When I was speaking with a friend about dividend stock. I have most of my investments in stock and have had some education in such investment vehicles, and also realised the dangers of promoting tools that people aren’t trained to use. It made me remember that the best performing tools to this day have been awarded a Nobel prize for the research on index funds performing best over time. More on this in the last newsletter on my “How to money” Substack newsletter, see you there.
I started making some simple illustrations in Figma for my Substack Newsletter about money. Generic stock images just don’t do it for me and I know how to use Figma (recently acquired by Adobe).
While I’d usually use it for product development and UX it is also a tool I love to use for a variety of occasions. My old co-founder used it to make gingerbread house patterns due to its preciseness and simplicity.
Its collaborative and fast interface thanks to shorter load times runs on Web Assembly (as opposed to its competitors that were built several decades ago) and is the best thing since sliced bread for creating in the browser. I was lucky to live in the bay area when I found it early on and have been a fan ever since. Once you go Figma you never go back.
