README Ð Team Covalence (Courtney, Ted, Logan, Emma)

Welcome to the Marvel prototype for our app, Covalence!

Marvel is a simple prototyping tool that links static screens together via user-indicated hotspots. If you click on a ÔhotspotÕ thatÕs part of our user flow, youÕll be automatically taken to the next screen. If you click somewhere else, the ÔhotspotsÕ will glow blue to give you a hint about where your next interaction could be. We chose to size our app for a landscape-style iPad, so youÕll either want to view our prototype on the web or on a tablet.

Covalence is a concept mapping tool, helping you link text, images, and other mediums together in an easy and intuitive way. Covalence also allows you to share maps with others and explore public maps on topics of your choice. 

By the nature of our app, the Marvel prototype we made is somewhat limited. There is a Ôsingle pathÕ available to create a concept map, rather than the free creation the app would ideally represent. Since Marvel cannot handle text or image inputs, we simulated the experience by automatically filling nodes with their appropriate types of content.

Happy exploring!
