• Tell HN: My Favorite Tools

  A few apps that are a joy to use: https://ia.net/writer for writing. https://usecontrast.com/ for checking contrast. https://sipapp.io/ for picking colors. https://nova.app/ for editing code. https://cleanshot.com/ for screenshots. https://getpixelsnap.com/ for measuring elements on screen. https://netnewswire.com/ for reading things via RSS. https://panic.com/transmit/ for file transfers. https://usefathom.com/... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Ask HN: Best UI design courses for hackers?

  I think the best practical approach for designing UIs is to download (and buy) Balsamic[0] and use that to design UIs. Cut through the nonsense of colours and pixels in the first instance and just lay things out logically and simply. [0] https://balsamiq.com. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

  Create a low-fidelity mockup or wireframe of your MVP using tools like Balsamiq, Sketch, or Figma. Or use an easier-to-use tool like Uizard, which also has text-to-design capabilities. Source: 11 months ago

  Just for drawing mock app screens, I have found Balsamiq[0] to be pretty good (you can do a bunch of stuff with the trial version itself). Not affiliated with them in any way. [0]: https://balsamiq.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Is there software for building out copywriting for a website?

  Balsamiq has been pretty good for me so far. It's super bare-bones so it's better for copy mockups than actual UX design. It's also a lot easier than Figma. Note that you don't have to use the default comic sans, but I do because it's funny. Source: over 1 year ago

• The Swipe Files Strategy for Part Time Creators

  Wow, look at you! Email newsletter, Auth, Storage, Community... you're starting to need some serious software now around your swipe file, and you STILL need to figure out your social media distribution. You don't HAVE to have a separate platform — I often use my own Twitter as a flexible social Swipe File, and Little Big Details is a Swipe File hosted on Tumblr with distribution, storage, and social features built... - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago

• TIL that the entry fee for Hammond's Jurassic Park (from the first movie) was supposed to be 550 $

  That sort of UI deserves a mention on Little Big Details. Source: almost 3 years ago

  I don't believe it's updated anymore, but there was an entire website dedicated to this.[1] [1]: https://littlebigdetails.com. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago
