I used Plant during the beta with my team and loved it. Not only is it a great app, but the developers were super responsive to our feedback throughout the beta period. Very excited for the Plant team; congrats on the launch!

@chrisvanpatten Hi Chris, thank you for the kind words! We appreciate all your support during the private beta and looking forward to continue having you on board.
@kejnav Hi Djordje, great question! In comparison to Abstract or other similar products. Plant is more integrated into Sketch interface and designers' workflow than anything out there. Plant also let's you resolve conflicts inside Sketch on an artboard level.
Although we are different, we do respect Abstract team and anyone else in this space, who spend many hours and hard work building complex products.
As an OG abstract user I'm very tempted. I have some questions:
1. How are symbols handled? Abstract gets hella messy when symbols are involved
2. How are shared libraries handled in sketch?
@shawnroos Hi Shawn, thanks for this question,
1. We version all symbols at artboard level, and you can filter symbols through our page filter on Plant web app, and see symbols including version changes.
2. Symbols from Sketch Libraries file can be shared across all your project, and in case you don't want to share your Sketch Libraries file with other contributors, but you have projects which use symbols from Sketch Libraries file, Plant is smart enough to version it and contributors won't lose the latest version of those symbols.
@stanislav_skrebkov Hi Stanislav! We haven't seen many reports of this, but if you contact support@plantapp.io we can help diagnose what might be going on. Thanks!
@meshisonkikoza Hi Jessica! Please let us know if we can be helpful while you're testing 👍🏻
Looks promising and easy to use as designers access their files in Sketch rather than relying on some external tool.
Am not sure if Sketch Linked libraries are supported with Plant or not & I could not find any resources available for it. I would really like the product marketing team to create some detailed tutorials on how to effectively use Plant for the design projects. Currently, I can only find a few of very short (few seconds) videos on Plant's website and youtube. Nothing in detail available on web.
Our design team has been using Plant for a couple of months now, but facing a lotof glitches! even the navigation within the app is not very smooth
honestly, I love the product. It's simple, but it does the job smoothly and elegantly. I am a programmer by profession, and found the workflow quite simple, as it is basically a highly simplified version of Git. It doesn't need to be complex though. This is something that I've experienced in other design version control tools, but you guys seem to have nailed down your value. A few key opportunities for improvement in terms of UX, but you guys are definitely headed in the right direction. Kudos
