Splice (2D/3D design in your browser) has added support for progressive blur & gradients, and the results look awesome.

I haven’t seen anything advance like this in Adobe‘s core apps in maybe 20 years— maybe 25, since Illustrator & Acrobat added support for transparency.

We are adding Progressive Blur + Gradients to Hana!
All interactive, all real-time.

On an aesthetically similar note, check out the launch video for the new version of Sketch (still very much alive & kicking in an age of Figma, it seems):

Remember when we said auto layout was coming to Sketch? It’s here. It’s called Stacks, and it’s part of our biggest release ever — out now.

There’s a lot to cover, so buckle up and we’ll give you a tour.

Also, stick around for a surprise at the end of the thread
