I have a little side project doing a web based mockup tool, I love this idea but its so hard to get right.
The problem is for layouts to work dynamically, there is no way round the fact they have to be backed by "proper" code, which means restrictive WYSIWYG tooling, at which point you arent really going through a creative mockup process, you are going through the production process.
I would love for my tool to be able to do reactive mockups, but I just dont think its possible to do while still allowing complete freedom during the creative process, and so for now I think its best to be doing mockups at 2 maybe 3 sizes in a static mockup tool, then jumping into code.
