InVision design tool Studio gets an app store, asset store

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
InVision, the startup that wants to be the operating system for designers, today introduced its app store and asset store within InVision
Studio
In short, InVision Studio users now have access to some of their most-used apps and services from right within the Studio design tool
Plus, those same users will be able to shop for icons, UX/UI components, typefaces and more from within Studio.While Studio is still in its
early days, InVision has compiled a solid list of initial app store partners, including Google, Salesforce, Slack, Getty, Atlassian, and
more.InVision first launched as a collaboration tool for designers, letting designers upload prototypes into the cloud so that other members
of the organization could leave feedback before engineers set the design in stone
Since that launch in 2011, InVision has grown to 4 million users, capturing 80 percent of the Fortune 100, raising a total of $235 million
Which is why InVision launched Studio in late 2017, hoping to take on Adobe and Sketch head-on with its own design tool.Studio
from another, working on animations and transitions in another, and then stitching the whole thing together to share for collaboration
across InVision Cloud
Studio aims to bring all those various services into a single product, and a critical piece of that mission is building out an app store and
asset store with the services too sticky for InVision to rebuild from Scratch, such as Slack or Atlassian.With the InVision app store,
Studio users can search Getty from within their design and preview various Getty images without ever leaving the app
They can then share that design via Slack or send it off to engineers within Atlassian, or push it straight to UserTesting.com to get
logos, and hex codes) directly into Studio, ensuring that designers have easy access to all the assets they need
Now InVision is taking that a step further with the launch of the asset store, letting designers sell their own assets to the greater
products to our competitors
