• Nenya Ring Designers?

  I used custommade.com for another style ring recently. I was happy with the pricing, service, design, and wait time. It will take about 3-4 weeks for them to take it from design to completion but any other service is going to be around the same turnaround time. Source: about 1 year ago

• She told me what she wants, what do I do next?

  Surprise her and do something custom. I'm making a ring right now with custommade.com and happy with the process. I've changed my mind twice and they've been super patient. Source: about 1 year ago

• Fun Idea: 20 Random Redditors Each Have a Custom Ring Made Like a "Ring of Power"

  I loved the concept. A company like custommade.com (I have no affiliation BTW) could be used to design and make each ring according to the person's preference. (Heck might even be able to get them to offer a discount to the 20 volunteers so they can do some marketing off of it). Source: about 1 year ago

• Thinking of buying diamond and ring setting separately–has anyone done this? Any tips or suggestions?

  At first I was going to have the entire ring customized through custommade.com, but after several failed CAD attempts, I truly think the ring style I want is too complex for them to replicate even after I have given them many photos and interactive videos from several different angles of the exact ring I want.

• wife wants to get remarried

  In addition to a jeweler or etsy, there are some websites that are specifically set up for custom jewelry. I used CustomMade for my fiance's ring, and we both adore how it came out. You send them various ideas and tell them what you and they walk you through the process, step by step. Source: almost 2 years ago

• 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 / 6 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: 10 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 / 12 months 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
