< Rebar Wireframe Editor >
Rebar is now open source!
Rebar is the next generation in wireframe editors for use specifically with the Fusebox Lifecycle Process.
A Rebar wireframe is a page-by-page, plain-text representation of what a finished application will do. Devoid of techno-babble such as UML, flowcharts, or data models, the wireframe is extremely fast to develop, is readable by everyone, and answers the oft-overlooked question of what the application needs to do.
Rebar works on both Solaris and Windows platforms, uses the FEX Integrated Error Handling core (but can be replaced with the "standard" Fusebox core and can be embedded in existing FB3 apps), and works for ColdFusion 5 and ColdFusion MX.
