   Powerful design platform with great usability

   Canva is one of the most accessible design platforms available today. It significantly lowers the barrier to creating presentations, social graphics, marketing materials, and even short videos.

   The interface is intuitive, especially for non-designers. Templates are well organized, and collaboration features make it practical for teams.

   Strengths: - Very easy to use - Large template library - Strong collaboration tools - Fast cloud-based workflow

   Limitations: - Advanced layout control is sometimes restricted - Heavier projects can feel limited compared to professional desktop tools

   Overall, Canva succeeds at simplifying design for everyday creators while maintaining enough flexibility for professional use cases.

   🏁 Competitors: Google Docs, Notion, Smallpdf, Adobe Express

   Easy and Versatile Design Tool — Great for Quick Projects

   I’ve been using Canva for everything from social media graphics to presentations and simple flyers, and it’s one of the most accessible design tools I’ve encountered. The drag-and-drop interface makes it really easy to produce clean, visually appealing designs even if you don’t have a background in graphic design. The huge template and asset library means I rarely start from scratch.

   It integrates well with cloud storage and collaborative editing, which makes working with team members or clients straightforward. For quick turnaround projects, Canva gets me from idea to finished design in minutes — no steep learning curve.

   That said, some of the better assets and premium features (like certain templates, background removers, and export options) are locked behind Canva Pro, which adds ongoing cost. And while Canva is excellent for basic to intermediate design, it doesn’t replace professional tools like Adobe Illustrator or InDesign when you need fine-tuned control or advanced features.

   Overall, Canva is a fantastic tool for fast, easy design work — especially for non-designers

   👍 Pros:    Extremely user-friendly drag-and-drop design interface.

   👎 Cons:    Ome useful features and assets are locked behind the pro plan.

• Why I traded my custom "Opinionated Linux" for Omarchy

  I've been using Omarchy as my main setup since June 26, 2025, the day DHH released the first version. Before that I had my own custom Opinionated Linux, mclovin-ARCHived: an Arch + i3wm installer set up exactly the way I liked. It was total control over the OS: me deciding what goes in, keeping every piece (i3wm, polybar, picom, kitty, dotfiles) up to date and making sure they all talked to each other for the... - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Omarcacca

  Then few years back, in 2015, I got shown i3wm and used it on my ubuntu-netinstall until 2020, then I switched to Budgie and my personal laptop has been using that ever since. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

• Automatic Visual Feedback for System Volume Change in I3wm via Dunst

  I switched to the i3 tiling based window manager. Because it's a whole different environment and thinking, it was very different from what I was used to. The volume buttons were working on my keyboard, but I didn't get any visual feedback. Furthermore, the volume percentage could go down below zero and increase up to more than hundread percent. There were times when I was confused why the keys stopped working, but... - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• "We understand" ;)

  This is partially why I use tools like i3 (/ sway). I like the tool; it works extremely well for me; the design has stayed the same for 20 years; there's no profit motive to come along and fuck everything up. It just works. It is boring in the best way possible. Source: over 2 years ago

• what machines have you used for development, and what do you prefer?

  I use MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid-2014) with Manjaro as OS using i3 as a window manager. It isn't perfect, but I'm thrilled with it. I have been a Mac OS user for the last 15 years and wouldn't change what I have now for a Mac OS because I don't need more than what I'm using for development. Source: about 3 years ago

• CSS is Emotional: z-index and the Hierarchy of Needs

  Imagine shuffling papers on a desk. Even though the desk is flat, papers stack in layers—some on top, others below. That's exactly what z-index does on websites. If you're familiar with tools like Canva, PowerPoint, Photoshop, or Figma, you know this feature as "Send to Back" or more accurately, "Arrange" or "Position". - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• My tech stack for startups in 2025

  I'm continuing to use Adobe's Creative Cloud. Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere Pro are tools that I already know my way around so I'm keeping those close. I know that many people love how quick and easy it is to get something done with tools like Canva or Figma. I think whatever you are comfortable with and enables you to move fast you should keep using. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
