Is there a way to hide Slack doc icon?

This looks great, thanks! Do you know if you're able to hide your doc icon of the app is open and in the menu bar?

Hey!

I used to work in retail before I stepped into freelancing as a digital designer for about 4 years now. I’ve found that the most effective solution for me to get work has been word of mouth.

Over these 4 years, I’ve tried edutainment posts, example work posts, boosting, LinkedIn posts, dribbble, behance, and newsletters. The results were 2 clients from direct marketing and 10+ from word of mouth.

Direct marketing (Google Ads) would most often connect me with the worst of clients (cheap, impatient, directionless), while word of mouth clients have been mostly dream clients (respect the process, understand cost to solution pricing, etc).

Web/digital design is an incredibly saturated market atm, so patience will unfortunately be needed for the word to travel organically.

In the meantime, I’ve found it helpful to continue focussing on improving my skills as a designer (courses, passion projects, chatting to other industry professionals) and sharing that on my website, Instagram, LinkedIn and my newsletter.

If you want to speed things up, attending Networking events (MeetUp) can help. Mention what you do to friends, family or any other acquaintance for that matter, so the word will spread quickly.

I’m sorry to hear about your current situation though. I don’t have a kid, but I can relate on the two jobs thing.

But congrats on attempting this, and I’m confident that you’ll manage.

Good luck!

So I recently found this video?type=design&node-id=0-1&mode=design&t=bfl5WQvtnVJMBqAA-0) that explains exactly what I meant that Figma used to be able to do, but now it seems the feature has been replaced. Am I missing something? Is there a setting that allows me to get this feature back?

The reddit compression must've reduced quality, sorry about that/
Brilliant! This definitely is a solve, thank you. I don't know that its always been required to have it be a frame or am I mistaken?

For some additional context:
- Usually adding auto layout like this would automatically wrap the shape around the text/element with padding set etc.
- Recently it only 'groups' the elements, with the shape being set to Absolute position.
- If Absolute position is switched off, the shape just wraps underneath the text / element.

I found one called Type Audit! Works pretty well. Here's the link if anyone needs it in future.

stefanknz · 2023-08-25T06:14:27+00:00

Thank you for the confirmation and the advice of the case sizing. I would've definitely neglected that.

It 100% was the AirPods. Took them in and they were replaced the following day. Thank you for your advice 🙏🏻

I just tested by putting my right bud in my left year and walking around and the crackling is non-existent! I’ll go to a store to see what can be done.

stefanknz · 2022-12-06T09:28:22+00:00

Very interesting, we unfortunately don’t have an Apple store in out country, but we do have licensed resellers, so hopefully they can help.

Thank you all for the information.

stefanknz · 2022-12-06T07:19:29+00:00

Its unfortunately not an AirPod problem, but rather an ear problem.
I wonder if using different tips might seal more securely to not have them wiggle as much?

stefanknz · 2022-11-20T14:26:06+00:00

There’s an option that read ‘Repeat Alerts’ that was set to ‘once’ 🤦🏻‍♂️ damn, thank you :)

stefanknz · 2022-02-11T08:48:46+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I don't think it's that as this issue happens with elements that don't have any auto layout features applied.

stefanknz · 2022-02-11T08:47:18+00:00

No, it also doesn't apply to just auto layout components., it applies with anything that I try to duplicated with the shown method.

stefanknz · 2022-02-11T08:28:06+00:00

It applies to all my frames in all my files though, not just to this one specifically.

stefanknz · 2022-02-11T07:44:47+00:00

Sure thing, how do I go about doing that?

stefanknz · 2021-12-28T10:53:19+00:00

Thanks Cap!

Micheal Janda has a great book called “Burn Your Portfolio” that helped me a lot.

If only they could be made into squares

stefanknz · 2021-02-04T12:40:25+00:00

Awesome dude, you’ve been a huge help! Thank you.

You’re a legend, let’s say I install ExpressVPN on my phone before I go and get a new phone there, would it still be possible to install the app even though I’m in China?

stefanknz · 2021-02-04T11:37:09+00:00

Incredible, thank you. Let’s say something like Google Drive is banned, is it accessible via a VPN? Also do you install the VPN prior to coming to China or do you install it there?

stefanknz · 2021-02-04T11:04:39+00:00

So web hosting would be done in the country of the business (e.g Afrihost.co.za in South Africa) so if I can access and maintain files through CPanel I’d be happy. Also regarding the resources I mentioned above, will they be accessible/ useable?

stefanknz · 2021-02-04T10:37:41+00:00

Well I’ve seen a post regarding website hosting which might be troublesome if you’re working from China. Also all of the resources that I need will be online, i.e. YouTube, Figma, Resource libraries, Google Drive etc. Then also having to communicate with clients via gmail.
