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 one of those new product that changed the way we work from day one and we never looked back. Happy to see it available to everyone 👌🏼

goabstract is awesome. But these things would be great: - difference between old and new (like Github or Splitscreen) - activity stream in the app

I've only used it for a little while, but I like Abstract as a management system for polished assets and final designs. I haven't gotten used to using it for design files that are sketches or explorations. Curious to know if other Abstract adopters are going all-in?

@jringenberg all in for sure. The best part of the explorations side is doing it via branches so that you can explore, walk back the whole version history if you’re curious, and never worry about deleting old files in the “Archive” page of your Sketch doc, only to want to see them again later.

Haha, I love the animated gif on the footer. Is that free to use from somewhere or was it custom made?

@erickbarron86 custom, it took Tim 3 or 4 weeks of solid grafting to get that pixel perfect.

Congrats @jbrewer! I tried abstract for the first time today and it's amazing! Reading the comments here also feels like you guys are onto something great. Just a question if I was to seriously consider moving to abstract for my team. How does the file management work for non sketch files. Say prototype files like principle or origami. Do I still have to keep my Dropbox team account and use abstract only for sketch documents? How have others done this?

@mohamed1mran we don't have support for other file formats at this time. What file formats would be most important for you?
