Sketch by Bohemian Coding

The app I'm choosing to review is Sketch.  In the web and app-design world, this program has replaced the long-time used Photoshop by Adobe as the industry standard.  I'm a web designer by profession, and this program is amazing for designing for web.  My company made the transition about a year ago and we haven't looked back.  Photoshop was created for the purpose of editing photos, and because of it's design capabilities, became the standard application to design for web.  However, Sketch is a new program by Bohemian Coding released in the past couple years, that was designed for the sole purpose of creating web and app designs.
Sketch has a clean and easy to use interface that is much less cluttered than photoshop.  All designs are vector based, and with the exception of photos, can be sliced-up and exported as such—resulting in a much sharper, quicker and cleaner end product.
Sketch is cool because they have opened their api to programers to create their own plug-ins for the app.  So if a designer/programmer has an idea that could make the program better, a plug-in can be created to make it so.  This is much better than having to wait over a year for Adobe to release a newer version of Photoshop.  Sketch's open-ended programing has resulted in a quickly evolving app that is becoming more and more robust and easy to use.  There are also multiple other apps that work with Sketch as plug-ins: InVision, Avocode, Framer, Origami, Wake, UXpin, Flinto... and many more.  All of these apps take designs made in Sketch to further the design process—generate animations, create prototypes, code for web, convert/splice up designs to css for front-end developers.. etc.
It's interesting to see the influence that a new program/app can have on revolutionizing web and app design.  It really has formed an online community of designers and coders that are constantly innovating and creating new ways to display new media content.  These are a few of the reasons I like Sketch.
