I had some issues with an employee who was commenting a storm of uneducated comments on some of my published prototypes.

The prototypes I post are mainly for handing off specs to developers and to discuss aspects of the UI with them. Other people outside this workflow are able and welcome to look at the prototypes. However, it is our expectation that people outside the Design-Dev relationship should refrain from making comments. If they do make a comment, they . should only make comments that pertain to their profession and not to propose design changes since they are not designers nor developers. We use a different platform for requesting design changes.

It was frustrating for me when I had to deal with people new to the environment who are not devs nor designers and love to comment away like they are on Facebook. Some even get a bit confrontational when I try to tell them that these prototypes are not for making the types of comments they are making. They don't realize that I am the owner and I don't appreciate their trolling.

I would be great if I could add disclaimers to the prototype. I have a template. And also if I could have a blacklist.

Shortcut for color picker and import of hex directly to color library.

First off, great tool you have created so far. Secondly I wanted to propose to have shortcuts for the color picker. I find the new version pretty great already, but what I am really missing is a shortcut, similar to that of photoshop, illustrator, indesign, …
My guess is that since you have 3 distinct colors to choose (fill, outline and gradient) this poses a problem. I was wondering, if you still can’t make a version, like that of PS. Press "i" to choose the tool (should be available in the left toolbox), if you "pick" a color, it is the fill color, if you hold alt while picking you choose an outline color and if you hold shift+alt you choose the gradient (this might not even be necessary or useful) . Just an idea. It would make the coloring process much quicker I believe.

The other proposal I have is regarding a kind of import function for colors using hex codes. I would love to have a kind of automatic import when you copy a hex code somewhere, go back to XD to get a prompt whether you would like the color to be imported and if confirmed directly import it to the library. This should also work if you copy multiple hex codes.

Thats it for now. And thanks again for this tool. I love it.

Can it be integrated with Adobe Sensei in future? That will surely automate few things for the end users

1) UI kits can be automatically downloaded and installed within XD. Suppose a user is working on the android artboard, he will get all the android related UI kits on the go.

2) Specific UI elements can be searched by name and instantly applied in the design system while working, it will surely save time when one had to find specific UI element in a huge document.

Think of a side panel of UI library integrated with Adobe Sensei doing all this without opening a sperate UI kit file.

TYPE (SEARCH UI ELEMENT BY NAME) + ENTER = KABOOOM SENSEI.

When you copy text from a website, mimic the CSS too

When designing changes to existing websites, it would be amazing to be able to copy/paste text in and have it be the same size/colour as it was on the site.

I realise this might need a browser extension or something, but if you go down that route then actually being able to copy all kinds of elements from an existing website would be game changing.

An alternative to the extension on a live website route, would be saving a website and opening it in XD in an "import mode" where you can select which elements on the page you want to make symbols from

It's a long shot, but it could be a way of getting ahead instead of trying to catch up to Sketch and similar. And it would certainly make my life easier =D
