#2This tool, quite seriously, has changed our business. V2 is off the hizzle.
Re: Red Pen v2 with live collaboration
#3Hi HN. I'm Matt, the co-founder of Red Pen. I'm a designer who turned developer because I wanted to make Red Pen.
This is our big v2. Cool things you could try: the front page has an onboarding bot that simulates using the product; commenting on designs use Pusher and stream live; and I like to think I made it pretty damn fast.
Appreciate the feedback! (eh eh)

#4I really like the improvements. V1 was very useable, and really the only thing lacking was a "professional" introduction page. And you even added versioning, too!
Also, congratulations on finding a business model! I like how you're charging for active projects, and allow past ones to be archived and revived. Strikes me as pretty ethical.

#5Unrelated to my other positive comments...
I think the "show hidden comments" needs a bit of tweaking. I came across a case where it didn't really need expanding. Bit of a pet peeve of mine.

Yeah, we designed the pricing model based on what we would actually use as designers. I've always been able to spot arbitrary obstructions products throw up on purpose— and it never felt right.

But it saved you 10px of precious reading space!
But, yes, valid feedback. It should be smarter.

#8This looks really really good! I don't see a use for it right now so I'm going to wait until I start a new collaborative project so as not to waste the 30 days evaluation.
But one thing is I might forget about it when I'll need it. Just a wish but you should do some sort of 5 free projects for students like github does.

Email matt@redpen.io and I will personally remind you in two weeks :D
Education discounts is something we've thought about. You've up-voted that thought for us.

#10I started using Red Pen when I was working with Katie (who is a rocking designer) at one of my previous jobs. I've then taken Red Pen and used it at a bunch of other places now.
I've always ended up with bunches of printed mockups with annotations on them which are hard to version and end up piling up on my desk. Red Pen means that I can work with anyone to get a design just right.
