• What you guys use to process data? Excel? r? python?

  Process as to retrieve the interesting bits? AWK and grep. Process as in curve fitting? fityk. Process as in running statistical tests? past4. But very often, it is not an "either a), or b)" but a combination of "a) and b)". Source: over 1 year ago

• can anyone guide me how to download X'pert Highscore software? I don't know how to download..

  On the other hand - your question does not share what you eventually intend to do - if you want to plot the PXRD recorded to perform a baseline correction, pick the peaks, export the data, etc. Fityk may be an interesting tool equally useful outside crystallography (J. Appl. Cryst. 2010, 43, 1126-1128, DOI 10.1107/S0021889810030499 with 1.8k+ citations so far.) It runs on Linux, Windows, Mac; its actions can be... Source: over 1 year 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
