Most apps are nothing but fast-food these days.
I see younger designers and new founders following the easy path:

Hey Marc 👋 We previously gave you the option to opt-in to share analytics with us. Now, we no longer collect these analytics, so we removed this option altogether 🙂
@sdw
This is really well written Seb.
As the acomplished designers that we are, we shouldn't just brush off the consequences that are coming to others, we need a community, not a fief.
What a Milestone! Thanks everyone at

Let's start with the core:
Our file format is open source, meaning, your design is yours, forever.
We're more focused on the quality of our tooling than any given workflow, we believe you or your team own that part of the process.
We have actual, working, color management and
It’s a great feeling to release innovative features on the Mac while we start to pave the way for all sorts of collaboration on the web, within your team and the community. We’ve got some exciting plans for Libraries in the next few releases and we can’t wait to tell you more. 😎
🤭🤭💎💎
"...Stay tuned for updates on publishing your Libraries on Cloud, approval controls for accepting updates, instant update notifications, and, soon, the ability to open source your Libraries and UI Kits with other teams and users, through improved sharing features."
Along with Smart Layout, Sketch 58 also brings Projects to the Mac app and introduces a brand new Welcome Window! Check out our latest blog post to find out more and get a sneak peek at our future plans for Libraries and Cloud.

Naturally, yes, we're not in the AI business, and until there's a framework when an AI is exclusively focused on training on your data to help you alone, we won't make a move.

Not sure what’s worse, assuming Ive was responsible for all decisions in such huge design department or the writer not knowing that probably, Ive, was still part of the team who designed todays and to come Apple products?
We've published a major update to how you can view documents on the iPhone, and now...
On the iPad as well!
Congrats to our iOS team (fantastic work folks) but also... sound on please, you owe it to

fantastic video!
We’ve reimagined our View & Mirror app for a larger Canvas.
That's right! If you have a subscription and a Workspace, you can now view documents and test prototypes on your iPad. Plus, we’ve added offline mode and local file support 📱
Update the app:
Did you know that in Sketch you can invite as many guests to your document to edit alongside you, and we won't charge extra, unlike, say Figma does enthusiastically? If they already pay for Sketch themselves, then collaborating with them is free!

Yeah, there's a ton of potential on applicable improvements to workflow, and we are as willing as anyone else to improve the user experience of editing, but we draw the line at data, user data is user data, period.

My second gesha this year, and this one is really good, nicely balanced acidity, a lot of personality!

Sadly “design twitter” is still a thing, lets keep my status as yet to be canceled, haha. However, for me, from my experience, last years there’s too much a focus on tooling expertise and little to no personal development.
20 years ago, Mac OS X went on sale kicking off a transition that is the foundation of Apple today and has interesting parallels to the Mac’s current transition. I take a look back on
