Okay this is just getting ridiculous, does the team at Invision even sleep??? They keep coming out with kick-ass features like once a week it seems. Holy crap.
Thanks Andy- looking forward to getting feedback on this one. We're pretty excited about it and want to make sure we're dialing it in as tightly as possible.
One issue I have is with font rendering. Here's an example: https://invis.io/GM407RYD7
Importing sketch files into invision renders the text differently than my settings. I have sub-pixel aliasing turned off and it forces the aliasing once imported. The fonts on the left are the text layers rendered by invision, the fonts on the right are screenshots of what it looks like within sketch. This is a problem I have with Zeplin and Avocode (though avocode looks good from within the app, just not their web preview).
Hey Tony- appreciate the heads up here. I just created a support issue here internally based on this and you should receive an email shortly. Def want to see whats going on here for you. This is exactly the sort of feedback we're looking for while in private beta so that we can ensure this is as tight as possible. So.... thanks! :)
I've seen similar issues in my Sketch projects as well. See https://invis.io/6K408DEQA for example in how it renders Proxima Nova.
Tony and Tim, in Sketch, try selecting the artboard, ticking "Background Color" and "Include in Export" and that should fix it. At least that's how I handle it.
Thanks Josh, but this isn't an export these are native Sketch files being automatically imported from Dropbox sync with the font rendering being done in InVision.
Agreed. These guys are incredible.
so. many. features. http://blog.invisionapp.com/category/new-features/
Speechless.
One of my favorite companies.
Keep it up.
Zeplin.io had a good run, but it's as good as dead now.
Did Invision actually just buy Zeplin or license tech from them? The screen that Invision shows in their Insight demo is the exact same one as the Zeplin screen:
This is because Zeplin is using a UI kit made by InVision on that screen, if I'm not mistaking.
Does anyone know when this will be released?
I am a regular user of Zeplin, I love to try this new feature Invision decide to stay with that service, I am not of those who import .sketch in Invision, I prefer to export each screen at the right time. Congratulations on this new feature!
This looks great and definitely hitting a big problem/need. Will definitely use.
Just started using zeplin.io this week to get access to this type of functionality. Glad to see it come to Invision! Invision has already simplified our team's communication a lot this past year but this has been one of the big pieces we've still needed. This should simplify everybody's lives and make it easier to ship higher fidelity design.
