Hi everyone!
I'm about to dive into the process of kerning using Glyphs for the first time! Earlier I've been doing this in RoboFont and Metrics Machine, but now I want to do it in Glyphs. From what I can tell the process looks very different.
I'd love to hear about your process! What plugins do you use? How do you create your groups? Do you have any useful tips?
Thank you!

@Johannes Neumeier Thanks for the tip.
Pity I am a FL and Glyphs user and it hasn't yet been ported to any of these tools.
It has been. For Glyphs 2.5: https://github.com/schriftgestalt/kernalytics-rf-ext
Still may have a bug or two.
I don't know how your inDesign file looks like, but what I like about Metrics Machine is that it shows you stuff in context and you are kerning "live". I guess having a really well prepared string of text for Glyphs (with a of of combinations in context) and pasting it all in one window, then tackling them one by one would have a similar level of efficiency.
On Type Supply it reads is no longer updated. Is there legacy version to try or is this tool kaput?
What's the exact pixel density, if I may ask?
I've got a Retina 15" Mac with 220 ppi, and a 13" Dell with 331 ppi, and I'm starting to think it makes a huge difference.
So it's not a simple as 218 vs. 1200.
