Posted to Sketch 54: Snapping Improvements and Dark Mode Switch, Apr 09, 2019 Posted to Online "moodboard" platforms that aren't Pinterest? , Mar 10, 2016 Adobe Bridge can be a pretty nice environment to view and sort your moodboard inspiration without all the clutter of Pinterest. If you create your reference folders in Dropbox, it will be accessible on any computer while still viewable in Bridge and/or Finder. This has been my solution since trying to replace Ember for Mac, but I still am looking for a better screenshot workflow to get undraggable things into Bridge.
Posted to Ask DN: What is the best way to animate an SVG image for the web?, Jun 09, 2015 Greensock Animation Platform is amazing and recently added support for SVG.
Posted to Recommended step by step guides to learning Photoshop, Jun 08, 2015 If you're looking for Interface/Web Design then I recommend Nathan Barry's Photoshop for Web Design.
I've used Sketch professionally for the past few years, and before that I used Adobe Fireworks. I always just used Photoshop for advanced photo editing and not interface design.
Due to a really great opportunity, I recently had to sit down and quickly learn how to use Photoshop the way I use Sketch and Fireworks.
Nathan's course helped me remove all the extra power of Photoshop and focus on what I really need for UI design.
If you're looking to learn everything and the kitchen sink, Lynda.com has infinite Photoshop courses. They also have videos on how to integrate Illustrator with Photoshop which has been helpful coming from programs (Sketch/Fireworks) that are more vector based than Photoshop.
Posted to Ask DN: Which B2B companies have the best design?, in reply to Joey Hiller , May 12, 2015 Nice list, sent screengrabs straight to Ember.app. This kind of inspiration is often handy, thanks.
Posted to Ask DN: Did anyone else lose their saved color swatches in the latest Sketch update?, May 08, 2015 Yes, I lost all my colors.
They told me it would be fixed in the next update (which has since happened) but I think I had already reloaded my colors by then-I had a saved screenshot of my colors.
Posted to Ask DN: Client wants a full-screen background for their data-driven analytics SaaS. How can I steer them away from this?, May 07, 2015 A shockingly high quote in the proposal might do the trick…
These type of requests seem bound to go way over budget.
Posted to Dealing with too many browser tabs, May 02, 2015 I switched from OneTab to this, it doesn't keep an archive of open tabs, like OneTab, but I like the behavior a little better. It lets me close all tabs except the one I'm currently working in: Keyboard Shortcuts to Close Other/Right Tabs
Posted to Who's on Twitter?, Apr 30, 2015 apps, shortcuts, design, UI, UX, motion, links, Sketch, etc.

I'm glad border dash and gap are draggable again, but I wish they would have also reintroduced draggability for font sizes.
