###Frequently Asked Questions on Avocado

####What is Avocado? Why did you do it? Avocado is an interaction design toolbox. It enables designers to quickly create interactive prototypes—without the need to know coding. Have a look at this post.

####How do I get started with Quartz Composer and Avocado? Just have a look here.

####How is Avocado different from Origami? Avocado builds on top of Facebook’s Origami. Avocado literally includes Origami and adds a number of components (“patches”) that speed up the prototyping process. While Origami provides some much-needed low-level functionalities (for instance, a Color Transition, a Switch, and so on), Avocado provides ready-to-use interaction models and animations. One of the best example is Avocado’s Carousel—having a fully working carousel of images is as simple as drag-and-dropping the Carousel patch, connecting a number of images, and... that’s it!

####Is it possible to use Avocado with Origami? It is possible to use Avocado without Origami? When you install Avocado you are also installing the latest version of Origami. This means that Avocado and Origami are fully compatible. Also, given that Avocado relies on Origami, it is not possible to use Avocado without Origami.

####How do I test a prototype on a device? Download LiveView. To increase the framerate you can use this trick.

####This is all great, what about adding __________ in the future? We’re happy to hear Avocado is of use to you. If you have any thoughts or contributions for how we can continue to evolve this experiment, feel free to share your ideas here on GitHub​ or​ tweet to @AvocadoByIDEO.
