Show HN: Folio for Mac – Simple version control app for designers based on Git
- joshmn 11y agoDoes this actually sync with remotes? That part isn't clear.
- sickmate 11y agoIn their blog post on medium[1], they mention that it is built on git. webdesignledger.com[2] claims that it supports full version control.

- emielvl 11y agoAt the moment, Folio only works locally. Remotes are definitely on our radar though!
- billconan 11y agodoes this support all file types? psd? png? avi? mp4? possible to merge changes?
- emielvl 11y agoCurrently Folio supports psd, sketch, ai as well as png, jpg, tiff, dng and gif.
- pketh 11y agoWith binary files and git, am I saving all the previous versions in the tree locally (which could get huge fast), or just the diffs?
- pilif 11y agoBinary diffs. But depending on the file, it might not really be of much help (I know for a fact that Adobe premiere projects for example are nearly completely different every time you save).
- emielvl 11y agoFolio uses git internally and as such is based on binary diffs. To tackle the issue of an ever-growing repository, we're looking into integrating git-lfs which supports offloading blobs from the repository.
- billconan 11y agoSo is there a way to achieve collaboration? if this is based on binary diffs, can we still have merging?
- huac 11y agoI wonder the benefit of using Git over Dropbox for a designer for this purpose.
- stephenr 11y agoA git repo can be hosted wherever you like. Dropbox, not so much.
