Device skin plug-in?

[perrybrus]

I'm looking around trying to find a device skin plug-in or something for XD cause as far as I know the application doesn't offer this. I find that quite odd cause XD is a prototyping tool - correct? When previewing art boards it would be nice to put it inside the intended device, like mobile phone, tablet etc. In InVision for instance you can choose to preview your mockup inside a mobile phone to simulate an autentic look for IOS or Android for instance, you can also set fixed portions of your design like the top or bottom area swiftly in InVision. The latter is not possible in XD either. Obviously there should be features like this in XD, someone needs to produce plug-ins cause Adobe obviously don't keep up with the competitors. I really enjoy XD as a way to set up mock-ups fast, but there are no features that makes the mockup come alive. It's very static and as we all know UI's are not, especially not small screen UI's. So there's a huge gap between what we see live and what your able to produce in XD. I'm constantly finding myself returning to Axure, InVision, PS and other tools but XD carries so much potential and Adobe has a good track record when it comes to IN, PS, IL etc. But XD seems like something in between everything, it really feels like a release candidate. A prototype of a prototype tool ironically...

Hi perrybus,

Thank you for your suggestions. Please post your request here Adobe XD Feedback : Feature Requests & Bugs and canvas for votes from other users that would be similarly interested.

Some of the suggestions may already been on the team's radar.

Thanks,

Preran

Hi, I have made myself a tool for sharing XD prototypes by embedding them under a device mask:

www.xdskin.com

You can substitute id= in the url with the id of your own prototype and share the preview.

Let me know if you like it.

Hi, thanks but I'm not sure what you meant here. I'm looking for a local preview of my files inside a mobile template so I can demo my design in meetings directly from within XD so I don't have to upload all demo screens to Invision just for the purpose of showing the design. Once my design is accepted I'm sharing it on Invision and I make design specs at CC. I never share prototypes at CC. But I normally show alot of design iteration direct from within XD so I really think Adobe should make it possible to display the mobile design screens inside mobile phone skins (just like invision) from the application itself. It totally lacks that, and the XD mobile app doesn't support direct preview on PC. The latter is lame anyhow as it doesn't suite all resolutions when I see that preformed on a mac.

So to conclude: Adobe, please make it possible to show mobile screen design in an authentic graphical environment. As inside a mobile phone template.
