Posted to Why You Should Never Use Pure Black for Text or Backgrounds, in reply to Marc Edwards , May 18, 2018 Interesting, didn’t know about the response times on OLED, do you have a practical example of that? Like a site or app or something where you can see that happening? Obviously i’ll check it out on an iPhone X and an OLED TV :) Thanks!

Posted to Why I left Sketch + Invision like a old sock. (or why I love Figma), in reply to Christian Behrens , May 03, 2017 I've been using Figma for a while and recently tried to push it a bit with a shared library of 20 or so components and found it does indeed not cope well with a lot of stuff managed across multiple projects at this point (sync issues, performance problems, bugs). The shared library is in beta though. But with the testing I've done I'd say it's cool for small projects not for anything large scale at this point, especially if you're attracted by the shared library features like I was. However, it's currently free so I'd suggest you try some stress tests of your own to make up your own mind, results may vary :) Overall I'm very excited about the potential of Figma and hope to one day replace a lot of my current workflow with it (Sketch, Dropbox, Craft, Zeplin, etc).
