Edge Reflow vs Axure for Rapid Prototyping?

We are looking for the best solution for rapid prototyping from wireframe stage, ability to incorporate a solid base of interactions, and of course ability to be responsive. It also needs to be something easily sharable for the ability to quickly UAT designs at all stages of UI development. So far Axure has owned this market, with an extensive functionality capability. We have been demo'ing Edge Reflow CC for a couple months now, and have definitely felt some pain points in the swiftness of creating layouts, as well as limits in functions that can be emulated. We have been through the Lynda tutorials, and I think, if we're going to invest in Edge Reflow, I think we need a more advanced dive into complex functionalities within Reflow. Is this type of training material available somewhere? Is there material on how complex Reflow can get?
Many Thanks for your attention!

i'm also interesting about this question: axure vs reflow for wireframing, mockup and prototyping.
some people use reflow + brackets pluging....

  • Inconsistent font style behavior on Edge Reflow CC (Preview) for Windows

    Adobe Edge Reflow CC Preview for Windows has wildly inconsistent behavior regarding font styles. Why is there no button for bold in the UI? Why do I have to type "bold" into the Weighting dialog text box to have my styled text render as such in Chrome? Why does text inside a box/div styled with the italics button render in Reflow but not in Chrome?

    Hey there,
    The font weight can be changed here:
    With CSS there are both text values such as "bold" and numerical values from 100-900 usually. We gave you the ability to use either.
    If you are seeing issues with a font rendering set to italic in Reflow and not in previewing properly in Chrome, can you let me know the typeface you are using? I'd like to check it out as well.

  • Edge Reflow plug-in for Windows Photoshop CC not installing

    I have the latest windows Photoshop CC and Edge Reflow CC versions running but when I try and install the PSD plug-in, I get a dialogue box that says Photoshop CC is not installed...any suggestions?

    If you installed Reflow after you installed photoshop you might have the plugin installed already. The Reflow installer will automatically install the plugin for photoshop, but only if Photoshop is already installed. The stand alone plugin installer is for the case where you installed Reflow first and Photoshop later or if there was a problem and you just needed to reinstall the plugin.
    You can look at this post to see if you have the plugin installed or if the steps there help you: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1292363
    If you figure out what it is, can you post back here. We're looking into making the PS experience better. You can also reply to this post with your experience if you want: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1392173
    Hope that helps and thanks for using Reflow!

  • Screen resolution to set up photoshop file for edge reflow

    hi :
    i'm learning responsive design along with edge reflow. I'm designing a web site that works responsively for all devices. I'm starting with a psd layout.  I set up my photoshop at of 960x1136 currently. 
    my edge reflow breaking point for mobile is 768px currently. Perhaps i should modify my psd file to 768 width as well. but before i do that i have the following problem to resolve. When i view this on my iphone thru edge inpect. it's displaying a width of prob. 320 viewport width. which makes all the fonts and images look too big and of course the layouts are in disarray b/c there isn't a corresponding layout for that view port size.
    i understand the difference btw viewport size and screen size. But   I'm confused re: the size to set up my photoshop file.
    should i have set up my photoshop file based on "viewport " size rather than screen density?? (ie. 320x480 viewport for the smaller iphone rather than 640x960 which is the actual screen pixels) and create high res images separately for retina displays??
    what i'd like to have is to have corresponding font sizes and box sizes btw the edge flow file and photoshop psd. so if pick 1.5 em font  in edge reflow, the same font in photoshop file is also 1.5 em. and perhaps saving images as smart object so the images can have higher resolution?
    please advice.
    thx
    grace

    Maybe I'm wrong, but the best option would be to work with percentages, not pixels.
    You can see examples in this Adobe links:
    CSS Percentage vs. Pixels - Re: How can convert the em,px,pt and % in css - CSS Width percentage layout issues - Re: DW CC Fluid grid layout how to change px width for desktop layout
    I hope it has been helpful

  • Will Edge Reflow be included with Photography subscription?

    I currently subscribed to Creative Cloud for photographers. I have been using Photoshop for some web design and started using Edge Reflow. However my concern is that once Edge Reflow is released it will not be available for me to use. I have no intention of upgrading my subscription and I don't want to waste time with a program I won't be able to use long term.
    What plans will include the final version of Edge Reflow?

    Thanks for all the great feedback!
    You can delete breakpoint today. You can click the breakpoint pinhead so it's highlighted in blue and hit the delete key or push the "-" (normally the "+" when no breakpoint is selected).
    Also, if you long-click (click and hold) the "+" button to get the breakpoint panel, when you mouse over a region you can click the "x" to delete it:
    If there is another feature with delete or I don't understand the request please let me know. We use this and the other suggestions to help prioritize what we work on.
    Thanks for the feedback and thanks for using Reflow!

  • Edge Reflow as a prototyping tool

    Hi everybody,
    I'm working on the wirefames of a website that has to be responsive.
    I wanted my client to be able to navigate these wireframes on a mobile or a tablet.
    So I give a try to software like Justinmind Prototyper or Axure.
    I'm not using them for long but I'm finding they are big piece of software!
    I'm thinking Edge Reflow would be the better choice not only for designing but also for prototyping if it would include a way to simulate dropdown menu (for desktop website) or slidepanel menu (for mobile website).
    Wait and see, may be it is planned for next version.
    Best regards
    Simon

    Hi LARV
    Edge Animate just publishes the usual HTML/JS/CSS stuff.No dependency with drupal.

  • Is it planned to add feature for creating tables and lists in Adobe Edge Reflow?

    First of all, thank you very much guys for all your work!
    In my opinion Adobe Edge Reflow is missing quite important features, like creating tables and lists. For me it's a reason why I can't switch to Reflow. Any plans for implementing these? Is there any place where I can see the list of planned feature implementation? Didn't find it.

    Missing tables is a big one for me too, especially when doing data-grids. My last prototype was using multiple responsive data-grids where I used the simpler essential/optional hide column approach, instead of stacking or scrolling the data. I had used Reflow in the past for basic content prototypes... but had to do this one by hand... took longer. Using divs for this did not collapse properly in all the browsers, plus the back-end team use widgets that only generate tables. Here is the example:

  • I can't download the Adobe Edge Reflow. The file's downloading is successfull but the file doesn't go to my Creative Cloud so I can't install the programme. I have already install the Photoshop CC and the Reflow Plug-in for Photoshop. May I ask help? :) T

    I can't download the Adobe Edge Reflow. The file's downloading is successfull but the file doesn't go to my Creative Cloud so I can't install the programme. I have already install the Photoshop CC and the Reflow Plug-in for Photoshop.

    Hello
    1. I am running on Windows 8.1
    2. When running the installer file from https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/reflow I get the following choice
    I click "OK" which doesn't do anything for me (CC is off).
    I turn CC on and run the installer again. I get the following window that within few settings disappears:
    Then - just for half a second it says "Launching Creative Cloud desktop" and then it brings CC to front, and that's all.
    RF still not there.
    3. I spoke ta support agent on the Adobe chat on Friday. He looked into my computer for an hour. Uninstalled After Effects (after failing to update it). For some reason all apps disappeared from the list. They then reappeared after he opened PS.
    This morning After Effects is still showing up in my system and is operational.
    Weird.
    4. At the end the agent suggested maybe Firewall is the problem here. Trying that out now.

  • Edge reflow kind of interface for dreamweaver

    R we ever going to see adobe edge reflow or adobe muse kind of interface in dreamweaver?  Dreamweaver still by n large very code oriented.  When we r going to see more user friendly,  graphical interface similar to reflow or muse?

