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.

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)
