You are amazing!!! See this is what a "things you should know" tutorial should be like because I am completely new and this is EASY to follow!! Useful features and very important features too! Thanks Jesse!!

[patrickvandenakker]

I love your TUTS, the explanation is calm, yet exciting, not too fast, not too slow. It´s just right, it´s so right your lack of explanation towards PC users doesn´t even bother me ;p Keep up the awesome work!

wow, been waiting for someone to upload a newest XD video with good quality, thanks so much

[marsfuture]

Awesome, just what I was looking for. I worked with XD for a while two years ago, and needed a reminder to be able to jump back in. You delivered exactly that - all the essentials. Thanks a lot!

Thanks Jesse, I really appreciate the video. Just got XD and it's been somewhat of a struggle, but certainly see the power and opportunities...especially when I watch videos like this. Thanks again!

Thanks for the video, trying to get in to Xd in companionship with Figma, as I already pay monthly for the CC subscription

I've just started learning about UI design. I see in your videos you cover Adobe XD, Sketch and Figma. Where does Adobe Dreamweaver fall into it all?

[ladyj]

Hi Jesse you have a true and natural gift to teach. Superb intro to XD. How do we add videos? Thank you.

[AkhileshKumar-ljqp]

Great sir you are the awesome teacher 😉😉

[ferociousnugget]

would you recommend using adobe xd over sketch? We must use sketch but I feel like xd would be a little better

[stratoskatsipidis]

Hi jesse got a question whats wrong with the line height box in XD, looks like it's not responding to custom values when typing in point text (one line headers)!!! and how to deal with it ?, in figma works perfect you just add the value and the box adjusts.Keep up that awesome content flowing. THANKS

Jesse. could you do a video on EditorX. on one of their sample templates. could you do the Game design template. and how they use the pins and scrolls... thanks in advanced.. cheerios

[dsdesilva]

Please do video about different viewport heigts and width..👍❤️

[maura]

Hi Jesse Thank you so much for this video. One thing I don't quite understand is the difference between the UI kits and the plugins. Is one better than the other to use? Or is it ok to use both? I'm new to this.

[mae]

You are the best for these videos. You and this other bloke.. hahahahaha but you are badass.

What do you think about UI UX in the future will develop amazingly. I mean, will there be a lot of new things or not. I do not see that and I do not know the reason. What is your opinion . 😅
Add at the end of the video question of the day .QTD. And answer some questions. Great idea, isn't it .😍🙏🙏
Thanks Jesse ❤

i have a question. okay we design this. but how i can use it in website or app?
how can i convert and use it in website or app?

[icugab]

Hi Jesse! I had a question about overlays in XD. It's a great tool and I was wondering what would you personally use specifically use overlays for? And when would you not and just stick to transitions using different artboards?

[abdou]

Someone needs to tell Adobe to add 'Animation Component' feature like in Figma or Principle.
We need to be able to make Microinteraction without the need to duplicate the entire artboard multiple times.
