THIS is why Techcrunch is annoying. How many "in-browser" and "responsive" mock-up tools have already been launched? Jetstrap comes to mind immediately, and I recall seeing several others.

I appreciate them covering tech companies for less technical audiences, but it just seems like they follow a few certain VCs around, rather than looking at the technology that is worth GETTING VC funding.

Hi! I would like to clarify what we are actually doing with FROONT – we aren't another bootstrap editor at all. We are aiming to give designers more freedom and control over design process so they can work faster and communicate with developers better building designs that can be tested on real devices right away. We don't want to automate design, rather automate repetitive parts in coding.

I don't think this is a mock-up tool. If I'm not mistaken, this is a design tool that produces production-ready HTML.

"Froont is the fastest solution for designers who want to prototype responsive websites with their true content."

>at the bottom. It's for "prototypes."

During the process of developing the tool, it has evolved from a prototyping tool into a design tool. Unfortunate delay in updating the definition on CrunchBase.

Design is iterative by its nature – therefore FROONT can be used for prototypes and for designs, that depends of the stage and complexity of design. IT can be wireframing, designing responsive patterns or design with real content.
