Atomic is a browser based design application allows graphic/UI designers to create work that can be viewed and manipulated from within the browser.
Designers can quickly share their ideas with a link and collaborators can give feedback right inside the product.

Wow, very interesting. The numbers tell the story of the browser use declining.
The great increase was social media; people still use the browser on a computer to access the social media site. They don't download a Facebook application to install on their computer-they use the browser.
But mobile-wise, that's a different beast. I still think we should create a site that is accessible to mobile devices rather than create an app. I think in the coming years, though, iOS/Android developers will probably be job positions here at UT.
Great post, thanks for sharing.
I take issue with focusing on the amount of time spent in apps vs. mobile web. If you look at the breakdown, 68% of app time is on pure entertainment activities like gaming, social media and YouTube. Which makes total sense that people spend a disproportionate amount of time on those things.
Plus that guy looks really annoying!
RE: Mason-Good points, Señor Mason. But using inflammatory titles gets people reading.
My next post will be "LIBRARIES ARE DEAD-EVERYTHING IS ON GOOGLE, ANYWAY".
This is a pretty neat browser for tablets. Lots of customization features and more intuitive than Safari. It's definitely worth a download.
They have a free version and a "Pro" $0.99 version. I've used the free version. The pay version has a few extra features that are really not necessary to use a browser; they're really "bloatware" features.
This is a Chrome extension that will resize your browser window to the break points in the code of the current site you are viewing. Those sites without breakpoints show a blank window in the extension.
Responsive Inspector is helpful to see all of the breakpoints a particular site uses. Some have several breakpoints, other sites have just a few. It's a good learning tool.
It's a wee bit buggy sometimes, but it's being updated regularly.
If this link does not work, just search for "Responsive Inspector" in the Chrome browser Extensions.
Chrome/Firefox/Safari/Opera: Want proof that HTML5 is the way of the future? Try Sketchpad, a surprisingly robust online painting app that doesn't require Flash, Shockwave, or any other plug-in—just a modern browser and your fingers.
This is an example of a beautifully designed, built and IA'd website. They intend for this website to be a "journey website" in which you spend time exploring the site.
The designer must be very happy becase his/her vision was allowed to be shown. The details of the website are too consistent to be a site designed by committee.
I'm not commenting on it's compliance or browser capabilities, just the design. Sigh.
