Alright, so I feel stupid today. Someone mentioned a startup weekend they’d done and a participant in their group using Inkscape for a mockup and I was curious what it was. Once I learned it was a free tool for visualizations like SVGs, I thought, “Oh! I need to add this to my web dev how to site!” Joke’s on me, it’s already linked there. How embarrassing for me. 😀 The two days in which I wrote that site are a complete blur that I clearly don’t remember at all. However, I did follow that with making marketing give us SVGs for every graphic we have to use in our dashboards now and the logos are all so crisp and clear now. It’s fantastic.
If you aren’t quite sure what SVGs are and how they work, I wrote up a nice little overview from a development perspective here: https://sarahmaas.github.io/how_to/tools.html
Inkscape is free and open source software under the GPL. 🙂 That said, there’s no reason not to go ahead and check it out for yourself: https://inkscape.org/en/
