Which design tool do you use?

Figma, but I miss the good ol‘ Sketch days.

By far Figma !

I‘d like to share the following.

When I switched from Sketch to Figma, even though the latter tool is objectivelly better, I found myself being slower to design. Then I realised that just because Sketch has less options, those restrictions allow me to do the job faster.

This conclusion is based on the complexity of work I‘ve been doing, which was websites and simple web apps. If I were to do very complex web apps that require constant design system maintenance, of course, Figma would win.

An app for Indiemaker would be awesome! Who agrees?

Hard to decide. I‘m fine without one. But perhaps because I‘m old schooler.

That‘s why I decided to click the button “Submit your vote” withouth giving a vote, and guess what @Jamie, I discovered a bug. You should check it out. 😊 Perhaps the button should be disabled by default.

2 suggestions for @Jamie 

1. It would be nice to add @... users tagging to comments.

2. I can't see the amount of poll votes

Tagging is a little more complex but doable, I went for a super simple approach for the polls, mainly focusing on the percentage winner. If you hover over the percentage on each poll option there's a tooltip that shows the number of votes that option has.

Agreed though, it's not ideal that it's not visible and you would need to count to get to a total number of votes. I'll add some improvements to the to-do list. 🙂

I'm thrilled to be an early member of the community! Who's listening to me?

Thank you, Jamie! It's essentially a shortcut to clear and read all notifications. Perhaps I can display it differently, like a link button at the bottom of the list. I appreciate your feedback.

No worries at all, happy to help! 🙌

Welcome to the community, Talha! I love this design; it's so clean! 

Very clean design, nice work Talha! 🔥

One small question, what do the 2 ticks at the top right represent? I'm guessing read status (similar to WhatsApp), and it will have an alternate state. Is that correct?
