How to Pull Off a Mask on an Android Phone?
Bryan debute, last episode, we got new set for you, braand overwhelmed with a capital age. We have lots of jobs, and basically it would be unrealistic for us to try and rattle them all off here. Marshal, this was pretty i'll split it up into a couple o chapters. Well, let's move along then to the job board.
This week, we dissect Substack’s new podcast player design, talking about both the pixels and the strategic advantage of sharing craft-specific content on Twitter. In the Sidebar, we talk about the nature and risks of critiquing software as podcasters and design practitioners.

Zeplin recently shipped Flows!
Flows are a fast/effortless way to create and outline user flows and journeys. Designers can use flows to connect screens in seconds and map complete user journeys, showing not just the happy path but all possible paths and behaviors.
All you need to do is add screens you want in a flow, then add a connector which will snap into place to connect screens or design elements. You even add a label to clarify edge cases or error paths.
As you publish new versions of designs, your flows and connectors will get updated automatically as screens change.
