DesignZpresso is a design tool for Mac, Windows, Linux, ChromeOS and the Browser made in the spirit for Freehand and Fireworks. It is completely written in HTML5, Javascript and CSS3. DesignZpresso consists of the core engine called "Infinity", the actual Application and the core Module called "DesignZpresso".
