Four years ago this week, we launched the first version of Niice (known internally as Vanilla Niice). Since then we’ve learned a lot about how creative teams of all shapes and sizes collaborate, and the common problems we all face. The creative process is a conversation, and when creative projects fail it’s rarely due to a shortage of ideas or talent; it’s because communication breaks down. This makes sense when you consider that all of our communication tools were designed for words, not pictures. We believe there's a need for a tool that’s designed for free-flowing, creative discussions; that enables us to present & critique our ideas in a visual way without having to be in the same room at the same time, or even the same timezone. So today we’re launching Niice 2: a canvas for creative discussion. It’s a feedback tool that’s easier than email, and a smart, shared visual library for your team. We hope you like it!

This is a masterpiece of UX and interaction design. Very inspiring, the new version is really niicely done.

Chris this is beautiful! I didn't think the interface for Niice could be any simpler and more enjoyable to use but you figured out a way. Can't wait to see where this goes.

Stunning work here Chris, as usual! I'm really looking forward to introducing this to our design team, once I've hired them. PS keep up the strong pun game :)

Hey Chris, I love all the efforts you put into Niice. I just won a "one hundred time you use Niice" badge :) That makes me smile. Really niice product ^^ And noticed the way you implement our comments and ideas straight into the app/webapp. Wish you the best.

Maybe I'm dense, maybe I'm missing coffee, maybe I'm getting old, maybe I'm all of these but I am finding this unbelievably complex to use - I would not dream of setting this lose on a client. Hotspots come and then disappear, clicking on images sometimes enlarges them, sometimes reduces them, sometimes calls up hotspots that then create what looks like code snippets in the comment box. There doesn't seem to be a clear indication on the images that a comment has been left, there doesn't seem to be a way to make hotspots persistent so the next person can see that there's something that needs following up. I've played with this now for ten minutes and I am as confused as can be.

This looks stunning. Great work.

This is very very cool and would love to chat about an integration options. Do you support Photoshop and Illustrator files or Artboard PSD / AI files?

PENG.

Noiiiccceee!!! The first version of Niice - saved me life a few times. Helped me put together ideas into action but also helped present complex visual ideas to clients and my team. Can't wait to see what comes next...

Looks beautiful! Keep up a great work!

Chris, really pretty and easy to use interface. Looking forward to passing this along to team to see how everyone likes it
