I had only a vague idea what this was talking about, so I'll save everyone else some googling. "Sketch" is a Mac program for doing interface mockups: http://bohemiancoding.com/sketch/ http://bohemiancoding.com/sketch/

  Well, it's actually more of a full-on Adobe Illustrator replacement than just a mockup app.

    Ah, so it is. I was going by the big screenshot with several pages of an iPhone app and the heading "Sketch is made for UX designers like you". But it turns out if you hang around on the page longer, the header text cycles through other types of designers.

  Thanks - I had less than a vague idea. Note to developers - there's so much going on and so little time to keep abreast of everything, please consider adding just a few words about what your product/framework does.

  A $99 program.

    Worth every penny.

      Are you kidding? You could rent Adobe Illustrator for three months with that kind of money! Seriously though, it looks nice. I might grab a copy.

  Anyone interested in the state of play of designer tools, here's some recent survey results http://tools.subtraction.com/ http://tools.subtraction.com/ I don't necessarily trust the results but it might be useful for people looking to transition to design (or just looking to quickly mock something up outside of code)

Sketch is way more developer friendly than Illustrator of Photoshop. Combined with another app called Zeplin, Designers can instantly export all interface assets and specs for developers to use.

  Exactly. I'm a developer, but I try my hand desingning most of my apps. Sketch replaced Illustrator and in part Photoshop. I do all my vector graphics with it, from mockups to production assets. It's fast, easy to use and made by a small brilliant team.
