<p>Let’s admit it first and freely.</p>
<p>As an UI designer I regularly work on <a href="https://medium.com/u/bc93a5e08bbd">Adobe Creative Cloud</a> apps on Windows . Such as <a href="https://medium.com/u/76515dd8bb3d">Adobe Photoshop</a>, Illustrator, After Effect etc. On day I discover the one of the greatest invention for UI designers, <a href="https://medium.com/u/d39f69b23aa2">Sketch</a>. It makes the design process 10x faster .</p>
<p>As like other I was really exited about sketch, but wait !!! what ??? It’s available only on <strong>MacOS. </strong>You gotta be kidding me 🙁</p>
