Hey Chris! I love the idea and can't wait to try it out. How does it compare to Abstract? It certainly looks more lightweight!

@m_rlons Hey Marion. Awesome - we'd love your feedback on Trunk! Good question. Our take on version control is automating the version control process. As designers, we feel theres a lot going on already. That's why we automatically create the branches and have gone away from wording like 'merging' and 'pull requests'. Sure its important we have these concepts under the hood (which we do), but the feedback we've had so far from designers is that they enjoy our 'hands off approach' to helping the designers workflow.

This looks like a great way for design teams to work on designs. How does it sit on top of shared drives like dropbox and google drive?

@djinoz Hey DJ! Good question. We are treating those intergrations as custom enterprise solutions for now. With Trunk we host the files remotely. Everything is backed up to the cloud daily and encrypted. Happy to chat more on this!

Tried it for an hour and really like it. I have 2 questions. 1. My trouble is our current workflow. We use box.com for file saving and unless I save a desktop version of the sketch file Trunk won't recognize my changes. Is using something box.com and trunk possible in the near future? 2. If we change our workflow and save desktop versions of sketch files, will everyone need to constantly download and upload their sketch files? Thanks in advance, I've been waiting for this software for quite some time.

@perazamichael Hey Michael. Thanks for your comments. 1/ We've had a few people ask for Box integration and are looking at this as part of our enterprise solution. Be interested to understand more details on your workflow. Would it be possible to connect on email to discuss? 2/ Regarding the Sketch files - we've built Trunk in a way that the files will sit locally and only sync with the cloud when needed. This is to ensure that everything is in sync with your team. We've done some things to optimise the upload/download of files, so hopefully it should be a pretty smooth process for your team. Thanks again!

@elliottrisby Sure thing, you can email me at michaelp at copiousinc dot com However, for the sake others who share the same workflow and want to see the answer: We use box sync and work off of files in our box folders. To avoid sketch conflicts we work off one "master" sketch file and save a duplicated version with our name appended (terrible, I know). Then these named sketch files have the art boards copied to the master sketch file. As a small team, putting the box.com integration behind enterprise will lock us out of that functionality. Downloading and uploading sketch files sounds more tedious than what we are currently doing. While in theory, I can get my team to start downloading and uploading sketch files often (not too keen on it atm), paying for yet another service is a hard sell for me to get approved. Thoughts?

Super slick product that has quickly become the dashboard for every design file my company works on. Haven't heard a single person ask where the latest file was since we started with Trunk.

Pros:

Trunk has brought order to the chaos of my team's designs. really intuitive design. Great collision detection.

Cons:

More notifications on 'commits'.

I currently use Abstract (goabstract) but it doesn't allow my team members from having their own account and being able to download my changes without us having to pay for a pro account. Does you free platform allow you to share with at least one other user before locking out the feature? We're an early stage startup so we are trying to save as much money as we can before paying per user for a design platform. Also instead of per user pricing model, do you plan on having a group pricing where you pay an amount for the entire team.

Perfect timing! Will use immediately for our small but distributed app design team. Can you help me understand what is the difference between the free and pro plans. As well as what is meant by "private" and "public" projects. Here is an example... We have 4 people on the team (product mgr, creative director, ux designer, copywriter). I want all of us to view the change to the file, but only 2 of us will be making changes to the file; which plan would that be? Would that be considered a public or private project? Thanks soo much!

Hi @elliottrisby , we managed to download, signup and use the app despite the merging news with Invision. Will this be still functional?
