a) Why not use something to speed up designing and getting are products out there? You do realise that's the point of tools, and the way they evolve - we build better things that help us work faster and smarter. Otherwise we'd still be satisfied using the first version of Photoshop and coding in Notepad.
b) You're not in a position to say what designers should and shouldn't do.
UI/Visual Designer. Everything from wireframes to polished interfaces. Web and mobile. I'm taking on a couple more clients for June and July time. Portfolio at http://zanderbrade.com
Sorry, I just found out who this was, and personally what you consider to be worthy of 'one of the most untrustworthy designers I've ever encountered', I find somewhat offensive.
What happened: I missed a Skype call, and wasn't interested in working with you on a potential project. No contracts signed, 8 emails exchanged - just a sign from you that you might be interested in hiring me; and I wasn't into the project.
Hardly a crime in my eyes.
Also, this means I just shared a different story where I actually messed up.
Well, it's only 120 chars. The idea is for it to be just for side projects, rather than billion dollar ideas - so the risk of showing off your idea isn't huge. I do get your concern though, and I'm gonna work on beefing up the FAQ and Terms so insecurity will be minimised:)
Not that I know of - certainly not a large selection that function in the same way as Analog. The idea was inspired by Builditwith.me by Drew Wilson, and I wanted it to function like Tinyproj - that's how it's come together as is.
So yeah, there probably are quite a few, but I'm confident that Analog has something unique going for it.
Annoying coincidence, but just as I was about to launch Analog today my site went down. I'm sure it's a pretty simple fix but it was something I've put to the back rather than going at it now. So I just have a landing page atm instead.
On any other day you'd be able to see my full site, with a ton of stuff about me, my work and my writing. I'll go work on getting it back up now. So, I understand your reaction.
Without knowing who this is, I can't say. I know I've only done one terrible thing as a designer, which was with a really friendly dude, I was 15 at the time and just fucked up horribly. I'm pretty sure this is the incident as I've had few other big hiccups.
I've done a lot of very stupid things in my career. Only 17, still learning. I'm super sorry though that you feel this way:( Maybe mail me zander.brade AT gmail.com and I can try make it up.
