Version 0.66 currently. Use with caution, I've had nothing but headaches with this software

Pros:

Source Control for Sketch files, pretty novel

Cons:

Crashes constantly, confusing interface, TONS of bugs

Alexander Lozada

It's a great concept but the implementation is still lacking; resource usage is incredibly high, the application is frustratingly slow, and the amount of bugs encountered is in the tens per day.

Pros:

Very cool VCS for design tools

Cons:

only for sketch, INCREDIBLY resource intensive, very buggy

Abstract changed our design team organization at itsalive.io

Great job guys, keep the good work.

Pros:

Really impressive, fast and automated : a GIT for your sketch designs

Cons:

Buggy but improving quickly

@matpreau We have set up abstract for our design team. But, the support reponse is really slow. No answers, yet.

Haven't used it yet, but this is remarkably necessary!

When I was registering, the username field gives an example of "jane.doe", but when I try to have a ".", it gives me a warning says "only letters, numbers, and underscores allowed"......

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?
Tom Pryor
What should I say to get my design team to move away from Zeplin?
Jeremy Bauer
Any plans for supporting Adobe files (PS & AI)? I'd love to use Sketch, but my work has an enterprise Adobe license so I have to use PS and AI.

Have been using this throughout Alpha - such a solid project. Solving a problem EVERY designer faces. The support team has been so accommodating for all my questions / concerns. Definitely a product worth getting, no question!

Seriously, this is the best versioning and collaboration tool I've ever used. Well done!
