A $39 template? Went to the link hoping this would be a new cloud product made by Bohemian coding.

Me too. I wish Bohemian were more agressive with the use of the Sketch name if it were called "Design system for Sketch" no confusion would be possible. In the long run it will deserve the product and the community.

What do you think a template for professional design _should_ cost? How much time does this save people who actually do this work? I don't know. But the price here seems like an odd thing to latch onto. It probably doesn't cost enough to be interesting.

I'm excited about this (and all things Sketch-related), but I thought this was a product release from the makers of Sketch until I saw the disclaimer at the bottom.

$39 seems fair, though I'd rather see this as an open-source project that the community could contribute back to. According to the changelog, this is a v1 release and the website contains no statements about the $39 buying future updates for new features or updated versions of Sketch, which is disappointing.

Aside from a few screenshots, it would be nice to have a YouTube video demonstrating how it works in practice, in real-time, especially considering the terms stating: "As a customer you are responsible for understanding this upon purchasing any item from Sketch Design System".

I wouldn't buy it without more information, and knowing who is behind it. There's no "about" section on the website with a real person identified. The domain WHOIS data is a proxy service.

I'm not really sure what I'm looking at here (although I'm on mobile). How is this different to something like the clarity.design template?

Clarity is a framework that comes with components ect.. Sketch is a design tool to easily create a styleguide for devs in that organization to follow.

Am I missing something? I'd be interested in trying this out but I'm not going to make the plunge for a $39 Ux tool if I can't try it out. Is this just a demonstration of idea or a real product?

It's a premade template for sketch an app by bohemian coding. It's akin to a photoshop template, but a bit more dynamic by utilizing sketch symbols / nested symbols.
