He gets a lot of hate but I actually enjoy listening to Van Schneider's NTMY: http://www.vanschneider.com/show/
Definitely not always design-related (and if so, it's mostly visual design) but I enjoy his interviews of entrepreneurs and freelancers. They give a glimpse of lifestyles that can sometimes be pretty inspiring and are just I think overall feel-good.
Where's that Mike Monteiro article about Bro Culture?
Congratulations on this very exciting launch!
We've discussed the new Framer Design at the company I work at and what's really missing for us is a component library in order to collaborate easily within our design team (We use Craft by Invision at the moment, it's not ideal but does a pretty good job). I think with Framer being code-based it should be even easier to build re-usable components and avoid duplicates across individual team files.
Also the second thing missing (which we haven't found anywhere else) is spec automation: turn these components into convenient hand-offs to development teams.
Are these 2 topics things you're looking into?
Can't believe they haven't hired him already.
We're still looking for a better workflow. Also we would love to drop Confluence for dev hand-offs.
I'm still waiting for the tool that does it all (and works with Sketch of course).
We currently have a main file called "Library iOS". Then each designer has its own version, for instance "Library iOS Lucas", "Library iOS Ahmed" to work in. Whenever something's final, he/she copy/pastes it in the main "Library iOS" file.
This system + Invision Craft Libraries works but it's not ideal.
I'm looking forward to seeing Abstract (git for Sketch) in action, along with the next version of Sketch.
This is really good. These PM skills also make you a better Product Designer.
Let us design inclusively in the absence of inclusive politics.
Electric. This would solve a bigger problem regardless of the interface design choice :)

Where the design community meets.
Designer News is a large, global community of people working or interested in design and technology.
Have feedback?
Library + Autolayout (i.e. if I change the height of a component, I don't want to have to re-position every instance manually).
