Hey there again! I found myself coming to you because you were great help last time. I have a tiny question. Apple has a New York font that they seem to promote on their website, can i use that font in the application i am creating? Or is it only to be used in mock ups
Hell again W N! Short answer no, long answer = As far as I know, you can only use Apple type-faces for mockups that depict a design on an apple device, not for use as a web-font on your website or in a design that doesn't relate to Apple in any way. Because of this I have chosen Inter as the type-face for the new version of my design system. It looks very similar to San Fransisco and it's free to use for anything.
Hi Bas. In what way? Marketshare? Features? Completely kill the other design apps? All 3 of those are subjective depending on the individual or organisation using it and what they're trying to achieve. Let's focus on Sketch and Figma and I'll talk about the real-world experiences I've had trying to onboard both of them in startups and larger organisations. - Startups: Have more freedom to try things out, have fewer security requirements from a third-party vendor, have smaller teams, still need to focus on delivery and uptime. - Larger Orgs: Take longer to adopt or transition to other tools, have more security requirements, larger often siloed teams, velocity, and delivery focussed so need close to 100% uptime. - I used to work at a Bank. Sketch and Abstract passed their security assessments and partnered with our procurement team to onboard and scale our design efforts. This made Figma a risky proposition as it didn't pass our security assessment and more importantly, doesn't work 100% offline. - I now work in a Telco. We wanted to bring Figma into the fold but again, it failed their security assessment and also didn't provide bulk license discounts. Personally, I use Sketch because from my own use over the years it's always been dependable and I can just get on with what I'm doing without losing a connection to it when I'm trying to design on a train or the wifi goes down at work and we have to use our phones as hot-spots or dodgy wifi dongles. Now with that said, I love both of them and use them for different things because there are some differences between the two that I really like. I'm currently building a commercial-grade design system for Sketch/Figma/Adobe XD that I'll be releasing in the first half of this year so my goal here is that no matter what you like to use or what your company uses, you'll be able to design more efficiently and hopefully develop faster as well. Finally, I ask myself this question... "If I can now collaborate in Sketch, why would I need Figma?" There's plenty of reasons, just like there is if you ask yourself "If I can collaborate in Figma, why would I need Sketch?. Sounds like a good idea for a video so thanks for the inspiration 🙂.
@@ChristopherDeane thanks for your answer. I saw this post ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_KvKB03n9W8.html where figma destroyed all others tools. I think browser based software is something you will see more and more. I stil use sketch and prototype in InVision and hate it i have to login every time to use craft.
I like the UI of sketch over Figma, but the ability to collaborate on Sketch is severely lacking. No web interface other than to view docs. No html markup like Zeplin. They say you can exchange your license for a team license, but you have to have a team license first in order to ask to make the exchange. Pretty frustrating so far. Was excited to use Sketch again, but this is kind of a fail.
Live collab is coming in Sketch 71 and the inspect feature in Sketch for Teams is slowly getting better. We use Sketch/Abstract at work and in a side project I’m using Figma as that is what they use. I guess that makes me lucky 🙂.
