   Saves hours of time and increases posting rates

   To be honest, it's taken me a while to get to like Tailwind but I'm a subscriber now. Over the past couple of years there have been siginifcant improvements and I'm now able to quickly and easily post immediately and schedule posts to Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook pages. Previously I found the process to time consuming and monotonoous to do so manually, so the Tailwind dashboard is the answer for me. I have a lot of photos that I've taken over the years and I can now get them uploaded and ready to post with minimal effort.

   There's also a basic email marketing facility. OK, it doesn't have all the functions and features you'll see in Mailchimp but for people who want something basic when they're still growing their list, it's good to have this bundled in. Mailchimp can be expensive if your list isn't yet generating enough income to pay for itself.

   👍 Pros:    Clear and intuitive dashboard|Mailing list feature included|Support queries quickly answered

   👎 Cons:    Mailing list feature is limited in functions

• 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
