=== Tools I will not review II===
  * https://helpcenter.woodwing.com/hc/en-us/articles/205501375 - DAM (Digital Assets Management), create versions of a file is a 3 step process, for each file. Not practical for day to day work. It's a DAM, not a DVCS. No possibility to compare two versions. Comparing 2 image files is putting them side by side.

=== Git tips ===
  * [[https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Attributes#Binary-Files|how to diff binary files]] (suggested link taken from [[https:http://zachholman.com/posts/command-line-image-diffs/|spaceman-diff]])

=== Visual libs to try out ===
  * http://visjs.org/examples/timeline/05_groups.html
  * GItlit: Version control for HTML files https://github.com/PolicyStat/gitlit

=== Thoughts ===
  * Have a Font vizualing tool. Play around with fonts?
  * Why Dropbox and other sync software suck... Versioning is "linear" and there is no way to .ignore files inside a folder.

=== Open design ===
From this video: http://opendesign.foundation/articles/designers-can-open-source-session-video/

How can designers be more open source:

  - Share you process. (failed attempts, inspiration,...)
  - Share your source files
  - Use code as a design tool
  - Collaborate
  - Donate (donate unused work)
  - Contribute

Make "credit" the core reward for contributing.

Roadblocks:
  * Tooling (invent the tools)
  * File formats (open file formats like svg, html/css as design tools)
