Meet Elyx, your new Integrated Design Environment.

[Chris Downer @cjdowner]

As a designer, I’ve been wondering: what does AI mean for the future of our craft?

As a tool builder, I couldn’t leave that question unanswered.

The answer is Elyx. And it’s coming soon.

Introducing Elyx.

A better source of truth for design engineers and agents.

A place where design means more.

[Sketch @sketch]

Remember when we said auto layout was coming to Sketch? It’s here. It’s called Stacks, and it’s part of our biggest release ever — out now.

There’s a lot to cover, so buckle up and we’ll give you a tour.

Also, stick around for a surprise at the end of the thread 👀

Let’s go ↓

@_motherslug I was hoping to see you on mastodon. Maybe you could cross post there?

[Alfred Young 🔜 Hiatus till October @AlfredL21]

We lost a great one today. Rip to one of the greatest to ever do it. Jazz, composition, anything he was THAT guy. Rip Wayne Shorter🙏🏾🙏🏾💜💜

@tlrobinson I like Clear, it’s simple enough that I actually use it.

[Emanuel Sá @emanuelsa]

If you're a community-driven product, operating remotely, I got a rare lead for a Community and/or Events position (with strong recommendations) who can help your team grow your reach, DMs are open.

I was toying around with a Swift DSL for GraphQL queries that mimics QL syntax. Something like

MyQL.query(named: "HeroQuery") {
Hero {
.name
.friends
}
}
But type inference does not work inside result builders. All alternatives seem considerably less appealing.

@amyruthworrall @PossiblyAlan I always use self, except maybe in single line functions. It prevents sneaky refactoring bugs, and makes code review mich simpler.

[Greg Parker @gparker]

"Objective-C without the C" was a good keynote line but it's a bad description of Swift.

We designed a language that was closer to Objective-C without the C. It wasn't good enough to make up for the costs. Adoption of a new language had to be "go big or go home".

[matti @mtthsksr]

@olebegemann Possibly my least favorite part of Swift. Would be much nicer to have all these performance related implementation details hidden. I know there are examples that actually take advantage of them, but they always seem to be a bit contrived.

[Pieter Omvlee @pieteromvlee]

I'm so proud of what the team pulled off here with bringing Live Collaboration to Sketch and our native desktop app! 😁 The visible part, the cursors and the user avatars are just the tip of the iceberg, so let's talk about the rest a bit. 1/17

[matti @mtthsksr]

@pieteromvlee But thanks to a huge effort of a large amount of people, I think we were able to build something pretty nice.☺️

[matti @mtthsksr]

@pieteromvlee 3) Then we worked on the "details", and it all got complicated again: new clients migrating the document data, old clients uploading patches, non-coediting team members doing a full upload in the middle of a session, oh my!

[matti @mtthsksr]

Come work with us! Great app, great team, lots of things to do. Fully remote (European/African timezone).
