ggenoyam | 4 years ago | on: Apple added an orange dot that’s a showstopper for live visuals

About 10 years ago, I had a job with one of the largest outdoor advertising companies in Times Square, running several huge LED displays, including one that used a camera feed for interactive experiences with the audience. I don’t know too much about the specifics, but at the time I worked there, all of their screens, including the one that used a camera for AR stuff, were driven by Mac Pro towers running OS X.

So while I can’t say if this is still the case or not, in 2012 many of the times sq billboards were being driven by macs.

Some of it probably has to do with the file itself not being clearly organized, some of it is probably how Figma selects groups.

Where I work, we started to mark the spaces with spacer elements, which look like boxes that have the number of pixels on them. It felt like a waste of time after using Zeplin, but it’s just much easier to see the measurements at a glance and doesn’t require the engineers to measure everything themselves. As a designer, it saves me time because I don’t have to answer as many questions or spend as much time on the design QA feedback loop.

It doesn’t. Overall its plugins are very limited compared to sketch.

I was forced to switch to it and I miss all of my plugins, but I have to say the sharing and commenting features are so much more useful/seamless than the Sketch/Zeplin combo I used to use. So even though it’s a worse design tool, my productivity is better because of the seamless collaboration.
