Starting to think Star Wars was more McQuarrie's vision than Lucas'...
As a developer-turned-designer, I'm glad someone pointed that out. :)
My goal is to make this the pseudo-official UI template for Android, much like what Teehan + Lax did for iOS, but with a different approach by building it out iteratively in the open.
I thought it aligns with Android's open philosophy pretty well. (Or I got tired of not shipping and decided to fuck it. Either way, the reaction has been tremendously encouraging!)
I closed the tab halfway through because I thought it was going to be something in this vein again: http://comic.naver.com/webtoon/detail.nhn?titleId=350217&no=20&weekday=tue
Nope. Not even once.
Been looking for a Sketch plugin repository like this - thanks a bunch! And great work!
Dell sells a 28-inch "4K" display for $700, it's got a 3840 x 2160 resolution. Pretty affordable, if you ask me, though if you need a 60hz refresh rate look elsewhere.
24" by itself is too small for me, but I used to swear by a dual-monitor setup with 2 x 24" Dell UltraSharp's, since the second one could swivel into portrait view more suitable for coding. I eventually found that:
Since switching to a 27" Thunderbolt display, I haven't missed my former setup at all. It's small enough that my eyes aren't easily fatigued, and big enough to dock all of my work windows before hitting diminishing returns on productivity.
Flux also doesn't run well on multiple monitors, so it's a single 27" all the way for me.
If you were on Hacker News when it was still in its infancy (read: good), it's pretty much what DN is now. Fingers crossed it doesn't change.

Author here! Happy and surprised this made DN again, but I guess it kind of validates my approach to iterate on the kit in public.
I didn't get a lot of feedback the last time, so want to take this opportunity to invite commentary:
