Posted to Sketch 4.0 Feature Wish List, May 18, 2015 Posted to Sketch 4.0 Feature Wish List, in reply to Erik Bue , May 18, 2015 Just stop using Photoshop :) that muscle memory goes away after awhile…
Posted to Nudg.it - a companion app for sketch to adjust your nudge settings, May 04, 2015 Is this not working for anyone else in 3.3.1 or is it just me?
Given, the terminal command doesn't work either, nothing back from Sketch support yet.
Posted to What's good in London?, in reply to Thomas Rawcliffe , Apr 24, 2015 Dishoom
second that, it's fucking tasty. (once you get over the slightly colonialist vibe.)
Posted to I'm staying in SF for 3 months. Any good recommendations, people to meet?, Apr 23, 2015 Open invitation if you want to go to the Exploratorium (for free). I have a membership and can bring guests.
Posted to Visiting San Francisco in May, Apr 17, 2015 Highly recommend any Exploratorium nightlife stuff — less kids running around, + booze. De Young and Legion of Honor (lots of Rodin, some visiting fashion stuff) are some other good museums if you're into capital A Art.
There's a long list of good coffee places to go to in SF, but nearby you you'll have Blue Bottle at the Mint, and Sightglass in Soma. Also see Four Barrel, Ritual, etc etc etc.
Great food is to be had pretty much everywhere — Foursquare won't do you wrong. Near Union Square, there's a ton of great Vietnamese restaurants in the Tenderloin (not the nicest neighborhood fyi), also other classics like Brenda's French Soul Food. Also be sure to do a weekend SF brunch at a hyped up brunch place just for the experience of waiting absurdly long in line (or go "early" & skip the line).
Posted to Rdio, Spotify, or Other?, in reply to Charlie Sneath , Mar 13, 2015 +1 Google Music
Because Songza playlists, and I can upload weird music not in their library for listening / backup.
Posted to What's your taste in music when designing?, Feb 20, 2015 usually downtempo / trip hop: massive attack, tricky, portishead. or latin/south american: gotan project or classical argentine tango (separate obsession), novalima, tinariwen or other african blues. been exploring more old school hip hop lately.
Posted to Ask DN: What water bottle do you use?, Feb 09, 2015 1L Platypus soft bottle. Takes up no space when it's empty (can fold it up and stash it in your pocket), and even if you keep water in it for a long time, it doesn't taste funky.
Posted to Cheatsheet—for the little things you never remember, Sep 23, 2014 Really cute, simple, useful app. Would love a glyph for wifi passwords :)
Interaction/animation prototyping. …No?
Ok a simpler one: how about just make text layers align properly. Snap to the baseline, and all text size and leading changes happen from that reference point.
Text bounding boxes are so useless.
