As the rebrand was outsourced (like most rebrands) the "why" is absolutely not so designers can justify their salaries.
Design as a department is very often under resourced and I'd take a strong wager that the designers who actually work for Tropicana were dreading all the unnecessary work this rebrand was surely going to generate for them.
So far this looks great. The share interface seems nice which is about the only thing I use these apps for to be honest. Anything that makes that faster to fill out is a win in my books.
> who gives away used clothes that are still in good conditions
In North America I think most people do. Charity/Thrift shops are packed to the brim with used clothing not to mention organizations that very specifically bring used clothing items to those in need.
I believe most people do not keep all their clothing items until they are entirely worn out. Changes in taste, body changes, getting rid of unused items, moving to a location with a different climate etc.
In most cases people are donating the clothes not reselling them. You put it in a bag and drop it off.
Meh. I can't open any of our old sketch files at work because I don't have a valid license for a version that works on the newest OS. All the same as being locked out of a server in the moment.
> I’m sure it would look good on a designers portfolio if they did the design/branding for a project like org mode.
I can't think of a more challenging "client" to take on than a decentralized group of engineers. Classic ways to build your design portfolio usually centre around small businesses, community groups, events and non-profits because they have clear needs that are easily served by design.
Another place where designers play is with open source/license fonts, icons, design systems etc. which makes sense because they are designing things for their peers.
I've been testing this out with a 600 page research paper before the launch of 2.0 and now continuing after. Love the annotations, works very well for my purposes.
Really enjoying the updates so far. The dark mode inverting the actual PDF to dark is a nice touch for reading (and I can toggle it off for visualization heavy portions).
In the article most of the annoyances boil down to crappy html markup and unclear navigation. These are things that are easy to fix without any special accessibility knowledge and go a long way in improving usability for everyone.
My most used Alfred things beyond launching apps/files:
* Clipboard history (screenshots on clipboard in the history is extra useful)
* Snippets using the date placeholders {datetime:short} for various file naming and email workflows
* Snippet shortcuts for things I always forget like the shortcut for → and ™ or my zoom meeting link that I paste into meeting invites
* Launching simple shell scripts by keyword
* Workflow for opening Jira tickets in my browser quickly
* Search notes workflow for quick access to everything in the Notes app
* Soulver workflow for using the Soulver engine in Alfred for doing quick calculations
I was a Quicksilver user that never quite got into Spotlight. I'm betting these days some of these workflows can be accomplished with Spotlight and other apps but Alfred has worked very nicely for me.
