> always wondered why there wasn’t a nocode for hardware that outputs a gerber.
Because hardware tends to be informed by messy physical factors which are hard to represent programmatically.
Think along the lines of "the cables are coming from this side of the board", or "buttons need to be reachable by fingers", or "if you're building a weather station, the temperature sensor should be far away from components that generate heat".
For sure, there will always be some 'user' type requirements that we need to build a way to input, for starters it will be something like a lock file with component positions of things you need in a particular spot. I see alot of value in automating things you just dont care about, particularly if 'sensible' rules can be applied. For example if the tool could automatically determine trace widths, not just at a net level, but for each link based on how hot you were happy for it to get and what loads it would see.
Over the past few years, the term “Share of Search” has become a buzzword in the world of marketing. It refers to the idea that comparing the number of brand searches for your company against those of your competitors can be a good indicator of market share. But is this really true? As someone who has worked in marketing for a large multi-brand high street retailer, I have seen the challenges of using Share of Search as a measure of market share firsthand. In this article, I’ll dive into the research and explore whether Share of Search is really a reliable predictor of market share or just another marketing buzzword.
To give you direction I’d like to understand the purpose. If you’re familiar with software engineering you can draw a parallel between vastly different approaches eg FPGA programming vs native app development.
Are you looking to understand strategic (brand/integrated) approach to marketing or tactical (eg performance marketing)? Are you interested in understanding marketing to help specific objectives or to assist a business at different stages? (Aided Awareness or conversions). Are you interested in targeting consumers or businesses.
Let me know and I can provide some directional guidance.
Daniel Sanwald to me is one of the most innovative contemporaries. I’ve only met him once but seemed lovely too. Portraits and fashion.
Jamie Hawksworth has a keen eye and delivers warmth in his traditional process. He shoots landscape and fashion.
Nick Night and Craig Mcdean for pushing the boundaries of fashion photography.
Rankin for his work ethic. I could watch him working from my desk for about a year, he worked 12hour days 6 days a week. If he didn’t have a professional job, he always had a side project. Portraits and fashion.
The fashion and portraits genre is not one which I am very well versed in, and I haven't really seen that many photos from it as I haven't been seeking it, but they do make some nice images!
My first thought is... how is this free if it's similar to FIGMA?
It sounds like they have basically bundled in a lot of their own icons/svg stuff and that's their business model? But even then building such an app seems like a huge investment if it's just a platform to sell your icons. So I must be missing something.
I have it installed, and while it's handy for opening Sketch files if you don't have a subscription, basic things like text handling and typography are rough. It's useful, but I wouldn't try and actually design in it.
You have correct observations and ask the right questions.
1. We do promote our content. It's not enough to support the development.
2. We could afford a generous freemium. Unlike Figma, Lunacy is resource-efficient and has no pressure from investors.
3. However, collaboration requires cloud, so we'll charge for cloud storage.
Might be worth pointing out that this is thanks to Sketch publishing specs[0] for their format, making it easy to write importers/exporters for. As far as I know Figma has yet to do this, so anything that reads Figma files is likely reverse engineered and prone to breakage when Figma inevitably changes their undocumented format.
If I were searching for a Figma alternative, its file format being documented would be a priority because otherwise, one is subjecting themselves to some degree of lock-in.
Art photographers are very protective of their hi-res imagery and often even low res imagery, that’s why you often see the minimal imagery reproduced in the media. Some niche NFT’s aside, art photography is typically still more physical art. I met Wolfgang a few times about 15years ago he seemed nice. I was also a photographer at the time and we actually contributed to the same book. I’m quite a technical photographer so never really understood the appeal of his imagery, it felt a little like the Tracey Emin of photography. When it comes to capturing real life I much prefer the technical approach of Martin Parr at capturing vignettes of English culture, probably more mainstream too, but I’m no art critic so what do I know.
