Ask HN: What is the future of Designing in the Browser? Is it the best approach?

Hi,I am new to user experience and user interface design stuff. I am been reading a lot lately on 'designing in the browser' is the way to go in long term. I just want your opinion as to the pros and cons of these two methods. Personally, I was not too comfortable with designing in the browser stuff. Feel that creativity takes a back-seat. What are your thoughts? Sorry, if I am being naive.

so true....
Thank you all for your inputs and really interesting opinions and point of views. Appreciate it people :) I know mental toughness can't be learnt sitting at home reading a book, a combination of reading and maybe some physical, gruelling activities goes a long way in improving mental toughness. Putting yourself through that physical pain is a must.

Mobile app or mobile website?

Assume that you are a medium sized business, with around 20-50 employees. You are in a B2B business. Which would you invest in primarily? A mobile website? Or a mobile app? And why?

Ask HN: How to monetize a mobile app?

There are tons of articles on the internet about app monetization. None provides real-life advice like a case study would. We are planning to launch a mobile app in the next few months and want to learn about some ways to monetize the app. Given that app monetization is only getting tougher by the day - what are some ways app monetization can work in 2018?

Would love to know more about these actual examples and see how these work.
Interesting. What do you think WP will be like in the coming years even if it is stagnating?

Sorry, I should have been more specific. After some googling...SaaS + WordPress sounds interesting to me. So, I want to explore how SaaS startups can leverage this framework. Since wp is open source and startups have to operate on a shoe-string budget, it would be interesting to know how one can build a SaaS with WordPress. Are there any real-world, existing examples for this. Thanks.

Re:Ask HN: Where can I get design feedback? on Tuesday October 17, 2017 @10:27AM (#15491130)
Thanks. This helps because I have operated under a lot of limitations from client, he won't understand designing from a conversion point of view. That's why I did try to give my best. I was also told that an intervention from another designer is necessary.

Ask HN: Where can I get design feedback?

For the first time in my life I have created a design for a client using Photoshop. Can somebody pls help critique this. I am open to any type of feedback. The idea is to learn and evolve. Also, it would be great if you guys could share some websites where I can upload designs and get feedback. URL: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qx7n4ukunopl3vl/fabmath-new-page.jpg?dl=0Thanks.

Can't seem to open this site.
one look at n-gate and it looks promising. Thanks.
We are really not desperate with the option he has offered. I think we will pass on and have decided to remain silent for the email he sent to us. Agree with you that we can meet such people in the times to come. It's better to stop wasting time on them. Thanks.
Thanks..appreciate for replying...
Thanks appreciate your feedback.
On top of it he now says, he wants to have a list of all the work we have done so far as a proof so that he can show it to his management as a proof of our experience. It is clear he wants to copy our work from different samples and setup his website within 20 days.

Ask HN: Prospect wants to work but won't increase budget – What are my options?

So, we run a small two people agency that offers services relating to wireframes, IA, UX and copywriting. This prospect approaches us to redo their existing website. He says he wants satire-based copywriting along with wireframes and UX support too. Also, his in-house team is not good enough at design and he wants us to direct them as well on design front. He asked us to do a sample so that he...
