Yes, I've not tried submitting pull requests or forking code so I don't have any experience of the etiquette or protocols needed like developers must have in spades.

Very interesting point about inspirational mockups, definitely food for thought!

my site is in my bio, hit me up when you need design help :)

Hey only one of my gear icons wouldn't work :)

https://thenounproject.com/blackspike/collection/gears/

I've tried with mixed results. Some OS projects have been super grateful for tiny things such as favicons and logo vectorisation, but in my experience most tend to acknowledge but not implement work sent on spec.

After a quick search I've just discovered opensourcedesign.net which I'll definitely look at contributing to. This would be great for designers portfolios http://opensourcedesign.net/jobs

Ah the halcyon days of September last year when I made nearly $40.

Still, it's free beer money, and a good enough way to distribute work to the public domain.

It feels good as a designer who's not able to easily contribute to the open source community.

I put up a couple of hundred icons that I'd drawn previously up with a public domain license. Here are the download counts and royalties from the last 10 months for reference: http://i.imgur.com/clNZWUk.png

Love Logitech mice for all those reasons too. I'd recommend using the feature where you can assign a button that when clicked, googles selected text, I couldn't live without that now.

The music is by The Divided, he mentioned it in this tweet https://twitter.com/wesbos/status/806925026377207808

Exactly my use case too! Blender is unusable without. In case you'd not seen there's a cool iOS app which replicates Blender's keypad functions - great when you're on a Macbook or similar: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/blender-keypad/id430784289?m...

I hope they're not phasing out the numeric keypad versions! I love typing on those. Never understood why Apple didn't make a wireless version with a keypad either.

Buzzfeed, usvsth3m, The Metro and their ilk just recycle reddit submissions anyway, I think it makes sense for reddit to take a slice of that pie themselves.

Oh I see what you meant, apologies

FTA "Two years ago their software was found being widely used by governments in the Middle East, especially Bahrain, to hack and spy on the computers and phones of journalists and dissidents." "I have hard proof they knew they were selling (and still are) to people using their software to attack Bahraini activists"

Absolutely agree. I've had some work designing some really creative ad banners using just SMIL, self contained animated banners, all vector so responsive and hi dpi that you can throw anywhere in an img tag with some basic interactivity and gzipped to boot was a fantastic solution. Expected that IE couldn't be arsed to support it but severely disappointed chrome is dropping it.

Also amusing, these inspectors are paid to go to pubs to watch football matches. Not a bad job.

This is great, I was just thinking about a similar idea when I waltzed into my empty barbers the other day, good luck!

Also Draw by Adobe has similar results (free!) https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-draw/id911156590

Surely this is just the existing Adobe Shapes app rebranded?

A different perspective – Coda + Diet Coda have been fantastic for testing sites on iOS devices. Coda 2 and Transmit are two of my favourite & most used apps and I've had few issues. When I have, their support has been superb including feature requests - they have a great stackoverflow support site: https://www.panic.com/qa/.

Looking forward to the imminent Coda 2.5 update.

I'td be interesting to see the daily 1,000 most popular photos, some of them must be really great

The London Beer Flood Only 8 dead, but beer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Beer_Flood

My friend Dr Bayliss did just that - 'discovered' an African rainforest, Mt Mabu on google earth, interesting read/chap http://www.theguardian.com/science/grrlscientist/2013/nov/08...

I use Cinch and SizeUp to get the Win 8 aero snap jazz on my mac. Both by http://www.irradiatedsoftware.com

Just use a plugin to enable round corner editing, like http://photoshopscripts.wordpress.com/2013/02/03/corner-edit...

Sadly the XAML export plugin no longer works in Illustrator CS6, I've spoken to the dev, Mike Swanson and apparently it'd be a nightmare to upgrade. I keep a copy of CS5 installed just for this reason.

I've been using CC since it came out - the killer feature for me is that you can install CC on all your computers - PC & mac with the same license key. As someone who hops platforms and computers all the time, it's fantastic.

I always used to pirate Adobe software, but the monthly pricing is very reasonable and you get all the Adobe software for the price, rather than web/print/video bundles like they used to. They've really turned around and made this pirate into a customer.

I wish Microsoft would shoehorn at least IE9 into XP, maybe like Chrome Frame.

It's crazy how many people are still stuck with XP/IE8 which is a massive web dev headache.

I'm not a feedburner user myself, but it looks like a lot of people use it just for stats - I wonder could google roll it into google analytics as an extra stream?

You mean like pastefire, the browser plugin that sends text to your iPhone clipboard, that I've been using for years ;) http://pastefire.com/
