    Oh yes they do excellent work in form type workflows - sharing their patterns as well which I love Ex: https://www.gov.uk/service-manual/design/form-structure

    So far this looks great. The share interface seems nice which is about the only thing I use these apps for to be honest. Anything that makes that faster to fill out is a win in my …

    Meh. I can't open any of our old sketch files at work because I don't have a valid license for a version that works on the newest OS. All the same as being locked out of a server i…

    Is Sketch doing anything for print? I haven't used it for a few years now and back then it was digital only.

    I've been testing this out with a 600 page research paper before the launch of 2.0 and now continuing after. Love the annotations, works very well for my purposes. Really enjoying …

    You might try the Audio MIDI Setup utility. This allows you to add/remove devices which might work to remove the microphone as an output device. If you're looking for a fix and mor…

    "design online" is the key but not so much that the software runs in the browser, more that it allows for a different workflow. Multiple people can be working on the same thing at …
