• 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 / 6 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

• I am Confused about Hosting.

  If you want dirt cheap hosting, do it yourself. While it may seem complicated at first, you'll learn a ton and will pay dividends later in your career. Any cloud computing provider like DigitalOcean, Linode, etc, will do. They charge less than $10 of month and can host your site without issue. You can either learn how to set up your own NGINX or Apache server or install one of the '1-click' apps and spin up a... Source: over 1 year ago

• Uploading Code to my Digital Ocean Droplet

  Another alternative is to get a pre-configured droplet from their marketplace e.g if you have a php, myslq app you would install the LAMP droplet https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/. Source: over 1 year ago

• useMindMap

  The first step was to deploy Appwrite. I've used Digital Ocean for some time and I love their single-click app marketplace. This got me a cheap droplet running Appwrite in about 5min. Using an existing domain for testing purposes I set up a subdomain for the Appwrite instance, played around with the admin console and thought "Hell yeah, this is awesome!". - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• Announcing general availability of Add-Ons on the DigitalOcean Marketplace

  In 2019, we launched the DigitalOcean Marketplace, so that builders can quickly install common software packages on DigitalOcean Droplets while giving them the flexibility to perform their own software maintenance and management. We called these solutions Droplet 1-Click Apps, and later added Kubernetes 1-Click Apps to reduce the complexity of deploying software packages to clusters.
