This article misses a few key details.

Sketch is the pioneering product in this space, but as a fully native Mac app, its developers have no intent (or capability) to port it to Windows.

In corporate environments which are mixed OS or Windows-only, this becomes a liability, and Sketch only has a rudimentary web app for downloading design assets (for developers), not a full browser-based design app.

This is why Figma is valuable: Anyone can use it as long as they have an up-to-date OS and browser.

Being a cloud-first system means teams stay synced nearly instantaneously with shared ‘design component’ libraries, which ensures that all team members’ designs get automatically updated when changes are made to those components, which is huge.

Previously, with Adobe products intended mostly for print workflows, this meant a lot of tedious manual updating of every single design file - leading to errors, outdated items being left in, and incomplete or inaccurate documentation being handed over to the development team. And this often meant if something was already developed based on an outdated design, there’s no budget to go back and fix it. Figma (and Sketch) provide a single source of truth for all teams.

Adobe’s XD product is ok, but it doesn’t have Figma’s design system / team-focused approach and Adobe’s cloud UI is clunky at best. Honestly the best thing for Adobe would be to Figma-ize their other products.

How to make your iPhone’s wallpaper a rotating gallery of good vibes

Samar Haddad / The Verge With iOS 16’s overhaul of lock screen customization, Apple introduced a feature that lets you choose a shuffling set of pictures for your wallpaper.

Elon Musk defends his title as ‘technoking’ of Tesla, but not Twitter CEO

Illustration by Laura Normand / The Verge Apparently, Elon Musk doesn’t want to be CEO of any company. Or so he claimed in testimony at a trial Wednesday challenging his giant compensation package at Tesla. Musk, who is the CEO of multiple companies, including most recently, Twitter, was answering questions from lawyers representing Tesla when he made the offhand comment. “I frankly don’t want to…

Vitoni is a new ready-to-drink light aperitif inspired by traditional Italian spritz of the 1950s. Made only with white wine and tonic water, its authentic taste is perfect to be enjoyed as the lighter alternative to usual spritz. As part of our strategic consultancy we formulated a straightforward insight: @vitoni.spritz values lightness above all: lightness of spirit, of heart and of taste. This concept allowed us to better define the brand essence and its positioning on the market as the Aperitivo Leggero Italiano (the Light Italian Aperitif).

After this analytical preliminary phase, made in close collaboration with the client, we synthesized Vitoni’s identity and core values into visual and verbal expressions. The label presents the vintage heritage of the brand, presenting it to a young audience sensitive to design, health, authenticity and quality. The simple and clean design, with a touch of retrò aesthetic, creates a bold personality that stands out in today’s crowded communication landscape.

Tumblr: Social Media. You are in control of the content you see. No pressure to have real names or photos. You CAN be a content creator on tumblr, but the site is just as enjoyable and usable if you’re only here to hangout.

Twitter: Marketing Media. The site itself is in control of the content you see. Lots of pressure to have real names/photos. You are encouraged to be a content creator, to constantly be hustling and monetizing. If you aren’t doing that, the site becomes overwhelming and hostile because everyone else IS doing that.

And as a content creator? I’d pick Social Media over Marketing Media any day of the week. I EARNED these followers. Y’all are here because you WANT to be, because you actually LIKE my content, not just because you’re chasing numbers and engagement and trying to appease some algorithm to boost your own content. Tumblr followers would follow me into hell. Twitter followers would sell me for one cornchip.
