Tangentially related, but if any of you work with designers or are yourselves designers, please give Figma a try. It is identical to Sketch in so many ways, better in some others (particularly editing vectors and dealing with nested "symbols" or other components), and only falls behind in a few areas. If any of you have had to deal with the nightmare of keeping your design files in sync between designers forgetting to push changes to dropbox or InVision, or multiple designers working together and having their changes fall out of sync, the ability to edit and view the same document together cannot be overstated.

Are you related to the company?

No relation, I just really like it.

Sketch keeps working after the subscription expires.

Affinity is pay once, use as long as you want.

It looks like Figma is a SaaS. Might as well pay for Adobe if one wants to give up even the meagre amount of ownership they had over their software.

Is there anything you miss from sketch? what do you think sketch does better?

Re:Rust in production at Figma by ralusek on Wednesday May 02, 2018 @06:21PM (#16981668)
Sketch has good plugins, like Craft. Figma only just introduced an analogous concept, so if you rely heavily on any you might miss it.

Can Figma import/edit .sketch files?
Re:Rust in production at Figma by ralusek on Wednesday May 02, 2018 @06:18PM (#16981642)
Yes it can import them, but not export back.
