Sad news. Wishing them the very best.

I loved Sketch. It was refreshing to use coming from illustrator and eventually adobe XD which was a poor-man's Figma (lol). Figma really just got everything right though, not platform-specific, and just much easier to share and work together.

Curious to see how Figma turns out after Adobe runs it.

Sketch for me died the moment they locked workspaces behind a subscription.

I’m sorry to hear this, but as an active user, here is what they delivered in the past 3 years:

1. Not much that I’d use or remember

2. No AutoLayout - which is a definite must have for anyone designing interfaces

They need to radically change their approach to every piece of the software

Doesn't Sketch have smart layout in symbols? And they released multiplayer coediting last year.

That’s a very limited thing, at this point almost every frame in my UIs is autolayout, it’s that indispensable.

User (subscriber) since the first release — To this day I prefer the native feeling over the clunkiness of Figma — Hope they keep on shipping. Mind-boggling though why a product like this needs more than a couple dozen capable makers.
