Briefs is a framework for packaging concept screens & control schemes that run live on the iPhone and iPod Touch. This allows you to experience the feel of your concept without the expense of development.
Each brief is simply a .plist that references images, in formats such as PNG,
GIF and JPEG. Since they are image based, it allows anything from scanned paper
sketches, to the full blown mockups you created in your favorite image editor. These briefs are loaded into the
Briefs application and can be run directly on the device. Briefs can be loaded manually onto
the device or pulled dynamically from a briefcast.
There are several creative uses for Briefs. Elevator pitches, notes, and interactive books can all take advantage of the technology in the framework. And using briefcasts, there is a simple avenue for distributing your content to other Briefs users.
Beta source code available today on Github.
