It's nice to have a set of abstracted patches instead of having to build every goddamn thing from scratch.
Why does everyone build these on top of Quartz Composer? It seems like there's a huge demand for a prototyping tool that supports animations.
Axure is able to illustrate quite a few animations, although it could certainly stand to include more. I'm hoping they'll make this a priority in future releases.
I'm just hoping Apple offers up a new release of Quartz Composer which incorporates the Origami patches and fixes a few more bugs. Speeding up live renders would be a bonus, and I'd cry tears of joy if they figured out a way to openly release their internal Core Animation prototyping tools.
Here is an interesting prototyping app which does exactly that. Downloaded the beta and playing with it.

Oh no! Not another VPL :-) I am looking forward to seeing interesting applications.
Avocado is an extension to Origami so, yes, they play really nicely together.
please do not auto play the videos.
Another design tool that ignores Windows users :(
At least you have Pro/E and Spotfire to keep you entertained :)
Don't worry. Apple ignores Quartz users too. :D
Probably not the best interaction I could have experienced: http://imgur.com/IlZD2sB (using iCabMobile on iOS7/iPad 2).
The server was temporarily having issues, it should all be fixed now!
Avocado ... Also called alligator pear. a large, usually pear-shaped fruit having green to blackish skin, a single large seed, and soft, light-green pulp, borne by the tropical American tree Persea americana and its variety P. adrymifolia, often eaten raw, especially in salads.
What does this product have to do with Avocados? I know you had to call it something ... but why Avocado? Enough with the trendy product names!
There's a paragraph about this in the post. Did you read it?
Avocado the tool is like a real avocado because there's a rich buttery filling over a nut in the center. The nut in the center is Quartz. Quartz is tough nut to crack and so are avocado nuts. But what Avocado the tool does is add a nice buttery layer of patches (like the avocado soft filling) over the tough nut to bring out the goodness. Hence the name Avocado. It's really that simple
