Liso

Liso (pronounced "Lee's oh!") enables non-technical people to understand and test the web.

Why?

As Creative Technologist we love speaking to the people that use our products to get their feedback.
Often the people using our products are non-technical and thus showing them code is futile.
Non-technical people are not "stupid" (many of the "product owners" and "end users" we've worked with are insanely smart!),
they just don't have time to know everything (who does?!) and thus learning to code (in addition to their existing workload) is impractical.

So, we are on a mission to simplify web creativity for everyone!

Features

Plain English*

We want this to be as simple as possible, so we are building it from scratch to look/read like English (not code).

A simple example of submitting a contact form using Liso:

visit /contact
input #text  "I want to know more about Liso!"
input #email "[email protected]"
click #submit

That's it! it reads like english!

Q: What are the # (hash) simbols?
A: They are the id's of the form elements on the contact page.
