• Playing a SWF on android app

  SWF files aren't really optimized for Android. Puffin Browser is absolutely going to be your best bet, but only for flash games that are already online. You can upload them to https://starfiles.co and they'll run that way, but yeah, mobile platforms simply just will not them run that well unfortunately. Source: about 1 year ago

• Anything related to myself and Flash.

  Additionally, I'd like to give a shoutout to StarFiles for implementing Flash game functionality on their website. Source: over 1 year ago

• Trying to Keep my Old Flash Homeschool Software Alive

  Ruffle is pretty experimental in nature. Perhaps give Adobe's Projector a try. Additionally, if you don't mind, would if be an issue if I requested that you upload the files to somewhere like Starfiles and DM me a link? Source: almost 2 years ago

• Hi! I was wondering if I could have a favor with testing a game.

  As a side note by the way, Starfiles is seeking donations right now. If you can donate, even just a little bit, it would help them so much right now. Here is their Patreon. I really do rely on them for a lot of my Flash hosting right now, and being able to use it to provide you all with lots of games has really made lots of things easier. If you could donate even a little to them, it would mean so much to me right... Source: almost 2 years ago

• Can i sideload games i made? cause i dont have any certificates and stuff

  I would recommend uploading the file to https://starfiles.co/ so users can tap which signing service they use and install it quickly. Source: almost 2 years 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: 9 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
