Flow looks like transatlantic connection with epicenter in Europe

Here's my feedback. As a part of a small startup team, I used Jira for years before Github issues and Slack were there.

The company I work at right now still uses Atlassian's trio Jira + Hipchat + Bitbucket. They are great tools with lots of features but Jira's productivity is much slower compared to Github issues and Hipchat offers a poor user experience compared to Slack.

Productivity apps are never in top 10 on app store. The efforts you spent building your app did not pay, but I don't think you should blame app store for that. I would suggest not to take it as a failure of the mobile app concept. Learn form your experience and think about what you can improve.

I agree. I used "favorites" to bookmark something interesting, to be able to find the information if no time to read. But putting to favorite doesn't mean I like the content. I can favourite a tweet with a link to some bad news, such as shutting down a business, economy getting worse etc. I don't really "like" the tweet, it's just a interesting fact and I want to bookmark it as "favorite".

Material UI 12 years ago

I like the animations, inputs are really what I need today for my UI designs. Checkboxes have different styles in Chrome and Safari. Safari checkboxes look a bit weird as in unchecked mode a rotated green tick is displayed inside a checkbox, and in checked mode one of the tick's lines extends horisontally. In Chrome the checkbox looks really nice though.

A phone for messy people? Why put so much junk in the video to defocus viewer's attention?

Easy to jailbreak and then MxTube is incredibly useful. Not only does it play any video without crashing, it can save them.

Tried it out, one star rating does not work for me.

Google Web Designer 13 years ago

Agree. The name should not give false illusions about the product. "Google Ad Designer" sounds better along with Google AdWords

Last week I switched my project to customized Bootstrap 3. It has lots of useful features compared to previous version and it has a flat UI look and feel. In your example, I would use a larger side margin around the text. Otherwise, it lacks a bit of spacing.

Discovering Sketch 13 years ago

I discovered Sketch about a year ago, and I should say it keeps getting better comparing to Illustrator. There are still some operations I can't do in Sketch, but it is the fastest and the lightest app to design UI such as http://dribbble.com/shots/1111784-iOS-7-icons-redesign/attac.... It took me few hours to redesign a whole iOS7 icon set in Sketch. Last months I use Illustrator to convert files to SVG to work on them in Sketch. The sad thing is that it works on Mac only and is not adopted by the designer community yet.

Has anybody considered compiling and using Zimbra for himself ;) ?
