Thanks @bentossell for hunting us!
My name is Josh Brewer CEO and co-founder at Abstract. We are happy to finally show the world what we’ve been working on.
Engineers have GitHub. Sales teams live in Salesforce. Even our friends in marketing have embraced Marketo as their home. What about us designers?
When you think about it, designers are a pretty flexible bunch. We're willing to do whatever it takes to bring great ideas to life. We have workarounds. Not workflows.
It’s clear that we need help managing the rest of our work. Team coordination, collaborating with stakeholders, and interpreting feedback are part of the design process. Designers have long wished for a system of record like what developers have come to rely upon with Github. We need a secure, reliable, stable place we can call home for our design work.
We’ve spent the last year designing and building Abstract. Welcome home.
We'll be here all day to answer any questions you might have, so ask away!
@jbrewer Thank you for the amazing work behind Abstract. I've been using for some time now (Private Alpha) and we love how easy is to keep track of our design updates.
@jbrewer - we've been on the Alpha for a short while at Typeform, and OMG, this is THE killer application for having your Designs as well organised and version controlled as your code. There is like no other application that is close. Not even a little bit close. You guys have nailed it. There is not enough superlatives to go around, it's simply da 💥
Abstract is without question the best way to manage design files. Full stop.
A saved and synced file this is not. It’s a whole new way to consider design files, how they evolve, and how other stakeholders interact with those files.
If you’re a designer looking for something more than just dumb files and destructive versioning, this is finally your day in the sun.
@imvasyl@kvnsmth I really want there to be some github'esque integration. Not sure how it would work though. Do viewers (developers) get the ability to download files?
@kenrossi we have some ideas around other integrations but nothing concrete to share yet. Definitely hit us up on feedback@goabstract.com with any ideas you have!
Viewers can both look at the files in Abstract (desktop and web) and open/download from desktop.
