    I can't switch from sketch to adobe xd because I need a versioning tool like Plant.

  • Daniel O'Neil commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    If more info is still needed, the idea is for Adobe XD to create an extension API to allow third-party developers to create XD plug-ins. This will help extend the app's core functionality and get key enhancements to the user base quickly and efficiently. It's one of the huge reasons for Sketch's success and versatility. Here's the Sketch page about it: https://developer.sketchapp.com

    Is there a way to take over ownership of feature requests? I would love to expand on this.
    I do not see how Adobe can not see the value in this feature, what have they got to lose by allowing 3rd parties to develop and improve on XD? Currently Adobe has over 1500 feature requests yet the ability to only address 2-3 each update. Simply put, allowing 3rd party developers to create plugins that address many of the issues that users have with XD will only improve the product thus bringing XD on par with their competitors.

    Dear XD, If you need to beat Sketch then you chould allow the third party plugins / extensions. Sketch still 100 times better than XD because of his huge plugins library.its really helpful.Why you guys don;t make it ?

    I totally agree with this issue of plugins, at this moment I'm about to finish a case study in which I want to integrate some screens with an isometric view to a template that I made, but there are too many screens and the process of adapting them I have to do it manually . In Sketch there is a plugin that besides other functions serves specifically for what I want to do, it's called "Magic Mirror" and I can't use Sketch for this project because I'm working on Windows. So please some Adobe developer pay attention to all comments and open the possibility of development of third-party functionality.

    Plugins that have been accessible in Sketch are much needed. One such is the ability to integrate font icon libraries. Being able to, INSIDE / INTEGRATED in the app, select an icon font library and search for the icons - it's a HUGE time saver.

    So whether that's a 3rd party plugin that the open-source community could build, or it's a new feature in XD - it's incredibly valuable and I am hoping to see that in xd.

    I would love to be able to hook into GitHub. My team uses that primarily for source control around coding and how awesome would it be to use this for our designs as well?

  • Daniel V commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    One of the big challenges of big projects is maintaining a design system. Adobe XD symbols are great, but how to maintain a design system when you work with 10 developers being in a 2 people design team? It also happens that I make changes in the browser and then I need to go back to Adobe XD to update the change. It makes the UI library / system very hard to maintain consistency on code + design. However, I think that you guys would never (or shouldn't) put too much effort on building these types of tools that AirBnB did with sketch for example: https://techcrunch.com/2017/04/25/airbnbs-new-open-source-library-lets-you-design-with-react-and-render-to-sketch/. For that reason, I don't understand why Adobe doesn't allow a plugin system, so other people like us can develop something to fix our own problems

    Dear Adobe Team, as XD is missing a lot of core features yet, it would be great if you would give Developers the Opportunity to add missing stuff themselves.

    This way we could add:
    - Inner Shadows
    - Extend the Layout Grid
    - Helpers to distribute items on a Grid

    and so on. In Sketch, the JS based Plugin Functionality was very helpful. Please consider this. I'd love to stay in Adobe's Ecosystem, but on the long run I'll switch to Sketch or Framer if I need to wait for you to add these features.

    Adobe XD can be integrated with 3rd party apps like Anima launchpad, rapid UI ...... so it can help people to create faster designs with ease.....

    Thank You

    This needs to be upvoted. The XD team is clearly small and slow, maybe this feature will speed up things...

  • Daniel Vianna commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Hey guys! I have a great Idea for an Adobe XD plugin for user experience design / research and I can do programming. I was wondering why you guys are not allowing third party plugins? it's the standard on the app world these days to allow third party plugins or API's , like some software like Photoshop does.
