Today we’re launching our open beta, so anyone can set up an account and start prototyping straight away.

Atomic makes it easy to share your designs and prototypes and gather feedback. From today you can also invite teammates into your projects to work together on the same set of designs, simultaneously.

If you don’t have an account already, you can grab a free account here: https://atomic.io

We’d love to hear what you think.

So I'm actually looking around for a similar product; what's the difference with Atomic and Invision? It kinda looks like Atomic is Invision Lite but then again Invision has probably been around a lot longer so maybe it's not a fair comparison.

It would be pretty cool if I could immediately jump in and try it out without setting up an account. I understand most places don't do that but it's kinda nice being able to try something before giving away your email address. In my opinion anyway.

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 complex and unique animated transitions, not just the standard ones on mobile.

Atomic has some other special features too: like being able to style elements with raw CSS, visually rewind through your history and make branches/variations from any point, and team collaboration that lets multiple team members work on the same set of designs, even simultaneously.

So lots of reasons to give it a try I think. I hope you give it a go and please do let us know what you think.

I logged in and got a "Browser not supported" message on my up-to-date version of Safari. What happened to the open web?

Hi, while we're in beta we've been keeping things to Chrome only, as it lets us progress the product faster at this early stage. We're also big believers in the open web and will be looking to offer wider browser support down the track, so stay tuned!

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