I always felt they're working on something big, and here it is... I think they might win our hearts back..

I was lucky enough to be able to demo the product already, and there is definitely some potential. Some of the things that really impressed me were:

1. Speed - Project Comet is fast. No delay/lag with quickly zooming in and out at all.

2. Repeat Grid - I think they solved this problem quite nicely. It's like the content generator for Sketch but built in.

3. Prototyping - You are able to quickly switch to prototype mode, and see a preview really easily.

Hope it works on windows

Guys... this actually looks pretty good. Love the flexible design/prototype interfacing. I'm excited. Please don't let us down, Adobe!

The interface looks suspiciously similar to Sketch. Just saying.

Meh. An announcement about a product that is months away is unexciting at best. Sketch, Principle and InVision have nothing to worry about when it comes to Adobe.

Since 2014 I'm wondering if I should force myself to dive into the sketch universe while I'm using Adobe products only at work... and this just got me excited.

Looking forward to working closely with ‪#‎UI‬ and ‪#‎UX‬ communities on ‪#‎projectcomet‬ Let's build this tool, together! ‪

Thanks guys, really appreciate your feedback. We want to build a great tool for you, a tool for designers by designers. We are here for you and you can ping me on twitter (@tomkrcha). I am happy to discuss your workflows and how can we make Project Comet tailored for your needs as we have a great opportunity to tune many essentials you need every day. Let us know. We are listening...

This looks really cool, and I can't wait to try it but the part I'm mostly excited about is how positive & hopeful people are about this. Too often you open an Adobe thread, or just a thread about a new tool in general, and all you see is a sea of animosity.

It's nice to see the community unified in excitement! Don't let us down, Adobe ;)

I'm surprised at how good this looks. Will it challenge Sketch though? Really looks like it might.

Video from Adobe Max

1:13:30 — Photoshop

1:22:00 — Project Comet

Cute.

One question they haven't answered is what file format will Comet use? If it's a new proprietary format, and the app is indeed OSX only, this could create a whole range or problems.

For Sketch, this was such a problem that it ended up creating an entire market for apps like Zeplin or Avocode.

Looks incredibly slick, I'm looking forward to checking it out.

I get the feeling that Adobe are confusing the prototype and design phases though. When you're prototyping, final look and feel don't matter. In fact they get in the way.

The reason why tools such as Balsamiq are useful for prototyping is that they actively discourage the use of images, colors etc in the prototyping phase.

Still keen to kick the tires when it gets released though.

Looks promising. I hope they don't disappoint with the vector tools though, as Sketch has a really powerful set of features that I use often.

Also, I wonder how the layers work. I never saw a layer panel during any of the demos.

One more to the pile.

I just feel like I'm a scribe forced to re-write dozens of papyrus while Gutemberg just invented Printing. But "Coming early 2016"

Huge congrats to the project comet team! This is a rad effort that will please a lot of folks. And I'm glad to see the warm embrace so far -- there's a lot going on at Adobe in the UI/UX space. The Age of Darkness might be lifting. ;)

A merge between sketch & invision, probably the kind of tool we need now. But I fear the cloud subscribtion...

This looks surprisingly good. Excited to try it out!

Absolutely blew my mind! The grid tool is a God send. And the amount of things in the document (if you watched the MAX conference demo) is staggering.

I'm definitely going to give that preview a spin!

is it just me that feels that something is off in the video? why aren't they looking toward the camera? feels strange.

Reserve judgement until you need to use it for a real project. Adobe's CC is getting saturated with software that is done better by someone else, for cheaper.

When Muse was first announced there was such excitement. In truth none of us actually use it – those who do say that it doesn't produce good enough code.

With Comet the issue could be similar. Exciting at first, but sadly let down by implementation when producing actual work.

This is great. Now all I request is simply a one time price like Sketch. If they keep the subscription model (which I'm sure they will) I'll never make the jump....legally.

Looks great, but at the end of the day all this tools promise more than them really offer.

For some time now, the design process has become in a bored and stressed task. And the principal cause is because the computer software can't go hand in hand (velocity) with our mind. The excess clicks, the panels chaotic, the oversaturated options, all this and even more, makes that design already don't been fun and ludic.

I hope that "Comet" can change the panorama, but sincerly seems more of the same.

In all this years I've collected many ideas about how should be an ideal software design, and I hope some day find a time and the correct developer, to make it happen.

Dat moment when Adobe Comet doesn't have Zeplin Support. Oh well back to Sketch...

So it seems like we still care about Adobe. #adobestillrocks

Massively disappointing that they're focusing it only on being available on Mac and have no plans or schedule for a Windows version where after killing Fireworks and seeing Sketch take big chunks out of the Mac designer market Windows users are left somewhat in the dark here while the Mac market has another app.

I see too much hysterism around this, whether for bad or good. Let me help you guys calm down:

http://www.subtraction.com/2015/10/05/project-comet/

Its OS X native, and no one knows if there's gonna be a Windows release at this point. But I highly doubt it, given that they've built it from scratch and around the OSX engine.

Great..

Just wondering its all mobile UI focused? Can't we use this for building Websites (Responsive Websites) ?

The vectors pixels creating a stir in the market, but i see this as evolution of design tools. Sketch give good time to Adobe to come up 'something'. It will be interesting as designer rolling out design in their favourite tools and at the back burner the competing companies, keep scratching their hand to keep/win the customer base.

Please include some of this adaptive layout functionality… https://medium.com/bridge-collection/modern-design-tools-adaptive-layouts-e236070856e3

RIP Fireworks

Would love to test this out here at Microsoft

There are enough bugs still existing in Sketch to warrant something like this. Who knows, it could be really good?

Also it could be awful.

Another way to capture ppl to pay a monthly fee. Sketch, Framer, etc, they're going after you.

Adobe Comet, very exciting!

<3

Need Design to Developer tools.. Zeplin & Invision are doing it.

fyi, we will have a demo of Project Comet in the max keynote this morning. (Keynote starts at 9:30 AM PST, demo is about an hour or so in).

You can watch the stream at http://max.adobe.com

This is quite an unexpected and delightful surprise. Didn't know Adobe were cooking this up.

Looks very very promising, but we’ll have to be patient:

[…] as we lead up to a preview release in early 2016 […]

Looks very much like Sketch and Invision-like prototyping.

Sketch + Principle

Looks promising.

This looks pretty cool. I can't wait to actually give it a test drive.

Looks promising. Another tool at our dispense couldn't hurt. Lets hope for the best.

It looks pretty snappy in the video. I hope thats the case for the final release.

Bring it on.
