@Scrumdotorg @jeffsutherland @andreehuk Why make a distinction between "product backlog" (a) and "sprint backlog" (b) but then make no distinction between the items when in either a or b. Why not apply the same logic, for easier understanding!?

Their granularity is certainly not the same, either.

@andreiganci @dantuhoarca from our designer: when the layer panel is open and switching between component states, the layers always show as collapsed. that's such a pain apparently as the designer would need to click/click/click to open up everything again

[blended.io: Product Innovation & Engineering @blendedio]

@andreiganci why do text fields do not have an 'ellipsis' feature? #xd #css

[blended.io: Product Innovation & Engineering @blendedio]

@andreiganci @dantuhoarca We were just told that after deleting other missing components, those that were not deletable beforehand, can now be deleted.

Seems like #bug in #xd.

[blended.io: Product Innovation & Engineering @blendedio]

@andreiganci @dantuhoarca also, why is it not possible to delete a component for which the link is broken?

#xd

[blended.io: Product Innovation & Engineering @blendedio]

@andreiganci @dantuhoarca something else: we understand that it takes time/resources to figure whether a component is located somewhere on the canvas, though, why does the context menu say "Highlight on canvas" if there is no duplicate on the canvas? Why say so directly.

[blended.io: Product Innovation & Engineering @blendedio]

@andreiganci @dantuhoarca Stacks also don't stay right-aligned, even if set within responsive resize. e.g.:

3 buttons in a stack (A-C), right-aligned. Designer hides button C, stack does stay right-aligned, button C just disappears.

@tuhoojabotti @Atlassian @github @gitlab There seems to be tons of legacy markup everywhere + the behaviour of text fields is different across the entire web application, which is such a pain. It's been like that for years.

@AdobeCare #Mac

[blended.io: Product Innovation & Engineering @blendedio]

Feedback from a few weeks of using @AdobeXD:

- Very promising
- Feels more lightweight in terms of performance than @sketch
- A handful of bugs still show up frequently

We are looking forward to what's coming next!

@AdobeCare Update on the latest versions: Working with cloud files is a real pain. Having 2 files open, one being a Design System, copying + pasting components is so slow. When switching it takes ~10s for XD to react. So slow.

[blended.io: Product Innovation & Engineering @blendedio]

@AdobeXD @sketch - Performance isn't great with #XD cloud files on 2017 Macbook Pros. We face the issue that working in bigger files, switching between them makes #XD freeze for 5-10s. Not sure why that is but could be due to saving aaaaall the time to the cloud.

@andreehuk @andreiganci @GalleKyle @AdobeXD @arunkaza Why does #xd not support vertical-alignment:middle in text fields?

[blended.io: Product Innovation & Engineering @blendedio]

@andreehuk @andreiganci @GalleKyle @AdobeXD @arunkaza Something else from the team:

When a component gets copied from artboard A (768) to artboard B (1366), why not change the size automatically?

@andreiganci @andreehuk @GalleKyle @AdobeXD @arunkaza Some more from the team: Why we do manually need to increase the height of artboards? Why not make it happen automatically when the content overlaps below? Thank you.

@andreiganci @GalleKyle @AdobeXD …and table-like structures for repeaters, e.g. see how @axurerp does it; or a native integration with Google Sheets or @airtable (properly done)

[blended.io: Product Innovation & Engineering @blendedio]

@andreiganci @GalleKyle @AdobeXD by the way, awesome to have would be simple excel-like formulas in e.g. text fields

...and the same goes for #user #experience #design, very strongly by the way. #ux

I find that treating programming as a process of discovery rather than of invention yields vastly superior results

@GalleKyle @AdobeXD We cannot share the file though.

@GalleKyle @AdobeXD From the team: XD bug (supposed to snap to the grid)
