• Show HN: 3 years and 1M users later, I just open-sourced my "Internet OS"

  To me, Puter platform has a huge potential. And as a developer, I already have large value from it. Using puter.js I was able to add full cloud storage for my design editor https://studio.polotno.com/ without messing up with auth, backend and databases. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Polotno: A completely free Canva alternative. No ads. No subscriptions.

  OP's link is...well, this one is better: https://studio.polotno.com/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Anyone know a good place where I can print this text with this font on to some decent quality t shirts? I’m from Australia and want to make around 20-30 of them

  Also I recently found this free tool for making high quality artwork: https://studio.polotno.com/. Source: over 1 year ago

• how to make a template

  Pixel Leaves has a video on how to make templates in Canva, that'll be a good place to start. And, if you wanna use a site that's completely free, her instructions work with Polotno, as well. Source: over 1 year ago

• Bringing it back to life

  I have brought a few different planners and trackers and still end up making my own. I enjoy tweaking them and switching it up, lol. And, you'd be surprised by what you could create on a site like https://studio.polotno.com. Source: over 1 year ago

• Tell HN: My Favorite Tools

  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
