Alright, thanks for the answers!
I think my first step will be to stop being a control freak.
Thanks for doing this!
As designers and developers foremost, what crucial business lessons & knowledge have you learned over the years by founding your own studio?
Did you have any business experience prior to the founding of This Also?
As a designer & developer myself, I'm looking into founding my own studio in the not-too-far-future. However, I'm not sure what I need to know so I don't crash and burn. I've done freelance before and I know business is not my forte, but I'm willing to learn.
As much as I'd love to try Sketch, I'm pretty ok with using Adobe products on my Windows machine. A lot of apps are cross-platform and those that aren't have alternatives on Windows.
My main reason for designing and developing on Windows is the cost. It cost my significantly less to choose my computer parts and build my own PC than to buy a Mac with the same specs. Intel i7, 16GB of Ram and a GTX 960 for $1000 CAD.
Well worth it.
Linux is always tempting over Windows, Adobe's lack of support of Linux pushes me back towards Windows.
On the development side of things, all the tools I use are cross-platform. Atom, NodeJS, task runners, Vagrant, Virtual Box, etc. No problem there. Only one that's problematic is Ruby. Rarely use it though.
This is definitely a step in the right direction. I've been itching to try out some of these Adobe competitors for a while at home, but there's never any support for Windows.
Hoping to see Sketch go the same direction in the future, but I think it's doubtful.
You're on a roll. First a complete rewrite of Layzr.js and now this! I'll probably have a use for this in my portfolio update. Thanks for sharing.
TinyMCE grew up! It's pretty different than last time I used it.
What did they do to Lightroom?
