zancler··on Laziness & The Web Designer: How Some Tools Make Designers Lazy
Sorry, I think you've missed the point here.

a) Why not use something to speed up designing and getting are products out there? You do realise that's the point of tools, and the way they evolve - we build better things that help us work faster and smarter. Otherwise we'd still be satisfied using the first version of Photoshop and coding in Notepad.

b) You're not in a position to say what designers should and shouldn't do.

Sorry, I just found out who this was, and personally what you consider to be worthy of 'one of the most untrustworthy designers I've ever encountered', I find somewhat offensive.

What happened: I missed a Skype call, and wasn't interested in working with you on a potential project. No contracts signed, 8 emails exchanged - just a sign from you that you might be interested in hiring me; and I wasn't into the project.

Hardly a crime in my eyes.

Also, this means I just shared a different story where I actually messed up.

Started working on expanding that in.

A payment I owed him was late by 2/3 months. I have a lot of shit excuses as to why I didn't pay him on time but it was just a bad mistake.

Well, it's only 120 chars. The idea is for it to be just for side projects, rather than billion dollar ideas - so the risk of showing off your idea isn't huge. I do get your concern though, and I'm gonna work on beefing up the FAQ and Terms so insecurity will be minimised:)

Turns out it was easier than expected haha. http://zanderbrade.com

Thanks a bunch for all the nice stuff:)

Not that I know of - certainly not a large selection that function in the same way as Analog. The idea was inspired by Builditwith.me by Drew Wilson, and I wanted it to function like Tinyproj - that's how it's come together as is.

So yeah, there probably are quite a few, but I'm confident that Analog has something unique going for it.

Annoying coincidence, but just as I was about to launch Analog today my site went down. I'm sure it's a pretty simple fix but it was something I've put to the back rather than going at it now. So I just have a landing page atm instead.

On any other day you'd be able to see my full site, with a ton of stuff about me, my work and my writing. I'll go work on getting it back up now. So, I understand your reaction.

Thanks for the feedback:)

Thanks dude. In this case it's likely my fault but your kind words mean a lot. Hope you enjoy Analog!

Without knowing who this is, I can't say. I know I've only done one terrible thing as a designer, which was with a really friendly dude, I was 15 at the time and just fucked up horribly. I'm pretty sure this is the incident as I've had few other big hiccups.

I've done a lot of very stupid things in my career. Only 17, still learning. I'm super sorry though that you feel this way:( Maybe mail me zander.brade AT gmail.com and I can try make it up.

As a designer, this might just be the most stupid thing I've ever seen.

Far too much like spacebox.io for me.
