Love, love love! Relay. It takes the guess work out of sharing work in progress right from Sketch to Slack. Can't wait to see this evolve into an indispensable tool.

Relay is the love child of RedPen (https://redpen.io) and Sketch-to-Slack (https://github.com/shahruz/Send-...). When I have something I’m happy with in Sketch I hit Command + K, choose the Slack channel I want to share it to, add a note with my thinking behind the design, and hit upload. The image is posted to Slack and synced to the Relay web-app where you can click on specific points and add comments. It acts as wonderful feedback layer on top of Slack by threading the feedback and linking it to the right part of the design. I’ve only been using it for 3 days but I can tell that it’ll be a huge part of my workflow going forwards. The Relay team have been really responsive to all my feedback so far and I’m excited to how the product improves.
@ricburton We can't tell you how happy this makes us, especially that you already see it fitting nicely in your workflow. We've got lots more cook'n. I can't way to show you!
@o_iver We are trying to solve a similar problem. Other than the many differences in our solution, we have disparate approaches towards transparency across a design team. Complete transparency is great until it's not.
Share, annotate and comment on designs via slack. Design Tools + Slack = awesomeness. @rteuscher tell us more about Relay - why did you build it?
@corleyh we're working on design collaboration, as well integrated with Slack. http://www.producthunt.com/posts... Didn't find how to put us in similar products.
@corleyh I'd love for Relay to help designers make more confident design decisions. Great ideas come from all across your team. With Relay, you get to decide who sees your work and when, and your responders get to provide feedback on their terms.
Validating your design solution is critical to iterating. Getting to those "Aha" moments requires perspective. The kind of perspective gained by gathering feedback from the right people at the right time. We've tried a whole host of design feedback solutions that haven't focused enough on the responder. Our hope is that we're not leading your process or asking you to change the way you work, but instead supporting the workflow you already have.
This looks really promising from what I gathered from the website. Hoping we can soon transition to Slack and then try this with the team.
Direct export from Sketch looks great! If you need more integrations like Trello, Asana and JIRA try http://www.producthunt.com/tech/...
