About Atlas

Atlas is an editor that is still (October 17, 2011) available only in beta and by invitation only. It's a tool to help you build web applications in the Cappuccino framework. It is <strong>not</strong> a WYSIWYG editor the way you normally think of them. It's an application IDE that creates web (and desktop) applications. However, it looks like this application is not going to see the light of day, as nothing has changed since October 2010 or longer.

Target Market(s): Professional Web Developers
