Request: Invision Studio

[sr229]

Invision Studio

InVision Studio is a free prototyping and design pipeline from InVision. It's considered a drop-in replacement to Sketch and Adobe Illustrator and has a lot of tools built in.

We tested InVision Studio to work with Wine Staging, we're not exactly sure if it works on Stable so you might wanna give it a try.

InVision uses Electron and Squirrel, however I've encountered issues with Wine from Fedora with running Squirrel.

Why would you use Wine for an Electron app? Isn't it extremely easy to make a native Linux app with it?

[sr229]

@tannisroot It's no regular Electron app, I've dug its internals and it has native Node modules, you can't really recompile those without getting the source.

Worst part is these modules are InVision's own private modules.

@sr229 maybe you should say @InVisionApp directly that they should consider GNU/Linux support. They also have a feedback form.
Or open an issue on generator-studio-app which is not quite the correct project but maybe they can help anyway.

@alexanderadam Already requested in their end but this request is intended just in case audiences from the Linux community wants to use Studio and couldn't wait. We could deprecate it once they release a official application.

@sr229 then you might reach more by creating a winepak yaml file by yourself and creating a PR for it. Because it seems that so far nobody else is creating winepak files here.

There's no proper documentation what you have to look out yet, though.

So I guess if you aren't creating a pak file, you will have to wait for the official GNU Linux release. 😉
