HN discussionBootstrap is great for what the name implies, but when you are delivering the product to the public, it's not good enough. The perfect example is iOS apps. Can you imagine your designers simply copying and pasting from iOS's default theme? It's very bland, it turns off users before they even use it (which in effect, is bad UX.

HN discussion> Apple's overwrought, realism aesthetic Well it's not like you've helped the issue with misleading, blanket statements like this. The problem with iOS/OSX is specific apps e.g. Game Center, Podcasts. The core OS itself is pretty neutral: http://www.teehanlax.com/blog/ios-6-gui-psd-iphone-5/

HN discussionIt looks to have been fixed, Just installed the 3.0 trial from their website. We have been evaluating a number of wireframing tools for iOS development over the last few weeks. Having only played for 3.0 for 20mins, along with this stencil > http://www.teehanlax.com/tools/iphone-sketch-app/ (just need them to convert to the new Stencil) its pretty good. Best I have found so far. I was about to start work with Omnigr…

HN discussionLoved the article, not a fan of the 2.4MB video of hands typing on an Apple keyboard [1] I was forced to download. I'm just glad I wasn't on a mobile connection (tethered or otherwise) with a bandwidth cap. I searched for methods to disable MP4 video downloading on both Chrome and Firefox, but they don't appear to work (for Firefox, it was about setting media.autoplay.enabled to false). If anyone knows how I would b…

HN discussionIn my experience, of the best ways to get started in design is to replicate other people's designs as perfectly as you can, just to get the hang of designing something good. For example, the other day I recreated the hat icon here: http://hicksdesign.co.uk . This is mine: http://cl.ly/GYHw . If you make one thing every day, you'll eventually be pretty good at fleshing out your own ideas. Resources: http://pttrns.com…

HN discussionI'm curious as to why you list things that you haven't used - I think the list should be a little more curated. I would add these to the list, which have been essential to my learning iOS design: http://pttrns.com http://www.teehanlax.com/blog/iphone-4-gui-psd-retina-displa...

HN discussionThe closest I've found so far is here: http://www.tapptics.com/ It mostly has resources similar to the Teehan+Lax template ( http://www.teehanlax.com/downloads/ ) - useful to build your own themes, but not usable as out-of-the-box themes. There's only one pre-made iPhone theme on the site right now.
