LiveCode with Balsamiq?

[David Bovill]

Yes I looked at it. I don't have useful code. In the end I decided not to,
as it seemed more useful to create a similar effect within Livecode, than
to require people to use a paid for tool.

I would however be very interested in keeping in touch and perhaps
contributing to any such tool.
