Yes, we're planning to support Windows, Linux, plus an in-browser editor. Starting with Mac just helped us ship sooner.

We agree with you that for cross-platform dev, multi-OS authoring support is important. Windows support is expected mid-2018; I hesitate to put a date on Linux yet since we haven't deeply scoped it out, e.g. which distros we can easily support.

In browser editing would be awesome. Sketch was awesome, but Figma changed the way I work. I work both in Windows and Mac, and it is unbelievable how far browser based tools have come I have Haiku at home on Mac (beta tester) and now on Windows at work.... Browser support would be perfect for continuing where I left off regardless of the machine I am on.

What is it about Figma that changed the way you work?

Awesome! Browser-editor would support everything out-of-the-box, while a Linux native editor would be awesome as well.

Very glad to hear and looking forward to hearing news in the future.

Would be cool if it supported Haiku OS too. :)

Ha! We'd love to. We're fans of the Haiku OS project — as we scope out posix/*nix support, we'll be giving Haiku for Haiku a serious look.

Neat! Feel free to give me a buzz if you get stuck with anything. Always happy to help people port stuff. :)
