![]() But Figma has replaced so many tools and saved us so much money. Overflow is an amazing tool for creating diagrams and flows. The newly added Docs feature is our go-to place to document product changes, discussions, and plans. Whimsical is the best tool for designing wireframes and flowcharts. Now, the market is crowded, but we stuck to it mostly because we forget to unsubscribe… We started using Dropmark when there weren’t many choices around for collection. We’re all huge font nerds, and we enjoy using Fontstand to try out fonts for each new project. Before Drama, we have used Origami, Flinto, and Principle. Although most of the time, we use Prototype in Figma. Nevertheless, we love this tool, and it's a pleasure to use it every time.Ĭurrently, Drama is our favorite tool for creating sophisticated interactions and animations. ![]() Although we use Framer more often to implement designs in Figma, we still do some details in Framer, especially the interaction design. Even if they are illustrations that look 2D, it is easier to design in Cinema 4D, and there is more room to play.Īt first, I was a little hesitant to classify Framer as a design or development tool. Most of our marketing designs are more or less in 3D. We also use Ai and Ps for brand identity work occasionally.Ĭinema 4D has become an essential part of our toolchain. Now everything is in one place instead of all over the place. We used to have Sketch, Abstract, and Zeplin, but it was messy and expensive. With our plans to expand our team, we are now more frequently documenting knowledge and skills that others need to learn. We’re disappointed by the video/audio quality of Tandem, so we went back to using Zoom as our primary meeting tool. ![]() Not all meetings require a new Zoom room, sometimes asking a quick question or just chit-chat, Tandem can be very convenient. Tandem is a lightweight team meeting tool. We draft all of our documents, even contracts in Paper, thanks to its version control and beautiful tables. Who doesn’t enjoy writing on a freeform paper? Also, it comes with the Dropbox subscription. My favorite feature is Templates, which saved me so much time. We love Spark for being able to write emails together and discuss without getting stuck in reply-all hell. Replaced with Lark Meetings and VooV Meeting. The best tool for online meetings, period. It provides an asynchronous way to communicate, and we are now addicted to using it to create internal tutorial videos. Loom not only has a name somewhat similar to Zoom, it is also one of the most important tools we use to communicate. We were recently assisting a client in setting up custom domain mailboxes, and Proton outperformed the competition on all fronts, impressing us with its ease of use, security, extra features, and price. It dramatically reduces background noise during meetings, not only your own but also the other person's, making it a real must-have for the home office. Krisp is just as amazing as the noise canceling feature of AirPods Pro, and it works with any voice software. It looks just like Mail.app only feels infinitely better.ĭue to the wide acceptance of WeChat in China, it is now also one of the official channels to contact us. Mimestream is a native Mac app for Gmail. ![]() We now use Sheets the most, providing details of hours worked for those clients who need to be billed on time. Google Workspace has probably been our longest companion, generously supporting our mailboxes, documents and sheets. Sometimes we invite clients to join our Slack channel directly or connect two companies through Slack Connect. It links our Figma project, Zoom meetings, Whimsical docs, GitHub webhooks, and a bunch of bots to make our work easier. Slack has been the hub of our communication since 2013. Suggest on Twitter Last updated on Oct 1 Communication 12 Here are some great tools we think are worth recommending to you, and if you think there's something we should take a look at, feel free to let us know. We rely heavily on tools to stay in touch, and we're constantly trying new ones. As a team that has worked remotely since day one, our partners still choose to work where they are comfortable, even though we have an office. ![]()
