What design programs do you use instead of Photoshop, what do you prefer about them, what makes your chosen program better or worse in comparison, are their AI enhanced features like CC 2021, is there a Suite of applications that inherently work together, do I ever need to use Photoshop again?
Akira. This app is still in early development, but I think it is a really nice project. It is a vector graphic editor, graphic design software and vector art app.

It's time to work on apps.... Any suggestion?
It's a big project for sure, but Alessandro Castellani is the dev for Akira that I could see being the blueprint/framework for the app. Check out his talk at edw where he demo Akira: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_Lyx550Js8 .

UI elements with a hand-drawn, sketchy look
My absolute favorite for hand-drawn-esque elements is Excalidraw (https://excalidraw.com/). Immediately became enamored by the UX and the ability to get done what I was looking for. It stores everything locally on your browser, which makes it easy to work offline as well.

How I built a Multiplayer App in 3 days
Just before I went to sleep last Sunday I thought it would be fun to create an app for my friends and I where we can rate the Eurovision Song Contest participants live together. The idea was to have everyones votes being tallied up live as we make adjustments to the ratings. This led me into looking at Replicache as the solution. I've been interested in trying it out for a while now and this was the perfect project for it. I quickly threw together a sketch on Excalidraw so I would have something to go on for tomorrow.
