• Thinking of switching from photoshop to affinity

  I switch in 2014 and never went back. The learning curve is something you need to be aware of and also the fact you need to buy other apps as well. For example I have these apps accompanying my Affinity suite: Hype4, Pixelmator and Art Text plus a free app that is a Figma alternative called Penpot. Why?

• Ask HN: Are there things that Flash did that we still can’t do with today’s web?

  I keep hoping that we’ll be able to package Flash-grade animations as WASM and send them out as a single file (or as two files, one for a Haxe-like runtime and another for the game or animation). But since there is no real standard authoring tool (and nobody mentions those, or the ease of use the Flash “IDE” had) I don’t have much hope.

• Best website to write a rulebook for ttrpgs

• Easy software to bubble part darwings?

  You'll need inkscape. It's free at inkscape.org. Affinity Designer can do the same job. It's $70 at https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/designer/. Source: about 1 year ago
