Posted to Ask DN: Who's on a visa?, Jun 18, 2018 Posted to Introducing Supernova - Turn Sketch designs into native mobile apps in minutes, in reply to Jiri Trecak , Jul 19, 2017 So, for designers, the real value is to cut one (very important) step out of the developers time, which is basically rebuilding the interface into xCode? Does that make sense?
Posted to Introducing Supernova - Turn Sketch designs into native mobile apps in minutes, Jul 19, 2017 hi Jiri, I was actually just checking your website. Congrats on the lunch! Question, I watched the video, the flow looks simple, you import a Sketch file into Supernova and "code it", but how is the transition in between supernova and xCode? Do you export a file? Not sure this was clear on the video. Tks!
Posted to Any idea on who designed Hyper video app for TV/Tablet/iPhone?, in reply to Valter Simão , Jul 19, 2016 Tks!
Posted to Sketch symbols update... a step backwards?, May 06, 2016 I totally agree, so confusing.
Posted to Ask DN: What advice would you give to your younger self as you were starting out?, Apr 29, 2016 Move to the US as soon as you can.
Posted to Ask DN: Should a UX Designer have high-level skills in aesthetic UI design with PS/Sketch?, Apr 07, 2016 Hi Sammy, Knowing how to execute a good UI won't hurt you, but the opposite, it will only add to your curriculum. You can totally focus your career in UX only, a lot of companies have room for specialized designers (research, interaction, visual...) but some not, they need generalists designers, those who can understand a requirement/need and turn it into a product. I receive a lot of resumes/portfolios of product designers where the UI is not at the same level of quality as the UX part of it, and I personally dont like it. If you decided to not just solve a problem through user experience but also make it visually pleasant you must know how to use colors, typography, grids, etc...
Posted to Ask DN: MarvelApp vs InvisionApp. What is the best prototyping tool for mobile at this point?, in reply to Nathan Manousos , Jan 22, 2016 I didnt know that, awesome! Will definitely give a try.
Posted to Ask DN: MarvelApp vs InvisionApp. What is the best prototyping tool for mobile at this point?, in reply to Julian Lengfelder , Jan 22, 2016 I know, but you can run a video on the background for example, with no UI over it.
Posted to Ask DN: MarvelApp vs InvisionApp. What is the best prototyping tool for mobile at this point?, Jan 22, 2016 Pixate is pretty easy and is probably the only one that runs video. For basic prototypes, it works pretty well. I also like InVision and Marvel, but the lack of video integration is a problem for me.
