🤯 Design Feedback & Validation SUCKS (and why)!

Hi all,

Working with designs and clients and feedback day-long, I still haven't found THE tool that will keep all the feedback and states in one location. Right now, my process sucks :

  • InDesign is OK, but sometimes buggy, and doesn't allow me to clearly see what's been approved or not and doesn't offer versioning on the board view.
  • Dropbox doesn't offer notifications, contextualized comments etc
  • Frame.io is designed for videos

What I'd LOVE to have:

  • Simple drag & drop of my designs into a project
  • Easy drag & drop versioning (I have a new version, I can simply drop my file onto the thumbnail)
  • Comments with context (location on the design)
  • Email notifications whenever I make changes
  • Client comments and simple button to validate / reject design
  • Quickly see all the designs by status (pending validation / validated / rejected).
  • Easily upload a new version of the design and send it back to validation.
  • Have a space for general questions that are not specific to one design but related to the project, with the status (answered, waiting answer).

Kinda like Dropbox meets Frame.io meets Invision 🤘

Just wondering if I'm alone in my despair and if anyone out there would also be interested or knows something that ticks the boxes?

Hit me 👍

    Thanks! Not exactly what I'm looking for, see I don't need a space to collaborate between dev and UI but more something to centralize communications with people who are giving validations on a design and make it extremely easy on them (like clients, your boss, the art director etc). I don't want my client to create a login on Zeplin for instance. I want to share them access to a validation board, with say a password.

    For something immediate, you might want to give https://zeplin.io/ a try

    This is exactly why we're making UXZen, https://www.indiehackers.com/post/making-of-a-new-app-design-tool-69a05d0bbb

    Except, we think the whole design tool itself needs a paradigm shift from a primarily illustration tool to a full-fledged app-aware design tool.
