The UI designer’s tool of choice, Sketch, has just received a significant update. The version 3.4 release from Bohemian Coding includes dozens of new features, and even more bug fixes.

Sketch has never failed to impress with its minimal interface, feature-rich tool set, and design-lead workflow. It also has an unenviable—and not entirely deserved—reputation for a lack of robustness. However the sheer number of bugs resolved in this update may finally silence the nay-sayers.

90 separate bugs have been isolated and resolved, ranging from the inconvenient (the layers list’s scrollbar no longer obscures the hide and lock icons) to the essential (Sketch no longer crashes when you change fonts).

The new Material Design preset.

In addition to the necessary fixes, dozens of new features have been added: one of Sketch’s most trusted features is the auto-save, but for those occasions when it’s inconvenient, it can now be disabled in the preferences; quick masking has been enabled for bitmaps; moving layers isn’t locked to whole pixels when pixel fitting is disabled; a replace image… option has been added when right-clicking an image; SVG images can now be dragged straight into Sketch from the browser.

Additional new features allow you to:

• edit the layout or grid of multiple artboards simultaneously;
• manage installed plugins in a dedicated preferences pane;
• preview artboards in the browser;
• share artboards on local networks;
• make use of a new Material Design preset;
• use the command key for distance measuring between layers inside groups;
• use option-hover on the layer list to measure the distance to the selected layer;
• see transparency clearly when exporting, thanks to the new CC-style checkerboard background.

In addition to the new features, Sketch users will notice a number of changes:

• the reliability of undo and redo has been improved;
• copy and paste is now more predictable;
• rotating a layer in the inspector now rotates clockwise;
• double export buttons in the artboard inspector have been removed;
• zooming is now faster, especially for multiple zooms, or mousewheel zooming;
• gradients are now based on the current fill color;
• plugins now have the option to disable CocoaScript preprocessing.

A full list of features, changes, and bug fixes is available on the Sketch website.

Version 3.4 of Sketch is a free update for licensed users, app store users can log into their account for the update, non-app store users can find the update here.

JSON Generator is a free web tool for building sample JSON content. You simply enter a few parameters based on custom data like avatar photos, user names, etc.

A built-in algorithm passes over the syntax to create fully-functioning custom JSON data for any web application.

The site was created by Vazha Omanashvili as a project for generating JSON code & managing custom blocks of sample data.

While the site has been online and runs perfectly, it still has a little ways to go beyond just a simple code generator. Many devs would like to see JSON Generator follow a similar path of jsFiddle or CodePen.

In fact a brand new version JSON Generator has recently been released with personal accounts, pre-built templates, custom code forking and a whole lot more. Although it’s still in beta you can test it out live to see how it fares.

Either way this can be a fantastic application for testing JSON code or just compiling sample data for a web application.

To stay on top of new releases you can follow the official Twitter account @JSONGenerator.

Phalcon PHP is a high-performance PHP framework that’s both open source and highly-customizable. It runs on PHP with the ability to also tie into C extensions.

If you’re a PHP developer this may already sound confusing. But in truth Phalcon is meant to be quick and simple – the framework can tie into classes & functions found in the C extensions, but they’ll run in PHP code.

Take a look at the install page to get an idea of the setup process.

There’s also a very in-depth documentation area that explains all the primary features and methods you’ll get right out of the box.

Folks who are just getting started will likely have reservations. It may even take some courage just to install & try to use Phalcon. But thankfully there’s an incredible discussion forum along with many Stack Overflow questions to get you on the right track.

You can also try tweeting the official Twitter account @phalconphp with any questions you may have.

Since Phalcon is open source you’ll find everything you need right on GitHub. The repo has a download link for the latest version of Phalcon + basic install instructions.

If you want to see the app in action then take a look at this tutorial video for creating a new Phalcon webapp.

The toughest part about implementing a new plugin or framework is time spent browsing the documentation. Well-organized documentation is easy to find on larger projects – not so much on smaller releases.

Thankfully DevDocs has compiled all sources together onto one website. On DevDocs you’ll find the API/source documentation for everything from HTML & CSS to systems like Angular, Laravel, and Sass.

While this doesn’t contain every single project known to man, it does contain all the largest and most useful languages/frameworks for developers. There’s also a handy search bar to limit based on keywords related to your problem.

DevDocs is also completely free which makes it super handy for, well, every situation.

If you’d rather take it offline you can download copies locally to your machine.

The site even has a help page with keyboard shortcuts & tricks for navigating quicker.

And naturally this whole project has been released for free on GitHub so you’re able to contribute and even download a copy of the whole webapp locally for future reference.
