It’s been incredible to watch design at Microsoft grow over the past 4 years working on both the Office and Devices teams. The design community at Microsoft is amazing. It’s been so much fun helping build what’s next across both hardware and software!

@duetdisplay @duetdisplay the brush tool in microsoft's 'snip and sketch' tool however works as expected. How do I get photoshop to work the same way? thanks!

[Alexander Bennett @anbdesign]

@duetdisplay just installed the app. using the brush tool in photoshop doesn't work even when I use my fingers. Any suggestions on how to make this work?

Our company @panic has been around for a long-ass time, and we've made lots of great software. But one day we realized: we're self-funded, and there's nobody to tell us what to do. Why aren't we trying more new things?

[Alexander Bennett @anbdesign]

Draw a sticky note on an iPad and then pull it out into the AR world. I added little spring force and try to make the transition feel like pulling a physical note out of a book. Tested on a 6-year-old boy, he can definitely get it. :D
