The Pull Request for Designers
layervault.tumblr.comThe video has no scrubbing controls on it. The project sounds neat but I couldn't fast-forward to the meat of the video so I bailed.
Yeah, there should be scrubbing controls. I don't mind watching the entire video but I'd like to know how long the video is so I can decide to watch it now (if it's 45 seconds) or later when I have free time (if it's 10 minutes long).
Yeah. Sharp knees. Would not hit.[1]
Very cool, but their website is down (HN'd?) and their lack of any real "call to action" (which gets me off their tumblr and to their ACTUAL website) will leave many a mouse-wielding monkey stupefied.
Not HN'd. Problem with our host. We're working with them to resolve it ASAP.
Congratulations, gentlemen -- this looks fantastic.
I agree, I don't do much designing ( especially at the scale where you'd be a likely customer for Layervault ) but I think it looks and feels great and should make the workflow for a lot of designers less frustrating.
CubicleNinjas, your post is dead, but you seem to offer some good feedback for the Layervault team. Just a heads up that you might want to create a new account and repost.
Sounds really good, but I can't tell what it actually does. I'm assuming you replicated some features of git with your own gui? Let's see a good description of what this is. I'm on my phone and don't want to watch your video that's too big for my screen. Just some friendly advice.
P.S. RIP cubicleninjas
Looks great but these days I rarely design entire sites in graphics programs, I design right in the browser with CSS/HTML.
Not one single link to the product in the post. sigh.
This is a great suggestion - there should be a call to action and a link directly to the feature you're talking about right at the end, as well as some interspersed in the post.
Don't overlook simple marketing. You gotta do this stuff guys.
