   Figma, a versatile cloud-based design software, stands out among design tools due to its real-time collaboration feature. It caters not only to web design but also to print projects. Offering an intuitive interface and powerful features, it allows simultaneous editing, eliminating the hassle of file sharing. Figma's adaptability covers website, mobile app, and print layout design, supported by an array of customizable templates.

  Design Tools (152 EUR/month): Adobe Creative Cloud at 63 EUR, Maxon One at 50 EUR, Figma at 15 EUR, Spline at 7 EUR, Envato Elements at 17 EUR. This is where the real money goes. Adobe alone is a third of my total design spend. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• I Built 48 Lightning-Fast SVG Backgrounds That Will Make Your Web Projects Pop (And You Can Copy Them Right Now)

  I've been tracking how development teams implement these backgrounds, and the results are fascinating. Figma design teams are using them as foundation layers for mockups, reducing the time spent creating custom patterns from hours to minutes. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Use Surface Pro 4 as Input Switcher

  I've looked at OBS Remote and macrodeck.org, deckboard.app, but these are all for changing scenes on the same device. I'd like something similar to a Crestron switch panel, but on my Surface Pro 4 instead. Source: about 3 years ago

• Is making the switch from SLOBS to OBS a good idea?

  Also, if you do not have an Elgato Stream Deck, it has way more compatibility with Deckboard and MacroDeck (apps that let you use your phone as a Stream Deck). Source: about 3 years ago

• Is it possible to use a laptop as a stream deck?

  You can use MacroDeck for that. Works over the network, you'd open it in the browser of your Laptop. Cheers! :). Source: about 3 years ago

• Just finished my budget stream deck!

  If you'r ein the market for something fully free - as in: No cost and open source - I can also recommend https://macrodeck.org/. Source: about 3 years ago

• Open source StreamDeck alternative

  I know there are some alternative solutions that works with smartphones such as touch-portal and macrodeck but they have some things that I don't like. - Source: dev.to / over 3 years ago
