I heard about this, but haven;t really looked into it. It looks like a really basic version of flash to me. Does it spit out decent code?

Tempted to blow the 29 bucks to scope it out.

Just so people know what you are talking about here is the link. Hype (http://tumultco.com/hype/)

I looked at all the demos and the sample "sites". It looks intriguing, I haven't used it yet but the samples they provided I found to be less than inspired and it kind of turned me off of spending the money to try it out. I decided I would wait to see how it matures first. But it does seem promising.

I'm not reading much good about it. I was curious if anyone had tried it.

What are you reading? Is it regarding the code it produces, the UI, ease of use etc? Just curious about what are the criticisms that you have read.

Links? I would like to see what kind of code it outputs personally. I haven't tried it and not likely to, but it's always good to have something new to complain about! :)

well this is why I posted the thread. I wondered if anyone tried it themselves.

A major update to Hype (http://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/hype/id436931759?mt=12) released today.

I pounded Hype for the better part of two days. It's a nice start, but has a long long way to go before it's actually of much use for webdev of anything even coming close to Flash assets.

They should not be charging people for this app, no way. Not with it's very basic usefulness and feature set.

I'll be keeping my eye on it though, as it would be nice to have something that produces Flash like content as easy and robust as Flash itself.

And just to clarify, I don't think it's a bad app, just very early on in it's development.

Adobe is previewing Edge right now.. I'm wondering if the Authoring Studio is similar to flash....
