    You're one of my favorite channels online. I'm a UX designer who stumbled upon your work while trying to learn Sketch. You helped me learn Sketch and it seems you are also helping me learn Figma! Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge.

    One of the best studying videos I watched lately (And I watch a whole lot of them).
    down to business, not wasting viewer's time, no 2 min sponsorship bullshitting!
    sound 10/10
    video and editing 10/10
    also, I liked we can see you talk while you work and it's not a voice over. You got my sub sir.

    design undergrad student here. We're currently using figma to design and prototype a music app for android and ios interfaces. Figma seemed pretty overwhelming for me at first, (and still kinda does) but I've been playing around with different tools and features in the app and seeing what they do. Figma is a very powerful design software.

    If you already proficient in you current tools, doesn't matter it's Sketch/Invision or Adobe XD, embrace them! End of the day, it's just a tool you use to make design deliverables. But, If you were new to wireframing tools or don't have a mac, embrace Figma!

    Awesomeness!! It looks like Figma combines Adobe XD's vertical ability of designing and prototyping and sharing and commenting with Sketch's ability to edit vectors and do more sophisticated editing within the app! Plus, its birth online and living fully online makes it even more accessible. Great education, Jesse, thank you!!!

    My dad works in creating little games and apps in early childhood development. He has asked me to create a very simple app. It needs to:
    1. Have a table with all letters of the alphabet, capital and lowercase, in random order.
    2. Use a simple font that is easy for young kids to read. eg. not this one, as "a" is not how most kids will write it, and "I" (capital i) is impossible to differentiate between capital i and lowercase L. And "q" looks just like a 9.
    3. Each letter must be in a tab on a table with all the other letters. The teacher will go through it with the child asking them to identify a letter. If they can understand it, they must tap the button, and it must change colour to show that it was a letter the child understands.
    4. At the end, the app must calculate how many of the letters the child got right, and make a list of the letters they struggled with.
    It sounds much more complicated than it really is, but I am struggling to find an app/website that can help me do it. Any suggestions?
