    Yo - are any of you using XD these days after they've added new features and such?

    I had a meeting with an XD rep last week to give us a tour and talk about our design team's workflows and such. I hadn't paid much attention to it in a couple years, and I'm impressed at how it has evolved. Getting off Sketch and into the CC ecosystem for all our design work would create a lot of efficiencies, particularly using Libraries. Right now with Sketch, all our ui kits, style guides, etc. have to be created again if it's a Sketch project. We do as much print work as digital; to have one source of a brand's styles, fonts, imagery, etc. would be huge for us and save so much time.

    I've been excited to check it out and transition a project over from Sketch. As long as XD provides a suitable level of tools, sharing capabilities, dev inspect mode, and other useful features, I'm excited to see what we can gain with it.

    • I moved our team to XD 3 years ago and haven't looked back. We now how a solid workflow built around its shared libraries and reusable components.aliastime
    • Wow, good to know! I might hit you up with some questions. I warned our Adobe rep that they're going to get a lot of "but in Sketch I can" questions from me :Dmg33
    • "We do as much print work as digital" .... sounds like XD is the right tool for your work.nb
    • so if i wireframe in Illustrator and design in photoshop, does this just merge the two plus adds animation? or is this just another cumbersome clusterfuck lol?_niko
    • I also develop so no need to send my vision off to developers; just seems like it adds an unnecessary layer to me._niko
    • XD has added lots of new features and integrations recently. I’m liking it a lot.Gnash
    • I have it as part of the suite so I'll give it a whirl_niko
    • Wireframe in illustrator? Da fuck?nb
    • Ya, wire framing on XD waaaaaay easierGnash
    • yeah I've used moqups in the past but i love illustrator for how quick and dirty it is :)_niko
    • Sketch has been a pain-in-the ass to manage. XD has sounded good for a while but now with my fellow QBNr's endorsement, I think I'll take a closer look.brandonp
    • If you're not using Sketch nor XD yet, go straight to Figma. XD is good if you need to sync with the Adobe universe. Otherwise Figma.nb
    • It’s XD vs Figma
      For me sketch is out of the picture now.
      XD really is impressive though in terms of features, collaboration, prototyping, it’s ultra fast.      Bullitt
