Posted to Is it just me or did DN use to be more interesting?, Mar 14, 2017 Posted to Prototyping in Xcode without a single line of code, in reply to Matt Scorte , Jan 19, 2016 Depends on your goals. When i want to communicate a flow I use Flinto for mac. You can also create your own transitions which is a bonus.
Posted to Prototyping in Xcode without a single line of code, Jan 19, 2016 Nice tutorial, easy to follow.
My issue with this is that it's not a better solution for most common needs. If the goal is to communicate a flow, have it on a real device and share then Invision, Flinto or Marvel does all of that but better. They have more transitions like push and it's faster. It sounds cool to use xcode, but at that point you might as well use what it's for and write some code.
Posted to Marvel prototype turned into a portfolio, Jun 20, 2015 You could knock up a website like this using Squarespace in roughly the same amount of time. Not sure how this is better than that.
But, it sure is unique way of using a prototype tool.
Posted to Introducing San Francisco, in reply to Laurens Spangenberg , Jun 13, 2015 I tried it out on Yosemite. I liked it, although seemed a little thin. Has some line height issues so I reverted back to default.
Posted to Reuters TV for iOS - Beautiful app, Feb 09, 2015 If anyone is interested in finding out the engineer who did a lot of the animation/transition work: https://twitter.com/marcus_eckert
He also has a blog with a lot of cool experimental work
Posted to Markly - specs for Photoshop CC & Sketch, in reply to David Klawitter , Jan 14, 2015 I agree, zeplin is a great tool! It has improved my workflow.
Posted to Use both Sketch and Slack at work? I made a plugin for you!, Nov 22, 2014 Cool! Thanks for the plugin. I also find myself dragging the exported preview (on the right) into Slack or anywhere for that matter works great too.
Posted to Apple on Hamburger Menus, Oct 20, 2014 I do believe hamburger menus are not the best form of representing Primary Navigation, although there are apps (not primary navigation) where it can be effective i.e. Slack for iOS.
I wrote an article on this exact topic

Posted to What's your app's interaction flow?, Oct 17, 2014 Whiteboard > Pen+Paper > Sketch > Flinto+Pixate
Usually use a whiteboard or Flinto to present the flow or story. It's also good a way of getting feedback from colleagues and user tests. Pixate for exploring complex interactions and animations, usually shown to developers and even users.
I also couldn't do without this sketch book - http://dotgrid.co/product/dot-grid-template-book-iphone5/

This has become like product hunt - a dumping ground for links and products. The fact that I can't even find this post through the homepage and search shows that the algorithm sucks.
Went downhill ever since it went for open registration.
