Top 5 in UX & UI Design #01
Our bi-weekly news on what’s latest in the world of UX and UI design. Tips, tricks, tools and resources to help speedup your workflow.
1. Sketch Design Starter Kit by LS Designs (2 Options starting at $27/ ₹1,872)
This beautiful design system was created to help you efficiently start off your next responsive web design project.
The detailed UI kit, along with the grid system options and many detailed skeleton structures add to the appeal. They even have included an entire illustration starter pack which is customisable very easily to suit your project’s requirements.
You can view all of the elements in this kit on Sketch Cloud here.
Try Sample (rasterized), or choose your buying option here.
2. Fast (Free)
Have you ever been on a new e-commerce platform checking out something that you were thinking about and suspiciously were shown an ad for almost immediately — only to be forced to create a new ID with said platform, making you drop off from the site?
Enter Fast, where single tokens are generated, and you login within seconds! If you’re a store owner, this is a must have for your online store.
Like they say — “You don’t need an arbitrary 10 character password to walk into a store, so why do we need them online?”
Fast also allows the users to remotely view and kill sessions, leaving them in control. Watch their explainer video here, or create your Fast Account here.
3. Sketch Cache Cleaner (Free)
If you use sketch to design your UI projects, then you probably already know that a lot of information gets cached and stored locally on your machine, thereby making it perform less efficiently and slower.
This is a fantastic tool designed by YOOP to help you identify and clear up that disk space within seconds, for free!

4. Launchaco — Name Checker (Free)
Finding a name for your startup is one thing, but in today’s world there are many deeper steps that you need to take before finalising just a domain name.
Launchaco recently was integrated into Namecheap (which is the second largest retail domain registrar, and fully supports a free and open internet)
Just type in any name you want, and this handy tool will help you cross check across social media, and possible domains, and sorted into this beautiful, clean and easy to understand interface instantly!

5. Remove BG
Okay, there are a lot of tools out there that promise to do this, but nothing as simple and quick as this.
No matter what the BG is, it will automatically detect the subject of the image and cleanly remove the BG for you in seconds — and it’s free! The online tool is seamless, and recently they have introduced a new photoshop plugin for which the first 40 API calls are completely free.
Use it online here, or download the Photoshop Plugin here.
