UX / Product Design friends: What's you're current tool stack for freelancing, and what's one underrated gem you're loving lately 💎 ?
@Chanel Medeiros Figma, MIRO, Google Workspace (Google Meet, Docs, Slides, Excel), UXArmy (a User Research tool like Usability Testing), Medium, Unsplash, WordPress, and Grammarly.
These are tools I have been using recently.
@Tiffany Teng Oooh I'll have to check out UXArmy, thanks for sharing! I wish UserTesting had a better pricing package for freelancers — the new features they shared during Config looked awesome 🥲
@Chanel Medeiros As far as I know, UserTesting is very expensive. With a tight budget, I can't afford to get one from them. Anyway, UXArmy allows me to get the same insights!
@Chanel Medeiros depends on what, design tools? Inspiration? Workflow?
@Daniel G Bright All of the above, maybe even admin / project management! What are the apps or tools that you find yourself using the most throughout the week?
@Chanel Medeiros Figma, Framer, Jitter, Adobe Creative Suite, Webflow, Bolt, Lottie, Motion, Slack, MidJourney, probably forgot some more haha
My go-to's:
- Figma 🐐
- Mobbin and Awwwards for inspo ✨
- Ideating and workshops: miro, FigJam, sketchpad or whiteboard
- UserTesting for concept validation and research, but in need of a replacement tool for freelancing 💸
- GSuite and Notion for admin
- Airtable for project...
