As an application designer (web/mobile), I really like using Adobe XD for early stage designs and small projects. Its minimalism is a joy to work with.
However, as a project grows in size, XD quickly begins to shows its limitations.
My prototypes often involve several hundred screens – and placing all of these on a single canvas becomes unworkable. At some point, you simply run out of space – even after spending time moving and organizing your screens around the canvas.
XD starts to feel very claustrophobic and limiting.
I can think of two possible solutions.
- Allow for multiple canvases (pages) in single XD project. And make page transitions and interactions work across canvases.
- Allow interactions/transitions to work across separate XD files.
I think either of these two suggestions would make XD more practical for larger projects. Until then, I will only use XD for smaller projects – or for time-sensitive early stage designs.
