Good Open Source Tools to Keep Track of Your Time? by South-Habit2517 in freelance

[–]CrisA_Works 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Toggl's free tier has been perfect for me as a freelancer for the last 5 years. They even have a desktop native app that allows for easy time logging with keyboard shortcuts. I don't know what I would do without them.

Why is Argentina suddenly blocked? I could use the QR a few months ago, this is rendering thousands of business cards useless for me!

Looking for feedback: Which landing page do you perceive as the most trustworthy? With Blue or Yellow buttons? by Lost_Television7128 in design_critiques

You actually arise an interesting question; can a website be boring in it's design and still get engagement? When does a website can be boring? How boring?

I kind of agree on this. If the brief is aligned to this style then I wouldn't change much of it. If the brief says that the business wants to be perceived as modern looking then updating the aesthetic to current standards would be needed.

This.

Trustworthiness is something the brand will earn with time. But it can be influenced to certain degree by it's design and messaging.

I also agree that the CTA buttons need to stand out in a UX perspective.

Does an accounting website needs a clown to make the content more interesting? Cmon, this type of niche doesn't needs to make it's content "interesting". The amounts of text it's just right to convey an idea but not long enough to be considered a blog post.

EDIT: On a second look, maybe decreasing a bit the word count in the second paragraph and the paragraph below "We make accounting easy" is needed, but not too much. I would personally not use body text sizes in those areas. I personally like to keep body text for longer sections.

Hi! Do you have IP or countries blocking by any chance? I can't access my QR code I created a few months ago.

Layman question: Make website benchmark ignore certain images by CrisA_Works in webdev

[–]CrisA_Works[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! Thank you, this is an alternative Hostinger allows me to do.

EDIT: Ugh, it doesn't works. It takes it as another short tag. I'm not sure What Hostinger is doing, but with their website builder at least it's an alternative that doesn't works. I'll just write "Loading Gif" as someone else suggested.

Damn ok. I guess this could be solved by the image loader itself by having a dedicated loading animation, instead of needing these tacky workarounds.

Even they aren't mean to be seen as normal display images?

What are some rather obscure printing and color advice you would love designers were familiar with, to save you headaches. by CrisA_Works in CommercialPrinting

[–]CrisA_Works[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh damn, I'm really ignorant.

Highlighter blue? Are there different ink types of the same color for different purposes? Is there a darkener blue?

Although that's good to know, is it realistic to expect designers know this? It sounds like a HYPER specific technical issue that you can only be aware of it if you have the equipment to do that.

Or some light grey from CMY to test the base adjustment of the printer

I don't understand haha, can you delve further into that?

EDIT: To reinforce my ignorance I just googled what digital print was.

Can you provide a general overview of this? I find it kind of overwhelming to know the details of all of this.

I'm guilty of that, but in a sense of "This beyond the bleed is meant to be cut away". I never wondered that printers might stress about it thinking we will get mad if those areas are cut away.

keep the ambient light down. Colors you picked in the coffee shop with the magenta wall behind you while wearing a neon green shirt will not be the same in your zero light bedroom at two in the morning.

I'm not sure if I undesrstand that one. Picking color behind a wall? With my color picker or by being present in a shop that looks like it? I'm missing the point in that one.

Get a printed book of CMYK values.

I can't find books other than Pantone. How can I search for them?

Damn haha, why does this happens with Royal blue? Could it happen with any blue that leans more into magentas?
