berkcebi··on Show HN: I built a little online drum machine using 808 style samples
Great suggestions, thanks so much. I definitely want to keep the app simple UI-wise, so it's going to be a challenge!

Right, it's not optimized for mobile at all — definitely on the to-do list.

That's a good point! I did consider this but decided against it since the share URLs would be pretty long.

Instead I went with a S3 based storage solution — still pretty simple, not managing any servers or databases manually.

Yes, it makes a lot of sense to open source it — will do in a day or two!

Thank you! I noticed on my iPhone that if it's on silent, the audio doesn't play — that could be it.

Huh! I love how you can switch between instruments on each track, that's a great idea.

Have you tried Tone.js vs Howler? Any thoughts?

Oh yeah, adding to my to-do list!

Makes a ton of sense — will add to my list!
berkcebi··on Zeplin (YC S15) launches to improve designer and developer collaboration
Zeplin currently only supports Sketch as a design tool, which is also Mac only. Using our Mac app (and our Sketch plugin) designers upload the designs. We also have a web app (for developers not using Macs), where you can access the uploaded designs: app.zeplin.io

We feel the same way and actually started doing this with colors. There's a guideline section in the app where designers create a color palette, define all the colors that they'll be using. This way, when you're looking at the designs, you can instantly see if there's a color that is not defined in the palette.

We've heard back from a lot of designers using Zeplin saying that they're now more cautious about which colors they use. We're now working on a similar feature for reusable UI components.

Hey folks! I'm Berk, one of the co-founders. With Zeplin, we’re actually scratching our own itch, working for a world where designers and developers can collaborate with maximum efficiency.

We've just released 1.0, with a brand new UI and the long-awaited asset export feature. We'd love to hear your feedback and answer any questions!

Nope no libraries for now. You can import your designs via Sketch though.

Kudos to Sketch, they have an amazing plugin infrastructure! We've built one that exports all the layer data and the artboards out to Zeplin.
