Paper is a new design tool. We launched into open alpha today. Anyone can now sign up and use Paper.

We started Paper about 1 year ago with the goal to bring more creativity back into design tools. It feels like the existing options are becoming increasingly corporate.

To celebrate to launch, we published a new shader that lets anyone see their logo in Apple's new heat map animation style. There is no sign-up needed at heat.paper.design.

We're always looking for feedback from anyone who uses Sketch, Figma, Photoshop, or Illustrator, about what they most need in their professional design tools.

Have fun with the new shader and please send me anything you make!
