#3Isn't github's billion dollar valuation based on the premise that they can become the "social versioning / forking for everything". Better get moving quickly github, the competitors are coming.

#4Why not just link directly to the Pixelapse website? Does TechCrunch deserve to be a middle man for every startup?

#5How does this compare to Layervault?
LayerVault just has one plan: $24/user/month with unlimited storage and projects. Pixelapse seems more flexible with a free plan (1GB storage) and pay plans starting from $19/month (20GB) up to $149/month (100GB).
Not sure how they comparefeature or quality wise but Pixellapse's pricing plans might be serious trouble for LayerVault.

Why not indeed: https://www.pixelapse.com/ - especially since TechCrunch have a broken link, and pixelapse haven't thought to redirect it.

#7The largest plan has 9 collaborators, which seems rather prohibitive.
As a dev I often had to tweak my designer's assets. For example, fixing the 9-patching for Android or removing bad whitespace. Could I offer these changes in a pull request?

Just caught that - it should redirect now.

#9I'm curious to see how the whole 'forking/cloning' concept is replicated here, especially if Pixelapse is seeking to become the Github for design. I'm fairly certain that the restrictions for use of graphic content in a public format is a lot more prohibitive as opposed to software (there's not really such a thing as 'open-source graphics' besides measly clip art galleries).
The true social value of Github is in its community-oriented approach where any developer anywhere can fork code and contribute changes. That doesn't seem as possible with imagery, and my impression is that designers are more concerned with protecting their work (nothing wrong with that - just an observation).

Hi hannah, We'll work with you if you have larger needs. Please get in touch: hello@pixelapse.com
With regards to changes made to assets, they sync automatically between your machine and your designer's.
