Enigogo is a curated directory of resources and tools for digital creatives. Tools are divided between disciplines such as blogger or developer and sorted by categories such as stock photos. The lists can easily be filtered between paid and free tools (handy).

Socionity

Socionity is a new app for micro cooporation. It allows two people to help each other with small tasks by sharing information about what they know. Most of these tasks are in the domain of marketing, developing and design.

Sketch 51

Another update to the Mac exclusive design software. Sketch 51 brings library styles, fixed elements in prototypes and improved performance when editing complex documents. Is it as buggy as past releases? Absolutely, but many of us still love it regardless.

InVision Mobile
