This is really good news 🥳
Figma is such a great project I use it all the time, even for Random thoughts, and adobe was going to ruin it by making it part of their suite of apps, and of course making the free tier worthless or removing it altogether
I don't like the lack of a native app on Figma. Also, the lack of offline files.
But it wasn't Adobe. So fuck them.
Then I heard they were buying Figma and that was the last straw. I switched to Lunacy (by icons8). It's got a native app for Windows, works offline AND supports Figma project importing 😁😁😁. I miss the Figma plugin store, NGL. But I can just add stuff to a Figma project and then import into Lunacy at this point 😂

I didn't know about any licensing problems with Lunacy.
Penpot I'm waiting for the desktop app. It's dope and I await the native apps 🤞🏼

I see...
Also, WHAT?! WHY HAVEN'T I SEEN THIS BEFORE?!
Edit: nvm. Not a windows package 🫠
I was very disappointed when Adobe tried to acquire figma, I switched from XD to figma only to minimize my digital experience from Adobe. It's a great news
I didn't like the workflow of AdobeXD and the product seemed badly put together, like half offline/half online
Also I wanted to use Linux :-)
Adobe love their money, they buy the competition and tie it to their creative cloud, which means they also love DRM, I was disappointed when they bought that 3D texturing software ( forgot it's name ) even though I don't use it, but I hate to see stuff like this happen because it kills innovation
time to revive that buggy adobeXD I guess .... xD
