UX Tools
A handy comparison of UX tools, book recommendations, and a thoughtful blog
Why we it.
We often find ourselves reading the UX Tools blog, which has some interesting reads on all things UX. Also has a handy comparison table highlighting key features in various design and prototyping tools. The fact that it’s run by a Senior UX designer from diagramming app, Lucid Chart, doesn’t hurt either.

Why we it.
UX Power Tools is one of our favourite resources available for Sketch. It’s a collection of well thought out, beautifully assembled style guides for Sketch users. With hundreds of easy to edit symbols and objects available, it’s likely one of the most comprehensive Sketch resources available. There’s even a free preview you can download to see if it works for you. Their content on Tiny Trends makes for interesting reading too.
