One of the hot topics at Google I/O 2018 has been the evolution of the Material Design. The website has been overhauled and lots of new guidelines have been added, with some of the changes being discussed in sessions at the conference. Material Theming is also being introduced to help developers implement the design language in their apps while retaining their own style. Another tool, Material Gallery, has just been launched to help designers organize their projects.

 

Available on Android, iOS and the web, Material Gallery is a place for design projects to be uploaded so that teams can work on them together. You can invite any number of people to review or collaborate on your designs, which could be in the form of screenshots, sketches or whiteboarding sessions.

The app can inspect elements, generate redlines, and offers lots of other helpful information. Feedback can be left by project members and revisions can then be easily tracked. External links such as documentation can be attached (on the web app only, it seems), with colors automatically assigned to different Google Drive document types.

With the Material plugin installed as well, other developer resources such as the Material Theme Editor and the component library can be linked, plus your Sketch artboards can be synced. Sign up with your Google account and you'll find a sample project already there to show you what's possible and help you get started. You can find out more information on the Material site.

The Android app can be installed via the Play Store link below, or you can sideload it from APK Mirror.
