Regardless of individual preferences on design tools, this is pretty awesome news for the greater design community!

• Will this Starter Plan always be free?... or is it a limited time only?
• When "export assets for production" are there any stipulations or limitations there? (i.e. if I'm remembering right, in the past "educational discounts" on other products couldn't be used for projects where the designer was charging a client)
• On that same note... can design teams / agencies use this Starter Plan to build projects for clients? (of course, knowing the shared prototype features are gone)

Thanks as always for doing these AMAs! :)

This idea seems really great, kudos!... and the supporting graphics alone are worth the visit.

Similar to Andrew's comment, but Apple's other recommendation... I grabbed the mophie wireless charging base. It sits below my monitor and more or less blends in with the black monitor base so you hardly notice it. I also liked how it was less slick/slippery than others... and feels a bit heavier/weighted.

Oh awesome!... now I have an idea / use case. :)

This is great!... looks like you're manually curating other videos more so than uploading your own right? In that case, I wish a YouTube account wasn't a requirement for RIVYT (but I may be wrong here).

You bet!... looks quite fantastic. I don't have a specific use case for it myself, but I always love a good "reason" to create one.

Certainly not a review by any means, but after watching the promo video and reading through this article, here are a few (likely obvious) thoughts of my own...

The world's most powerful screen design tool

Interesting to hear it this way... "screen design tool"... lends itself to future proofing I suppose, but I also feel like InVision is taking a page out of Apple's playbook here with the verbiage (oh, and the video too).

Learning Curve

Of course it remains to be seen what the learning curve is actually like, but it's interesting how the OP points out... "The purpose isn’t to relearn a new platform, but introduce a familiar environment that acts as the go-to for everything"... definitely a fear these days if the product feels too unfamiliar.

*Platform Collaboration is Available *

Your boss can finally, more easily tell you to "Make the logo bigger"... on a serious note, seems like a great way to get more folks involved as need be.

Open Developer Community

Will be interesting to see if/when this really takes off... Sketch has picked up great steam here as of late, hopefully those apps/integrations can be more or less ported over to Studio.

Studio to Webflow

This might just be me connecting the dots from other recent design news, but it seems as though there might be a natural transition from a product like Studio to Webflow (especially with their updated Interactions)

“Clark from Invision” is Real!

Lol...

It's more so an all-in-one (scheduling, budgeting, invoicing), but Cushion is pretty great.

What is Hang time?

Hang Time is a full-day inspiration fest for designers of all disciplines. Our first event will be held in Boston, MA on October 4th at the Aloft Seaport Boston and we hope you’ll join us.

Why should I attend?
