Hi there! 👋🏻
I hope you all are having a lovely Tuesday. 🙂
I’m super excited to be writing today to introduce you all to Projector 📽, a real-time collaborative design platform built for visual storytelling. With Projector, you and your team can create videos, GIFs, social media graphics, presentations, PDFs, and more. And you can do it all with your favorite content catalogs at your fingertips: Unsplash, Giphy, Google Fonts, and the Noun Project.
We know the creative process can be messy and painstaking, and our team has worked hard to put together a set of flexible tools that lets you work the way you wanna work. Whether you’re putting together a social media campaign, a quick demo video, or a pitch deck, Projector’s creative tools have you covered. Sharing a portfolio or creative pitch and looking for feedback? Projector offers a published view to showcase your work and start a conversation with comments.
For the past few months, a small group of early adopters have been creating and sharing stories in Projector. We’ve seen amazing things made by the XOXO community, by people at companies like Airbnb and Invision, and by students at Northwestern, where we’re running a pilot program.
We want you to be part of that early community!
Starting today, we’re opening up sign ups to Projector for a limited time. No waitlist. Just immediate access to Projector. And you’ll also get a handful of invites you can share with friends and teammates in case they miss the open signup period. Here's the URL to sign up! https://projector.com/signup
We can’t wait for you to try Projector and let us know what you think. We’re excited to see what you’ll make! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!

I've been fortunate enough to get early access to Projector and I cannot say enough about how great the product is.
I'm definitely not a designer, but their tools make it really easy to create and present beautiful stories.
Excited to see the growth and what's next.

Congrats Projector team, really excited to see this up here. 👏🏽 The one thing that impressed me most about Projector was the small and thoughtful details that empower and gently educate people on what makes an engaging and effective story. The default ‘notes mode’ nudges users to take the time to craft a narrative, the smart styling between typographic elements encourages visual consistency in order to follow the narrative, and the integrated content libraries point to the value of including rich content. Beaut.
Looking forward to seeing Projector grow to even greater heights.

I was lucky enough to be a beta tester for this. It's awesome!
UI has a familiar feel, similar to Google Slides, but you can export the files into gifs or movie formats too. I was able to easily make some quick GIFs as well as export some stories to quick video files.
It's a great little tool for storytelling.

been using early versions of this product and two things stand out: first, features that "just work" like using media natively (resizes correctly), etc that old software built around text and a stock photo fail to do gracefully. Second, thinking about publishing as not just standard slides but slides plus instagram plus document embedding plus....

Excited for this product and its potential! Will definitely use it myself for a few upcoming projects for which I am creatively challenged.
Amazing product. This platform really gives anyone who does presentations a tremendous advantage. Thanks.
