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 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

AI-butchered headlines are my favorite headlines. After a while of baker and bread baking the bread after fifteen minutes. And how!

Shot down by the CMA. Absolutely based.

Adobe must’ve been sure it’d get through because their own competing software has had barely any updates in the past year. Sucks to be them I guess.

Feels like I’m having a stroke reading this title.
