This is a fine idea. I would expand it a bit more to include native UI controls. I wish Apple would figure out a way to allow on the fly code changes without having to push an update. THAT would be nice.

Hey Thanks for your comment,

If you have a look a the code, there is a whitelist of controls that you can allow to be edited.

This is just the start really, I think being able to change images/CALayers etc can be added in quite easily.

I watched the video and still have no real idea what this is or indeed what it is meant to achieve.

Some written information, even just a general background would be useful.

Hi,

I live and work in the UK, my designer friend lives on the other side of the world.

Whenever he has a new design for an app I'm making, he sends me the PSD files, I cut them up, export the images, add them into the app, compile and send him a new version of the app. Rinse & Repeat.

This is a crazy way of working. By allowing my designer friend to login to itheme.com, he can create different layouts of my app and test them in realtime.

I can then look at, and try out the different themes.

Thanks

Chris

He says it in the end. It helps people edit iPhone apps collaboratively from a website.
