Raise your hand if you’ve stopped eating anywhere that asks you if you have ‘the app’ before you order. ✋
Does it bug anyone else that the humans in the Avatar movies refer to the Na’vi as “people”…the collective noun for humans?
🌶️ Hot take: When UI designers say that certain colors, font styles, or layouts cause “eye strain”, it sounds the same as when TikTok influencers talk about the “toxic chemicals” in your bagels.
It’s horse shit. 💩

GPT 5 is impressive in a number of ways, but it’s also not very useful in a practical sense.
It’s very very bad at writing fairly simple code.
The tables have turned for software designers and developers.
It’s now faster to write code than it is to draw screens.
I had Grok create a scoring rubric and analyze the most influential neo Nazi voices in modern media. These were the top 10.

You won't be switching from Sketch to Figma in 2025.
If anything, it'll be the other way around.
For starters, when it comes to price and features (flex layout coming soon) it doesn't make sense.
But you also CAN'T do it:
The .sketch file importer in Figma completely garbles the files and makes them unusable.
What was once the main thing leading people to switch, combined with bad pricing, bad policies, bad privacy and forced features seems to be another nail in the coffin.
Importing a .fig file into Sketch actually works way better.
Seems like this will be the way.

2024 has been an incredible year for us and it wouldn’t have been possible without your support 💛 Here’s a round-up of this year’s highlights — and a glimpse of what’s coming in 2025.

What are we doing in 2025 at @sketch?
Right in the first months, you can expect:
- Stack Layout (@framer are the OG on stack/auto-layout, so we believe calling it stacks fitting)
- Frames (well, same reasoning as above, @figma nailed the implementation)
- Lots of minor improvements, which IMO is what makes Sketch the best editor experience out there for years already.
We're also still at work on something completely new...
(more on that once we ship the good stuff...)
