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.
I run a design firm and would love to use a tool that made everyone happier.
The creators clearly have an idea for a way to change designer's workflow, but after viewing this video, the one on their site, and the tour section, I have no idea of how it really works. Right now, I simply don't see how this is an improvement over our current process (which does most of this).
The lack of links back to the main site on this blog is just odd, and the lack of sign-up at the end of the tour page is also puzzling. Its all so off putting...
I think showcasing real examples would be great. Displaying a scenario of how it can be used for designer, Account Manager, client, etc. Showing how it helps everyone involved. Right now it is all so abstract.
Update: It appears my post is unable to be read, as are the last 70 days of posts I've made. No explanation or notice. No notification my posts are hidden in any way from within the backend. I'm not spamming, nor have I posted anything other than thoughts. I have a positive karma, so I'm hopefully contributing to the community.
I like Hacker News because it is a place where big ideas and honest thoughts meet. It is what is great about the internet.
But being ghost-banned from a site that claims to be a haven for fresh, independent ideas is ironic. I understand how tough it must be to curate this site, but if dissenting opinions are no longer allowed on this site I will happily move on.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
