Makes collaboration seamless within web environments. Really fantastic tool - kudos to the layer team.
Great work @tarekabi and @samabi - congrats on the launch! Would love to understand if people can collaborate in real time i.e. watch the comments people leave on the page and reply back immediately. Also, what improvements would have to be made so that QA teams are able to use it to review time-sensitive information?
Screenshots randomly stored and hard to find in Figma will be a thing of the past.
Congratulations @tarekabi, @samabi, and team.
Believer since day 1 💪

After testing Layer for quite some time, I can confidently say that their product is nothing short of awesome! 🌟
As an extension, Layer seamlessly transforms your web browsing experience into a collaborative space for your entire team. I no longer have to deal with disjointed workflows, context switching, or loss of context that come with using separate apps like Slack, Notes, Notion etc. . Layer enables you to work on the web and collaborate simultaneously, pretty much like Figma.
The way I've envisioned Layer is that every website becomes sort of a canvas for me and my team to share information, ideas, feedback, or notes. And when words don't suffice, to be able to dive into live sessions, exploring the web together in real-time with synchronised navigation and live cursors. It reminded me of the collaboration we experience on Google Docs, but for the entire web! 🌐
One use case that I've been particularly fund of is using it alongside Miro during architectural and engineering talks over technical diagrams and complex schematics and I believe Layer have saved me quite some hours and unnecessary calls with colleagues to decipher them.
The potential of Layer is immense, and I am extremely excited for what it can bring to the realm of collaboration. Thank you, @tarekabi and Sam, for this groundbreaking product! 🙌
Just superb - have wanted to see browser collaboration done like this for years, and now that Layer is doing it so elegantly, can't wait to see how it develops!
This is such a wild and fun idea. I like it! Not sure how much my colleagues will love it as I drag them into page after page but I can't wait to try.
Very useful to be honest, so excited to see it evolve!