    Hi
    I have to agree html and css are not coding languages. As html is exactly what its name says, 'hyper-text-mark-up-language', and css is a style language, (which is not just for html).
    As for javascript not being a coding language, back in the 1990's I may have agreed, but now it is recognised and used as a real coding language, and if you are using a computer, (which you obviously are) then quite a large amount of the code used to create the programs you are using is written in javascript. Lets also not forget that many of the interface elements you use in these programs are created using html.
    You mention that you cannot set break-points or use other de-bug features for javascript in Dw. Have you checked out the latest version, (or even looked at the new features?) as de-bug is now possible.
    As for me I do not consider Ruby-on-Rails, or Python real programming languages, but then again I started coding in machine code and assembly language back in the 60's, and I can still remember attempts by software developers to try and create a visual software development tool that created interface elements, styled them and built the programming code necessary via a visual interface. None of those software developers are still in existence, and all agreed that to create such a program that did everything necessary, and just as important correctly for the professional user, was simply not realistic.
    I agree times change, and many Dw users want a more designer centric UI without the necessity to code, ( or use mark-up and styling correctly). But the limitations imposed by such a program would make Dw a tool for amateurs at best, or limit what is possible to such a degree that most professionals would stop using it.

  • Lost my Edge Reflow file when exporting for code editor

    Hello,
    I just finished my project and exported the code. The code look nice, but I wanted to change something back in the Edge Reflow file and when I opened the file all I could see was a blank screen, no pages, no information, no nothing. The only thing I saw was that on the Asset Library all of the pictures I used were there, and an error on the 'talk to the team' button: Failed to load URL file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/Adobe/Adobe%20Edge%20Reflow%20CC%20Preview/www/reflow/ src/modules/extensionbar/view/templates/olark.html with error (-3)
    Could somebody tell me what to do at this point?
    Thanks in advance!
    Marcela

    I managed to figure this out through laborious guess and check. Just thought I would share the bug in case anyone else ever runs into it.
    A third party library I was using wrote try catch statements wrong:
    try{
    catch(Error:*){
    No idea why the original author did it like this, probably meant to write "error:*" and didn't release shift fast enough after the "(" but as you might suspect "Error" is a reserved object name to cannot be declared as a paramenter variable
    when replaced with:
    try{
    catch(error:Error){
    the memory access bug went away. What is strange is that the incorrect try/catch statement works just fine when published to swf, air, or android and is only an issue with the iOS converter, and obviously produces a very cryptic error.
    I was using CS5.5 so maybe this has been fixed (if not I would suggest making this a compile time error) but just thought I would post my findings.

  • Copying/Duplicating elements is very slow in Edge Reflow

    Hi,
    When copying/duplicating elements in Edge Reflow that have quite a few nested areas it becomes very slow (sometimes taking 5-10 minutes!) I've tried it on a few machines in case it was a hardware issue but it seems sluggish on everything I try. Does anyone else have this issue and is it a software bug?
    Cheers,
    Rob.

    Hi Vic,
    Thanks for your response.
    Copying and pasting a single div is fine but as soon as there are multiple nested divs it rapidly becomes very slow to copy and paste (especially if there is quite a lot on the page). Quite often we are finding that we are having to force quit Reflow because it just hangs for 10 minutes or more. Areas such as headers that are quite complex and have a lot of nested divs we are therefore forced to manually copy bit by bit.
    Many thanks,
    Rob.

  • Suggestion: Adding a "Pages Panel" in Edge Reflow, similar to Adobe Fireworks

    Hello Adobe Team:
    I realize ER is mostly to set up fluid layout prototypes, which so far I'm loving this software.  Especially the feature of your align panel. 
    But, I have a suggestion that I would love to see implemented in the near future. 
    Allowing for more than one File to be opened in ER
    Adding a "Pages Panel" similar to the Fireworks pages panel

    Thanks for the suggestion!  I filed a Feature Request in our public github at: https://github.com/edge-reflow/issues/issues/38
    If you have a free github account, feel free to add additional feature requests there.  Posting them here is fine, too!

  • How do you use edge web font in Edge Reflow?

    By default, I don't have a lot of fonts. It's just viewing a few of them.
    How can you get the web font for Edge Reflow? Can you use font from fontbook?
    Is there a way to download Edge Web Font?

    Above: using Brandon Grotesque (web use font) does not display the correct font.
    I'm using Typekit and have an internet connection. If I switch to a "desktop use" font, it shows up, so I'm guessing the "web use" only fonts won't show in Reflow. A little frustrating when you're trying to get an accurate preview/determine best font styling because of the back-and-forth workflow.
    Above: using Source Sans Pro (desktop use font) does display the correct font.
