I use this library is nearly every project I work on these days. The API is well-documented, and easy to parse.
10/10.
Omg I LOVE Cushion. Best app I’ve ever used for time tracking, project tracking, invoicing, and team collaboration.
I’ve been using it since the beginning of this year, and couldn’t imagine running my freelance business without it.
Designing a product and designing a logo (branding) are two different skillsets.
I'm a huge fan of Gulp + Metalsmith + Netlify.
Metalsmith is "pluggable" with a ton of community support/engagement. I've built my own static site generator from a variety of plugins to fit the individual needs of the sites I develop.
Question: Do you have plans to offer insurance in the US?
I recently switched from FreshBooks (used for ~1 year) to Cushion, and am loving it.
I send invoices out at the end of the month or the end of a project depending on the circumstances.
+1 for gulp-iconfont.
This is correct answer.

Amazing. Thank you so much for your work—it really makes a difference in the lives of many digital professionals.
One thing I’ve noticed about build tools like this is that I’m much more likely to adopt it when I can easily find a wrapper for my workflow-of-choice (e.g. gulp, grunt, webpack). In your specific instance, I’d also recommend a plugin for imagemin.
And don’t forget about all the static site generators out there too—it would go a long ways to have plugins for each one (e.g. Jekyll, Metalsmith, Hugo). https://www.staticgen.com/ is a great resource for learning more.
