• 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

• Build Products that don’t SUCK

  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

• Starting Design Work in a Spreadsheet

  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

• YSK: You should stop saving your resume as "resume.pdf"

  Https://resume.io/ I got a template from this website and removed the photo. I am applying to anything that's doable with a computer, customer service and hotel business as I have experience in that. Source: over 2 years ago

• Would anyone be able to give me some resume guidance? I don't really know what I'm doing and have been making things up as I go.

  I got this design originally from resume.io but I still feel as if it's lacking. Can anyone help me out and give me some pointers? Source: over 2 years ago

• Shoutout to all the people grinding through job applications, studying for certs, interviews etc.

  I'm in no position to give advice but I felt that having a good CV and people skills definitely helped me. I used resume.io for my CV and cover letter, and can definitely recommend it. I have previously worked as a manager in a different industry and used to receive 1-2 CV's a day, a good looking CV really stands out amongst the pile of terrible ones. Also, one half of the interview which landed me my job in IT... Source: over 2 years ago

• What company’s are actively hiring work from home in the US?

  Check out https://resume.io worthwhile to pay for their services for a few months while you’re applying. Source: over 2 years ago

• You don't need a personal website (and why I no longer have one)

  LinkedIn will act as a resume (although my actual resume is now hosted on resume.io) Update LinkedIn to link back to GitHub and Dev.to profiles. Update profile to mimic Resume credentials list. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago
