• 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 / 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

• SD Webui New extension - Canvas Editor

  Just I mentioned in the description, I am using PolotnoJS which needs its api key, people can generate free api key for non-commercial purposes(what I included now), but it also has paid license. In fact, I never try a paid license. You can refer PolotnoJs here https://polotno.com if you’re interested. Source: about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Side project of more that $2k monthly revenue what's your project?

  I am building Polotno SDK (https://polotno.com/). It a mix of SaaS and paid javascript library and react components. It is a design editor that you can integrate into your web app. From the first paying customer it took around 1 year to get 2000 MRR. And I spent around 9 months on making first version before the first paying customer. It took me a very long time to find the idea of SDK. Previously I was thinking... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• The Journey of building Print-On-Demand Editor

  3.the nice I tool I found was Poltono Poltono Means Canvas in Russian you can view its docs from here. Poltono is built with canvas it offers SDK and studio editor(like react-design-editor) but is easy to integrate and customize. So I moved from React-design-editor and Fabric JS to Konva JS and Poltono and I moved poltono to this you can see the video from hereand btw you can see poltono editor from here:... - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• Any examples of working activist, socialist, or community-organizing software?

  You should/could: - help nextcloud in having a more stable sync function because often people lose edits - help developing https://penpot.app (figma alternative) or https://polotno.com (Canva alternative) because right now we have no ready alternatives - also helping element/matrix in being more discord like would be useful - another useful thing would be helping in making Jitsi less buggy.

• How do I make Design Templates like Canva Templates that are unique but can be modified & exported as an image? Should I use Canvas or WebGL?

  Hello. I am creator of the Design Editor SDK https://polotno.com/ and its sandbox application https://studio.polotno.com/. You will see that in terms of the functionality it is very similar to canva.com. The app is made with React, Konva, react-konva and blueprint (css framework). Source: almost 2 years ago
