In the same boat. I started using PS in 1998. Never felt right for UI design, but nothing has ever really felt right for me, even Figma/Sketch/etc. I’ve tried them all.
I don’t know precisely what I’m looking for, but they aren’t it.
- dorkwood 5y agoI feel like the future might involve writing a little bit of code, so you can more easily link properties together and that sort of thing. Maybe a node-based workflow, I'm not sure.
- tenaciousDaniel 5y agoTotally agreed. No one has explored textual interfaces for designers, because everyone assumes “well designers are visual thinkers so they must draw”. I think that’s somewhat reasonable but it’s also blunt and obtuse. As it happens, I’m currently creating a platform-agnostic DSL specifically for designers. The goal is to give them a parametric language through which they can communicate their designs using their own mental models and verbiage.
