Alex Kukharenko - Issue #22

By Alex Kukharenko • Issue #22 • View online

Hi there!

Last week I finally tried InVision Studio! I was really curious 🤓 My findings:

It’s finally possible to make complex dynamic animation and UI in the same app.
It opens SKETCH files! Natively, but no symbols support yet.
Animation settings are similar to Principle/Flinto, which is good.
A work environment is pretty much the same with Sketch.
The main hotkeys are also migrated from Sketch.

However, a few key features are still missing (symbols, for example), I am pretty impressed and giving a chance to this new possible Sketch replacement.

Let me know in replies, if you think it makes sense to write an article regarding Sketch - Studio comparison. Studio - Framer comparison already exists.

Have a good reading.

Tools to use

Version Control System For Sketch

This is the first tool that I can recommend as versioning solution. 😄 Nor Abstract, Kaktus, Folio, Plant or … Github don’t have such simplicity & power. MacOS App works for both Sketch and Photoshop files. Unfortunately, the app costs 10$/month for additional collaborators, but a free account for single users exists.

Everyone at home kept watching Netflix using my profile. Messed up all my lists and history... so I renamed “Dad” to “Install Windows Updates Now.” Problem solved. https://t.co/33tpvghLCf
