still quite a way away from any sort of stable release.

• Finalize constraint rules
• Add support for more types of layout constraints
• Documentation
