...Just digging in / 30-day trial / $79 to upgrade from Coda 2.
Love Panic.ideaist - Panic is great, glad this is finally outGnash
- ^ It's (of course) a lot of fun and will get better and better as the community gets involved. Is there a better thread to post this in?ideaist
- I've used Coda/Coda 2 since they launched so I'll be all over this.evilpeacock

Re-learnt how to code html, css, etc. on Coda 1.0.
Memories...ideaist - I use Atom, it's great and free.dbloc

- Oh i LOVE that starfield, and how they deploy it as the page scrolls, on the Nova homepage.Nairn
- Atom is great and I used it for a bit.
My buddy who's a CTO uses VIM @section_014 BUT hipsters used Panic product(s).
I like their style...ideaist - ...BUT obviously not for everyone.ideaist
- VS Code is though to beat these days, it's free, extendable, huge community - Nova is a tough sell for mespot13
- Agree spot. Panic make quality products but VS code + a couple extensions does all this for free.sausages
- Yep, VS Code for me too.Sellies
- Been with Coda since 2008, great app. Been looking forward to Nova for a while, can't wait to dive in!elahon

Did you know about Alt-click in the Illustrator pathfinder???
Fuck you illustrator for hiding this, when you've got 50 useless pathfinder buttonshttps://www.instagram.com/p/C4YN…

2021 (UX/UI) Design Tools Survey:
https://uxtools.co/survey-2021- It's nice to know I know nothing about the current state of my/our industry!
Lolz.ideaist - So basically Figma rules the market. Cool.grafician
- Miromonospaced
- How long before Adobe acquires Figma?utopian
- ^ what a kick in the nuts that would be. They've got XD so hopefully they sink more money in that instead.MondoMorphic
- < from this I take Adobe XD is barely used by Win users that can't use Sketch and are not into Figma as a team
Barely any market for XDgrafician - Adobe can't buy Figma, Figma is already a unicorngrafician
- Yeah, i had the same take on it grafician. I think at some point in the past couple of years the window on an acquisition kinda closed...exador1
- Figma has grown so big and become so popular, they KNOW they can go it alone without having to sell to adobe...exador1
- 2201babydick
- @babydick OH LOLgrafician
- goto here:
https://patents.just…
then here:
https://patents.just…
and tell me who buys licenses from who.sted - +you have to buy a few from here 2:
https://patents.just…sted - its not worth buying just for the user-base, they have a better deal on renting the idea of the color picker hehhsted
- who buys licenses from who?grafician
- @sted guess everybody should pay Figma for inventing multiplayer for design apps then?
I don't get your point, you a developer by any chance?grafician - https://www.figma.co…grafician
- that is 1 feature. first of all every single feature in modern applications is patented in some way. owners license these patents so you can build your own appsted
- with features that are already developed. if you don't understand this then there is no ground for further discussion at this level for me.sted
- lol that is THE featuregrafician
- here this guy rebuilt Photoshop in the browser https://www.photopea…
Wondering how many billions he paid to Adobe for patents hmmmmgrafician - you came for the slap again, here is the read:
https://news.ycombin…sted - and Box, Inc. owns the patent for the collaborative image editing Figma uses for this solution.sted
- so Figma is not paying Adobe is paying Box for the patents? Make up your mind thengrafician
- Anyway getting back on track, Figma is by far the most used design app AND is not being bought by Adobe anytime soon.
Facts. Bye.grafician - facts is that most of your knowledge is based on faulty theses and google search.sted
- fact is that there is no note by me stating Figma buying anything from Adobe.
I made an assumption in the conversation.sted - Adding something what is an important for these types of deals.sted
- What assumptions, you burst into this discussion implying some crazy patents bullshit lol
Get a grip sted baby, Figma numbaaaa oneee!grafician - Also just because you're a programmer or something doesn't mean we should take you seriously
@sted you're this guy:
https://i.imgflip.co…grafician - https://www.dictiona…sted
- Is that from the color book your mother gave you last christmas? Its a shame that you're still incapable of painting it. does she knows?sted
- well it's a nice day, the voice of all europeans- crypstockmarketking- multiagencyceo thinks i'm a something. ahaha meds, take your meds.sted
- Wtf are you even talking about?!
You tried to flex your muscles knowing some shit about patents lol
You were wrong go home
Ah wait you can't you got deportedgrafician - See, I told you to take your meds, you're still delusional. You can't even understand a reaction to your own notes or remember the bs u claimed before.sted
- bro you're desperate for attention? follow the damn notes, nobody asked you anything lol
you got in with those crazy patents notesgrafician - SO I'm asking again: who buys licenses from who?!
It's whom probably but your English is not your native tongue
Answer that :)grafician - Go on sted tell us is Figma or anybody buying licenses for anything from Adobe? Do you have any proof of that? Links?
If not, stfu and never bother us againgrafician - let me go down to your level: so you're the one who started making cynical notes, and started this whole bullshit again about my reaction on utopians note.sted
- heres link forya:
https://www.qbn.com/…sted - Let me just ask you ONE MORE TIME: from whom is Figma buying any licenses for their app?
Do you know that?grafician - got your link? you can read? and can you add something except these ridiculous demands and the usual insults? no.
this conversation is over from my end.sted - you linked a 17 years ago patent suit between Macromedia and Adobe. What THAT have to do with Figma or anything related to this fucking post?!
Explaingrafician - IF it does not, then stfu and stop posting bullshit around here trying to stir fights for no reasonsgrafician
- so is sketch irrelevant now?hotroddy

No file previews.PhanLo - wow his work is amazingBennn
