Till frukostkaffet idag passade vi pÄ skriva och skicka ivÀg ett nyhetsbrev med boktips. SÄ hÀr börjar det:

TvĂ„ nĂ€tter i rad har det bĂ€ddats ute pĂ„ altanen. Vi har krupit ner under tĂ€ckena, tittat pĂ„ vampyrfilm och avrundat med varsin ljudbok – I Was a Teenage Slasher och Moonbound. Det har varit Ă€kta sommarlovsmys. En fladdermus fladdrade i trĂ€dkronorna och ett rĂ„djur skĂ€llde i skumrasket.

FortsĂ€ttningen finns pĂ„ webben och om du gillar’t ska du förstĂ„s börja prenumerera. 📚

@jden Hmm, do you mean an explanation of the source code? No, I'm afraid not. There’s the getting started documentation, which is linked in the top post of this conversation. I’ve also detailed parts of the implementation in the past, through my posts and replies on my blog and over at the help center.

Yes! 💯 Your tools should work for you. Don’t feed your scissors! Chris, on today’s ShopTalk Show 36 minutes in:

You know, I basically got this from Alex, who I work with, who feels this way about tools and brings it up, or at least has many times, is that like tools are for you.

Like you use this tool so the tool can help you. Like I use scissors so I can cut through a piece of paper, but if I woke up and my scissors were like, feed me, I’d be like, no, you’re a weird scissors.

@thelovebing I'm afraid not, you would have to combine it with a service like Fontstand or Monotype Fonts. I can't vouch for either of them, as I license fonts directly the old-fashioned way.

@thelovebing Do you need alternatives for all the 20+ tools in Adobe's suite? If not, Affinity might be a contender. Cherry-picking your own suite is another way to go. At my previous firm, designers got shit done using Sketch and Pixelmator. They are designers with a hacker mindset, though, so tools don't really matter that much. Give them a stick or a bit of charcoal, and they will design for you.
