For anyone who does not understand why it always shows a QR code and a "Download from app store" buttons, there is a close button on top right corner to close that modal. Not sure it was a great idea to always show that modal, it took me a while to figure out that I can close it, I thought it's an ios app...

#92I really don't understand how this product can be called Sketch in good conscience. Sketch is already a disruptive gorgeous product that has changed ux and digital design. It should be respected and given room to breathe. Change the name of your product.
We think the products are so different that people won't get confused but if it turns out to be a problem, we'll figure something out. Sketch the design tool is great. We use it.

#94And of course, I am left out of the fun. Why did I have to buy a Windows Phone...

#95Change the name fellas. Sketch is a brand new tool that's about to replace Photoshop for almost all web design work.
Unless you were doing wireframes in Photoshop.

Personally, I didn't understand how a chat app for software developers could in good conscience be called 'Slack'.
A very very long time ago, SB created a social game called GNE (Game Neverending). The game (and it's participants, of whom I was one) were somewhat whimsical.
Based on this, I believe the reference to "slack" is a reference to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_SubGenius
("Slack" is "the ability to effortlessly achieve your goals")
But I could be wrong! "Slack" (also known as float) is also something you build into a project to help minimise the risk of failure: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_(project_management)
Maybe we will never know.

This is Expo Sketch though. You can't use it without Expo. It's like complaining about the "Native" part in React Native.

Brand new? And no, I don't think so. Sketch is awesome but it isn't a substitute for work that you would do in Photoshop. Unless you were doing wireframes in Photoshop.

I'm just imagining describing the Sketch/Sketch workflow to a non-technical manager... ;)
How about calling it "Expo Studio" or "Expo Easel", which have similar connotations?
