Wer braucht noch eine weitere App für kostenloses Laden?
Es gibt sie tendenziell immer weniger - die kostenlosen Ladepunkte. Für mich ok. Nachdem ich einmal eine etwas unschöne Erfahrung vor einem Lidl gemacht habe, kann ich damit gut leben. Ich denke es braucht keine weitere App zu diesem Thema. Ich verwende dazu Apps wie z.B. chargemap.com welche entsprechende Filter haben. Wie ich sehe @Olivier Heitz, ist die Beta-Version nicht mehr erreichbar. Arbeitest du noch an diesem Projekt? Tut mir leid, dass ich deinen Beitrag erst jetzt sehe.
Symbol Organization, Forward Slash not working
Not really, but yeah that is a mistake. you can see that it doesn't break after the first word "Table", it presents it as "Table/Layout". It is as if Sketch is ignoring the first "/". I have trying multiple ways, but still the same result. When I create a new doc and start organizing symbols, Sketch completely ignores the "/".
The Friendly Sketch App Community
Not sure if this is the same issue, or something else. On some symbols, the nesting organization works. But on some, it doesn't. In the symbol menu that are just named Symbol Name/Sub Name/Sub Name. I have been trying to figure out the difference but there seems not to be any. Is there an fix for this?

iOS App Icon Template Use
In Photoshop, I can open a template PSD, edit one smart image and that change is applied to every icon size in the PSD. I can't seem to find anyway of doing this with the Sketch iOS App Icon template. I don't want to have to edit the icon at each size and spend hours making sure each one looks the same, has the same padding and spacing, etc. Is there a way I can use one icon and have this applied across the board?

Libraries (Beta) - Native in Sketch
Sketch 47 is going to include Libraries as a native feature. I really hope that it will work better than Craft's Library feature. You can now start playing around with it in 47 beta.https://www.sketchapp.com/learn/documentation/libraries/But as always, be careful with beta versions. Never use them in production!“If you’re wanting to share Symbols from your Sketch document with friends or colleagues via Libraries, then that’s entirely possible.
Please add this life-saving feature to Symbol Overrides!!!
My team is rigorous about using atomic design, and we love symbols for enabling us to integrate it into our design workflow. We experiment a lot with nested symbols, making Atoms, Molecules, and Organisms. Sketch Overrides work great for this, but what we'd really like to do is make Page Template Symbols as well, so we can make pages quickly from them. This is useful for swapping out major components when only one is changing on different states within a page.

A blast from the past: Sketch 1
The floating panel doesn't really work, but I'd love the possibility to detach the inspector to move and resize it.I think the viewport with our artboards would look bigger..right now it feels a little bit "claustrophobic" when working on websites (not on mobile apps).
Sync symbols position in all artboards
This is what I doing.But it means if you have let's say 10-20 artboards of the same page with different states, all the time you change a symbol position, you have to copy and paste the symbols in all artboards... (plus removing the previous ones in each artboards). That's not ideal and pretty bad workflow...
My favourite icon set for UI Design is…
I'm not going to tell you, but my favourite UI Icon set at the moment is Nucleo. I love this set and the workflow with the Mac App. Too bad that I work at a big corporation and can't really use it for my daily work. Using it for my side projects!https://nucleoapp.com…and I'm not being payed to say that!What Icon sets are you using?

Mirr.io - Prototyping directly in Sketch (plugin)
Thanks Olivier! Great articleI love this quote, spot on. "It’s super easy to learn and start using and it’s probably best fitted for early stages of a project. Without any need to set up complicated interactions and its use of Sketch layers, it’s perfect for designers to do a quick show and tell" Nic

Adding A Transparent Background To Shapes
In the attached image titled boats.png, you'll see the triangle shape has a white rectangle near the bottom right corner. I am trying to make the white rectangle be transparent so that it matches the triangle shape in the second attached image. How do I make a transparent background and have it be the front-most object? Thank you in advance!

Sketch + Fontawesome Plugin
@keremciu I tried downloading your plugin. I also watched the video you posted. But the portion of the screen captured does not show the navigation bars so I don't know where you clicked to get the options you did. Also my version of Mac seems different from yours so menu options also seem to have changed. Could you clarify the navigation path for the screens you show in your video? Thanks.
Symbol Layer names differ from Symbol itself
Is there a way to keep the Symbol Layer name the same as the Symbol itself? I find it pretty frustrating when I'm trying to organize my layer names that the symbol layers have different names than the symbol itself. I understand that this is an iteration of the symbol, but there's not even a good way to copy and paste the symbol name into the layer's name field. Haven't found anybody talking about this.

Play and record Marvel prototypes in Sketch
Marvel has added an interesting new feature to their Sketch plugin.

Hit the play button and watch the player pop open and bring your designs to life following the flows you’ve pulled together in Marvel.

Sketch, InVision, Zeplin
Hello, Hello I'm surprised no one talks about Avocode.For me it is Zeplin, in its complete version ... and it is cheaper.Avocode integrates a comment module like Invision but not yet a wireframe presentation toolkit.But I also want that Zeplin becomes a success.
"Copy" Added to Duplicated Slice Names
I have the "Rename Duplicated Layers" turned off, but it still is putting " copy" at the end of all my layer names.This is driving me crazy because these assets have to be named properly and manually editing the name every time after duplicating takes a long time. I named it properly the first time, why can't we keep that name when duplicating?

Manually select a font when you don't have the missing one?
1. When you open a document and you don't have the specific font you can select another one to replace it with? I could select one that does less damage to the existing file... 2. Is there a workaround to replace it after opening the document? Is there any possibility that:

Duplicating symbols instead of instances
I'm fairly new to sketch and I'm having a problem where every instance of a symbol actually creates a new duplicate symbol, which pretty much takes away any functionality of having symbols at all. So, if I copy and paste a symbol, instead of just creating a new instance attached to the same master symbol, it creates an entirely new master symbol. How do I fix this?
File Browser/Manager that can Preview .sketch files
I've been looking for the same thing. Only occasionally do certain sketch files show a thumbnail, but very rarely and it seems arbitrary. It would be especially great if you could flip through artboards in a quick view similar to the way you can with a PDF. Any luck finding something?
Sketch running extremely slow
- This happens no matter what sketch file I have open (be it a new one I just created and has nothing in it to larger files) - I've tried moving sketch files out of dropbox and working directly on my desktop. - I've cleaned up my whole system to ensure I have enough space - I'm using the latest version of sketch Please help as I love sketch and want to keep using it but this is ridiculous. I'm wondering if anyone else is having issues with Sketch running extremely slow.
Sketch file import in Adobe Experience Design CC
HelloI was wondering if anyone has any practical experience with importing Sketch files into Adobe Xd? According to Adobe’s online help it should be possible to export sketch layers as SVGs and drag them over to a Xd file. When trying, my results where pretty unusable.I wanted to see if it's easy to use both tools and maybe design in sketch and animate in Xd?
How do I copy/paste a vector graphic from Adobe Illustrator?
Hello all. New to the program but enjoying it so far.Unfortunately, I'm trying to copy and paste numerous vector graphics from an Adobe Illustrator file. I'm working very quick and from a file that has a ton of working concepts, so simply saving and exporting these graphics as individual EPSs or PDFs isn't going to cut it.I'm trying to copy and paste the vectors into Sketch and each time all that is pasted is an empty, white square. Does anyone know what's happening or if it can be fixed?
