Figma is not forever.

And inVision is now gone.

Goodbye inVision! Who’s next?

Another design tool used by millions just announced they’re shutting down.

If you’ve been designing in the 2010–2017 era you most probably used inVision.

We used it at our company for 99% of all projects, including very complex ones for Fortune500 companies.

And now they’re going out of business.

There may be a lot of reasons for it — for one Figma’s dominance on the market pushed out other tools. Lack of updates and innovation was probably another problem.

They launched a highly anticipated prototyping/animation tool called inVision Studio which I loved, just to leave it without updates for years.

Even when it launched, it was way better in prototyping animation than what Figma’s smart animate does right now.
