Hey Product Hunt! We’re incredibly excited to take a massive step forward with XD with our May 2019 release. This release is jam-packed with new features that make XD the leading, all-in-one platform for experience design. Our product and engineering teams have been hard at work building new features, taking feedback from the community and customers, and imagining what's next for experience design. With this release, we’re helping you create and maintain design systems in XD, create reusable design elements with components and override specific instances, prototype using keyboards and gamepad devices (support for Xbox One and DualShock 4 controllers), design using text transformations, polygons, and guides, and much more! Download XD or update to the latest version to check out what’s new! You can also tune into Adobe Live to learn more: . We’re streaming from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM PDT Tuesday, May 14 through Thursday, May 16. You can also catch the replays at the link above. Were you hoping for something that didn’t make it into this release? Submit or upvote a feature request for XD on UserVoice: We can't wait to see what you create!
You guys are doing an awesome job. I'm loving the speed you're deploying the updates. Design Systems is a great addition. Can't wait for more Hand-off features like Inspect.
You guys should make this available without invitations (for example, someone puts a document freely available for anyone and the users can add it to their "shared with you section" and receive updates). This would be super useful. Imagine material design system available and updated over time.

Thanks for your kind words, Jesus! In the meantime, you can check out some of our plugins and integrations that help with handoff:

thanks for the feedback. The best place for requests like this is to open a discussion - . Our Product Management team shapes a LOT of our product roadmap based on feedback like yours.
Finally! We can have symbols (components) linked with different sizes. I'll make the switch to Adobe XD from Sketch with my eyes closed. It's super fast compared to Sketch, the UI is more intuitive (it's much easier and faster to navigate through it) and it has the features and plugins I need, some of them are amazing: built-in 'Repeat Grid' —a killer feature—, built-in recording for prototype preview, etc. Oh did I mention it's free? You only pay for cloud features. I'll never pay for sketch again. The only thing I'd like to see improved is the layer view, which is.. weird. Keep on the good work guys!

Thanks for the feedback, !
Great to see XD improve at such a speed. What makes it „collaborative design tool“ in your opinion? I dont see any Figma-like features (yet).
the introduction of shared assets is a first step in the direction of a collaborative tool, you can work on a shared design system file that contains all the components, get updates on those sort of like in Figma. It's not real-time collaboration, but it's a start!

great question. I think "collaboration" is a very loaded term and does not always = live co-editing. I'd say XD is a collaborative tool because it enables multiple designers and/or stakeholders to work together. Some of the collaborative features in XD include sharing for review, sharing for development, the ability to share cloud documents, and (as it pertains to Design Systems), the ability for a designer to override properties on component instances. To that end, we do have live co-editing on the roadmap.
Is it official from Adobe?

Similar keyboards to Adobe Apps Can open Photoshop and Illustrator files

Pros:

Extremely fast Plays extremely well with Adobe Suite Opens sketch files Auto-Animate for rapid prototyping of microinteractions

Cons:

Not Color Managed No Rulers Can't rearrange workspace

New updates are amazing! The new Components one is great. For the next updates, I'd love to see: - "Hover" triggers to simulate mouse hover effects - Animation timeline.

stay tuned 👀
Will there be a new Product Hunt post for every monthly Adobe XD update?
Maker
while we do release monthly, we usually only post on Product Hunt for major updates.

We have had issues with Adobe cloud and shared libraries. Heck, the team building XD use dropbox to sync there files instead of CC

Pros:

Fast and snappy

Cons:

Adobe cloud has been unreliable. Creative cloud updates fail, needing to reinstall the app or creative cloud itself.

Please tell me rulers & guides are now available. lol
