Posted to 70% of People Worldwide Pronounce 'GIF' With a Hard 'G', Oct 21, 2014 Posted to Ask DN: Which unit do you use? rem, em or px?, Aug 20, 2014 I like to use rems, but I prefer to think in pixels, if that makes sense. I usually have a converter function in Sass that I'll use.
$rem-base: 16; @function rem-calc($num) { @return $num / $rem-base * 1rem; } h1 { font-size: rem-calc(35); }Posted to Sketch is great for screen designers, and Adobe's products will always have a big audience, Jun 13, 2014 Agree. I mean, I like Sketch because it solves a very specific problem. No longer do I have to tame a behemoth like Photoshop to fit into my workflow.
There are some Adobe products I love—Edge Inspect is a tool I use all the time. I think that the Creative Suite apps are great at what they were originally intended for, and I don't think they'll be going away anytime soon.
Posted to Clickhole – The Onion's Buzzfeed Parody Site, in reply to Sacha Greif , Jun 13, 2014 Incredible.
Posted to Would you be up for an Adobe-less work week?, Jun 08, 2014 Yes.
I do really love Edge Inspect though.
Posted to Dropbox acquires Hackpad, Apr 18, 2014 Hackpad is awesome. I use it all the time to take notes and create burndown lists. It's great for collaboration. Congrats to the Hackpad folks! Hope the product stays awesome!! :)
Posted to 2014: Bringing design to life, Jan 27, 2014 I don't entirely agree with what James says about static tools becoming irrelevant, but this is a good read nonetheless.
