The new InVision—codename: V7—runs on an entirely new code base, is remarkably fast, and redefines collaboration across teams and stakeholders. It also comes with a whole new look.

Clark from InVision here. I’m excited to announce InVision V7, coming in 2018. We’ve spent the last two years rebuilding InVision from the ground up. We tore it apart and started over—and we think you’ll be pleased with the results. The new InVision is up to 8x faster, redefines collaboration, and has a whole new look. We can’t wait for you to get your hands on it. PH friends: Make sure to get add yourself to the waiting list to be among the first to get access: https://www.invisionapp.com/blog...

@clarkvalberg This is awesome to see, Clark. Can't wait to use it. Congrats on the launch and keep doing what you're doing!
Josh Bean
@clarkvalberg Looks amazing - can't wait to give it a go. I get so many emails filled with different InVision links, Spaces will solve this. Congrats 🎉

@clarkvalberg super cool. I was hoping you and your team were secretly working on a super-revamp. Very excited to see and feel how it works and improves the daily flow.

@clarkvalberg I signed up for early access but haven't received anything yet - are you offering access to the Product Hunt community or is this just a teaser?
Rich Peterson
@clarkvalberg look forward to checking out the revamp. Recently did demos for a dozen proofing software programs and yours was a standout. Nice work!!
Mauro Sicard
It looks incredible. Can't wait to try it out and also test InVision Studio. Is there a way to speed up the early access process? I would love to try it out right now!
Lee Fuhr
Still no v7 (2 years after it was 2 years in the making), but hey at least today InVision is coming out with a movie! What?

I'm loving the stuff InVision is putting out this year and next, but I do wish the examples they'd show would reflect more realistic websites and apps. This and Studio seem to cover a lot of the same interactions, use cases and design styles. The most important thing for me in a design tool is knowing it can cover any base, any design style and any interaction. A lot of the demos so far have been side-swiping, picture fading, highly designed nonsense. That's not really a great reflection on the apps and websites being built today.
Grant Wilkinson
@ryanamurphy I agree. The examples are overly designed to sell people in on the service (which i get) but then you are not 100% confident that you wont have pitfalls when it comes to realistic applications and flexibility for real use cases. Still a fantastic product. Maybe they need a "made with" showcase.
Josh Peters
@ryanamurphy Well you'll always have existing working methods to fall back onto if this doesn't do it all for you.
Dennis Weinhardt
@ryanamurphy Totally agree. However, there will always be a realistic use case which will not be reflected by examples. No matter what example you choose. A collection of very different showcases could solve that maybe.

Super excited to see this. While everybody tries to develop the same thing a little bit better, you guys are driving the niche forward and always bring something new to the table. Best of luck with the new launch. Really great work.

So glad to see InVision coming with Spaces. I've been using InVision prototypes for product communication and feedback as well, keeping it central. This update would just make it even better.
Matt Waite
Looks slick - very excited to try it out. @clarkvalberg has InVision every published about their product launch strategy? The glossy, loud feature video seems to be a company mainstay. Like a public co. hardware launch - Apple or Google. Seems smart, would love to learn more about the strategy/effectiveness if you all have anything published
Andrew Stetsenko
I love the idea of making well-designed prototypes with team collaboration and without a single line of code.
Bauke van Gameren

Great product launch! Got me hyped.

I would be interested to know why a big rewrite and not incremental improvements throughout the last 2 years?

How do you measure success of InVision v7?

e.g. Will 8x faster increase user's engagement?

Although it's not really clear yet what the benefits are of v7 above the previous version (other than something is up to 8x faster). I do sense re-platforming will enable InVision to iterate faster and set them up to work better with big enterprises.

Pros:

8x faster...

Cons:

Unclear what the benefit of v7 is to me as a designer (yet)

Elias Ruiz Monserrat
Out of curiosity, now that you're about to launch Studio, I wonder what tool you guys used to design the new UI? Sketch?
Stu Curry
@elias_ruiz_monserrat I'm pretty sure I read on Twitter that the Invision design team all moved to Studio a while back, but I don't work their so can't say for sure.
Tom Hopcraft
I love Invision. Been in my workflow for a long time now and could never replace. Have been trying many rivals as it's currently buggy and slow as hell, but it's never made me drop it just because the rivals still aren't as good. I'm happy to see you've been ignoring the bugs to build from the ground up. Looking forward to this and getting some of my life back.
Dennis Weinhardt
I'd like to know if the Build Mode is still included. I didn't see it in the trailer... Out of curiosity, did you guys exclude it so people will use InVision Studio to build the prototypes instead?
Dennis Weinhardt

Unreleased product with a lot marketing blah blah.

Pros:

Since it's still not out at this moment, I can't say there are pros compared to earlier versions yet.

Cons:

Well where is it?

Vishu

I hope to get my hands on it sometime this year.

Pros:

I like the idea of spaces.

Cons:

It's almost end of Q1 2019 and we're still waiting for the launch.

Sean Braithwaite
Invision taking over my work flow next year apparently! Everything they're putting out right now is looking awesome!
Brian Wallace
Have been a fan and user of Invision for years. Can see that Clark and the team have a fantastic new version in store for us!
Franck Helaine
We are at the end of the year 2019, can we hope to see one day your new version of invision? Because since 2017, your product is completely buggy and gives me a lot of frustration ... And one day I will convince my boss (I give you an overview of frustration level) to move on to something that actually works.
Wilián Iralzabal

Keep it up!

Pros:

It's much faster now which is great! I look forward to testing this out in a real world project.

Cons:

No cons from what I can tell. InVision is always putting out great work. Cheers!

Dennis Hansen
It seems like this isn’t the place to announce that a product is going to come out.
