My startup uses abstract and we have nothing but good things to say about them. At first we had issues with latency because we clumped our entire application design into one project. I reached out to support and they gave us detailed steps on how to break up our application design into different projects to increase speed. Support also showed us how to link libraries to projects(super easy) so that every new project has access to the same symbols. Keep up the good work abstract team!!!!!!

This is a new way to manage design work. I really appreciate their app pretty new and pretty awesome. Recommended for small and medium and larger design teams who are working with product apps.

Pros:

Easy to manage product design projects based on Git technology

Cons:

They need to grow faster.

Support Adobe files.

We are having a 8 person team on abstract working on big projects, and lately the abstract performance is so bad, I really don't know what to do but rant everywhere. We are working on very time sensitive project but syncing, opening file, even deleting branch is too slow that I we couldn't continue the work for day!!!!!! I love the idea of abstract, and I think this is the only right way to collaborate in a UI design team, but till you guys fix your issues, I can't recommend you guys to anyone, only can hold our pain of not being able to completely get rid of abstract while having to pay for it....

Unreliable! Our teams waste about 30% of time waiting for merges, or redoing work that was "saved" via the application. Not to mention that brand-new Macs have a performance/overheating issue. The worst of the worst!!

@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.

Startup - #13 Fake It Til You Make It

Before Abstract, a non-insignificant amount of our Design workflow was spent managing files. Right-click, duplicate, rename. The struggle is real, and every designer knows it well. It's a waste of time, void of context, and a disk-space vampire. Engineers solved this problem years ago with tools like Git and Subversion. It's time Designers had their own version-control renaissance. That time is now, and the team at Abstract is leading the charge. Abstract has freed us to focus on Design, not file management. We've been using Abstract at Mesosphere now for close to a year, and it has truly changed the way we work. Every project we work on goes through Abstract. Designers on the team make branches for working changes and new features. It's an excellent way to not only store our files, but keep everyone up-to-date with all work in progress. I don't know if we could ever go back to a world where our team was working in Google Drive or Dropbox.

Nice idea. But I didn't get how you guys merge different version from different files into one?

@tommoor Please explain in more details. How do deal with conflicts? Is there some visual way to resolve them? For example, Bob recolor some button to red and Mike recolored it to blue, what color will have the button after merge? And how do you identify objects/layers? By name? What if someone has renamed some layer and this name matched another layer with the same type? The layer names are not unique.
