Change the name fellas. Sketch is a brand new tool that's about to replace Photoshop for almost all web design work.
- NathanCH 10y agoBrand new? And no, I don't think so. Sketch is awesome but it isn't a substitute for work that you would do in Photoshop. Unless you were doing wireframes in Photoshop.
- arctangent 10y agoThe designer producing work for my team is using Sketch and it looks really good to me.
- PStamatiou 10y agoI'm a designer at Twitter and our design team has been using Sketch for UI design for the last few years. I believe the same situation occurs at FB and many other design teams unless doing very particular photo work or iconography/illustration.
- NathanCH 10y agoI don't disagree with that. I also work at Twitter and use Sketch. I'm just saying that Sketch is not a substitute for Photoshop. It never was, nor should be. You completely misunderstood me.
- sadok 10y agoSketch is already used in 60% of all the tech industry, while Photoshop and others sit in the 40%. Sorry.
- gk3 10y agolol
- dyarosla 10y agoThis was also the first thing I thought. Sketch is a well-known (artistic) design tool. I'm sure you fellas already know that but decided to stick with it anyway. In reality, it really doesn't associate with your product all that well, definitely not when compared with the photoshop-Sketch and what it's for.
- sampl 10y agoSketch is 6 years old now https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sketch_(application) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sketch_(application)
- Aldo_MX 10y agoLeave the name, our UI team will love the extra ambiguity.
- robertdpi 10y agoI also got confused by the name
- banachtarski 10y agoAgreed. Honestly, when I first saw it I got excited because I thought it converted Sketch files to RN files (what it is is pretty cool but the name totally threw me for a loop)
- pawelgrzybek 10y agoAs I'm big fan of this tool I need to agree that "Sketch" confuses a lot! Good point fella!
- dcgoss 10y agoMy first thought is that it could be called Expo Sandbox. Plays off the Playground theme, and accurately reflects the usage.
- kahnpro 10y agoWell, to be fair, Sketch chose a really common dictionary word for the product name.
- webartisan 10y agoNot to mention the numerous results from Google SketchUp and Autodesk SketchBook that popup when you're searching for "sketch <help-me-with-something>"
