This forces the user to have to download a plugin in order to have 'proper' resizing functionality - such as "Fluid" or the better "Auto Layout".īut the bugs and lack of functionality don't end there. Resizing options are hard to understand, and buggy, often not allowing you to have the resizing effect you need. Sketch's "Resize" function is, however, limited and buggy: it does not resize items based on your canvas size (only on container groups).
If I want to create full-blown animations from my static designs, that is another.Īn app that is designed for mocking up user interfaces of websites should, however, have pretty solid built-in *auto-resizing* tools - tools which should help me align and resize my layout elements to fit into different sized canvases.
If I want my designs to be automatically uploaded to some third-party online sharing service, that is a good use-case for a plugin. Plugins should address edge use-cases, which might not be interesting or financially viable for the developer to cater for. This is an app that has what are now long-standing, frustrating omissions and faults.Īn app should have all the functionality its users need 'out-of-the-box', and should not rely on extensions and plugins to provide functionality that core users may consider 'essential'. Unfortunately, IMHO, that is not the case. Add to this the fact that Sketch should be receiving a healthy injection of cash from its 'subscription-ware' business model, and you'd expect a solid, refined and feature-full application. There are now dozens of plugins adding features to the app, and integrating it with external third-party services. Sketch has become the 'de facto' tool for UI design - i.e., for producing mockups for both mobile apps, as well as websites.
