You planning to do app for iPad Pro ?:)
Matthew O'Connor, over 5 years ago
hhhnnnggg, I may have to drop all my tools for inVision.

Played around with this on the iPad Pro / Pencil / Macbook / Duet Display App.
It felt nice, like doing wireframes on a whiteboard! Can't wait to see a native app.

Oooohhh... James I totally have Duet on my iPad here and I never even thought to try it like that. Brilliant. Going to do so now!

I used it on the iPad Pro with Apple Pencil but without palm detection it was painful, at best.
Hey DN - excited to let you know we’re introducing a new content type inside of InVision today alongside Prototypes and Boards; we call them Freehands.
The Freehand format was introduced via Craft a few months back and we've been blown away A) by how quickly it has been adopted into design workflows and B) by how many unique scenarios the tool provides value in. Here’s a few fun ways we’ve been seeing it used today:
Wireframing - Internally we’re using it for ALL of our wireframing these days. Shape detection is the killer feature here enabling you to create perfect lines, rectangles, and ovals simply by holding the 'option' key while marking. Its crazy quick, meaningfully constrained, and 100% collaborative.
Design Feedback - Check out Dann Petty's excellent use case as he reviews the equally excellent Grabient on his show from this week!
Team Standups & Critiques - Many teams are using the Craft Freehand plugin to quickly drop in their Sketch or Photoshop art boards for quick design crits with stakeholders (bonus tip: this means your devs won't need to have Sketch/PS installed to collaborate!).
Redlining & Annotation - Jon Moore expounds on how Freehand has completely changed his redlining process when working with his team.
Digital Sketching - We’ve even seen some great digital sketches popping up including this amazing one by Jason Roache.
It’s live on all InVision accounts today. Check out the use cases above, give it a go here, and let us know what you think. :)
