• How to avoid magic numbers?

  There's a whole idea of design system in frontend development, you can learn that more here: https://storybook.js.org/tutorials/design-systems-for-developers/ (I actually haven't read them, it's just one of the first result google gave me, but I know and use storybook.js and I can recommend their tool for creating a robust design system.

• Creating a design system using Vanilla Extract CSS

  ℹ️ This article goes deep into design system foundational topics like tokens, themes, variants. If you aren’t sure what some of these are, I’d check out a guide or tutorial that covers those. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• Storybook gives you unit tests, but for UI

  Storybook is a really good tool for building design systems. Ideally you'll want to distribute them library through npm. Here's a tutorial for it: https://storybook.js.org/tutorials/design-systems-for-developers/. Source: almost 3 years ago

  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 / 5 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 / 11 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
