• What’s the best website to use as a timer?

  Check out hourglass if you are on Windows. It’s a simple portable timer with no fluff. Source: over 1 year ago

• how to add a timer that is counting down from a certain amount of hours that stays on the the screen and doesn't reset when laptop shuts down

  I have not used or tried this app https://chris.dziemborowicz.com/apps/hourglass/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Anybody know a good countdown timer for windows? I'd rather not use whatever web tools are out there. All I want out of it is to start the countdown over with just one click, and set my own alarm sound.

  Https://chris.dziemborowicz.com/apps/hourglass/ put your alarm sounds in C:\Program Files (x86)\Hourglass or just the local folder if you use the portable version. Source: over 2 years ago

• [Steam] Summer Sale 2021 (Day 5)

  Put a slightly less than 2hr timer (e.g. I use this https://chris.dziemborowicz.com/apps/hourglass/ but any similar would do), if you are not sure then uninstall and ask for a refund. EZ PZ. Source: about 3 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: 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 / 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
