• Show HN: Floro – Visual Version Control for static assets and strings

  > Did you ever get a chance to use their product? I wasn't a professional designer so never had a need for layervault, but it had quite a bit of polish for its time. Another app in the space has been https://kaleidoscope.app/ (Mac only) which is still around but doesn't market specifically to just images, I think the parent company has changed hands (was owned by Black Pixel, then Letter Opener GmbH, now owned by... - Source: Hacker News / 19 days ago
