I am mystified. Probably something is not working correctly. The Pages show various previews. Clicking on them does not open that page in the right side (as I would expect). Its blank. I can create rectangles, lines, hotspots and move them around. Hotspots doesn't have any way to make them do anything that I can figure out. No ctrl-click, no options. Its just a blue square. I click on Layers. Lots of things here. The…

Hi, what version of Chrome are you using? We've has users experiencing similar issue on Chrome Dev/Canary which we're looking into, so you might want to try Chrome Stable.

The history scrubber (scroll back through time and see all the decision ideas that were tried out and abandoned) is genius.

I've had this idea for quite a while for git visualisation tool where you open a project and can open a file and scrub through the timeline and see the changes live. The fact that this idea is better suited inside an actual code editor (and not just a standalone app) and me not being brave enough to tackle writing a code editor is what is stopping me from doing it.

I'm using this with fugitive.vim all the time:

    :Glog     # this can take arguments to reduce scope
    :cnext    # repeat!
    :cprev    # step back!
bonus: unimpaired.vim binds those quickfix navigation commands to [q and ]q.

Hi, I think there's actually quite a lot of differences between Atomic and InVision, so I'll focus on what I think the main reasons are that you might try Atomic if you're already familiar with InVision... Atomic has drawing tools that let you actually design/layout interfaces in the app. You can also import flat images from other apps (like PS or Sketch) for prototyping if you want to. Atomic also lets you design co…

Looks nice. I'd also be curious to know the main differences between this and proto.io...

Lots of differences I think. Probably the main one is that Atomic's workspace will feel more familiar to those used to Adobe apps or Sketch. I think it'd be fair to say proto.io focusses more purely on prototyping, while Atomic tries to integrate design, prototyping, collaboration and version control tools.
