What is Crank Storyboard?
Crank Storyboard is GUI Design and Development software that enables engineers and designers to create optimized GUIs for embedded devices.
Crank Storyboard can be used to create touch screens for their smart kitchens, white goods, cars, and industrial devices. Its proprietary design and development platform encourages GUI designers and software engineers to work side-by-side for efficiency, yet independently so they can validate designs and performance earlier, handle iterations in design more easily, and get products to market faster.
All applications created in Storyboard are automatically optimized for performance on a range of platforms from resource-constrained microcontrollers to high-powered microprocessors, so a broader spectrum of devices can now have better designed GUIs, without draining resources to run them.
How does it work?
Storyboard does not generate source code to be compiled but instead generates a data model that is in turn executed by an engine that is specifically targeted for resource-constrained embedded systems.
Storyboard is specifically designed to be extensible and timeless. By not relying on a specific set of GUI widgets but instead leveraging standard file formats for graphics and fonts, Storyboard allows designers to craft GUIs using tools that they are most familiar with such as Photoshop, Sketch, and 3D modeling software. Later on, when the GUI needs a design update, the interface can be re-skinned with a new look without affecting the underlying logic of the system.
