Famous Studio (Beta) is a promising gem that will literally influence and change not only the "game" but the digital industry mindset about digital designers relationship process between prototyping and pushing live as a web app, with a growing engineering ecosystem and engineers that got your back. That said, the perfect direct and transparent relationship with a company like Famous as a user is the key for the upcoming future. I've never experienced an Alpha and Beta testing like this in almost 10 years as a digital designer. It is an honor for being an early Alpha user with an inspiring team and Alpha mates. Surely worth a meaningful test with Famous team and its community is a really exceptional experience!
I've been an Alpha user and so far it has really been amazing what we've been able to do with it. What's even more amazing is the jumps that the platform's capabilities make every time there's a new update. PROS: - It runs on Mac as well as Windows desktop - Previewing has been well thought out and works really well - Allows us to move from design to implementation rapidly, especially because iterations to designs instantaneously reflect in all the previews - The learning curve is not steep - The support for the industry standards (more import opportunities coming) - Their approach to components and working with other platforms (e.g. Stripe) is mind-blowingly impressive - Their responsiveness (not just the mobile responsive features), but the actually human beings as well. :) Most of my wishlist has been confirmed by the team to be on the way and most of the time I get an actual estimated release date. What's even better, it seems their mindset is to underpromise and then over-deliver. CONS: - Really looking forward to being able to integrate designs with APIs, dynamic content and coding - More import opportunities - More components and options to handle things like videos, etc. I recommend you jump in on the early subscriber option, you'll save a ton and I don't see what you would have to use.
