Well done - nicely executed.
Couple of minor suggestions:
Personally I'm not sure I'd use this often but I like the concept!
Yep across both and totally agree it is sad. LayerVault was awesome.
Hey Brian - you sure can. Message one of us when you sign into the Desktop app via Intercom and we will add this to your account.
Cheers!
First off. I think it's really cool what Abstract are doing. They are helping to educate designers on the need for better collaboration tools. I also think that a bit of competition is healthy :).
From day one we took a bit of a different approach where we automate the version control process by taking away the need to manually create, merge branches etc. It's based off our own experience from working in design teams and being in the industry way too long!
Practically, what this means is that when you start working on a file in Trunk we automatically branch your changes.
We felt that there's a lot going on in a designers workflow - so how do we go about helping them so they don't get bogged down in heavy Git concepts. It's a bit more of a hands off approach to handling the design workflow.
Also, I'm sure they are working on more file type support but right now Abstract only supports Sketch.
Cheers!
Thank you.. and we do!
We wrote a small how-to guide here: http://help.jointrunk.com/trunk-workflow/handle-merge-conflicts-in-trunk
That probably explains it best. Let me know though if you have question or thoughts on this approach though, it's something we are constantly improving!
Not sure how to respond to that one! Have you signed up and downloaded the Desktop app? It's a similar idea but a completely different way of solving design collaboration :)
Hey! That was Remi. He's awesome. https://dribbble.com/Remi_Jacquinot
Layer vault is awesome! Great the DN has kicked on :)
Hey Matt. Thanks!
On the diffs - I we wrote a couple of articles on this. It's a little light on content at the moment but will put a video up in the next couple of weeks.
Getting started with Trunk in under 3 minutes
