Adobe shouldn’t be allowed to by anything.
And they should be forced to document / open their file formats. They’re way too big already and one of the shittiest anti-consumer companies out there.
They should be forced to suck the dick of everyone paying for their subscription! Fucking prostitutes are cheaper!
Adobe is a company I refuse to pay my money to. I will always pirate their software no matter what.
Nah don’t even pirate it. There are really good alternatives for anything but After Effects
I’m using Photoshop since v5. I can’t even make a screenshot without it these days.
Haha well that’s a bit sad. You might wanna give Affinity Photo a shot. The interface is miles ahead of photoshop but functionality is not quite there yet
If it ain’t broke - don’t fix it.
I just spit my water
What’s Figma?
Figma balls
Lmao gottem
My first thought, and thank you for showing me there are others like us in the world!
A tool to design user interfaces/wireframes with prototyping possibilities
Adobe can’t even make a good competitor, with Xd they’re still years behind. After they by Figma they can get back to being lazy and do almost no upgrades. I was happy that Adobe was struggling, we finally got to see what happens if they need to catch up or listen to the users.
Well, we saw what happens when they need to catch up: they buy up their competitor.
Just for looks. They will end up approving it just like with the Activision buy out.
Activision is pretty much dead. There’s no controversy there.
What’s the outcome likely to be? Is this sale/merger really going to get stopped? It’s certainly anti-competitive bs
Is Figma a fork of Ligma?
I thought they already bought Figma. Anyways Penpot all the way.
I’m so confused, I thought Salesforce bought them, but I guess I’m confusing shitty companies. Anyway yeah I also thought the deal went through already, HN was really depressed for a day.
I’m using Lunacy by Icons8 atm. Penpot doesn’t have a desktop app yet, and I’m not comfortable with being constantly dependent on the internet.
Lunacy has offline support, with local .Sketch file support. So I’m down.
Edit:
Also also, they allow Figma imports.
YES. They import your Figma projects… There’s just one catch - They import the objects as SVGs, so you’ll have to edit the SVG to get access to the individual elements. But it shouldn’t be too hard.
Plus, the app is a native Windows app, so it’s insanely snappy!
They support importing from Figma 🤔 I’ll check, thanks for the advice 👐
How did I not mention that?! YES. They import your Figma projects… There’s just one catch - They import the objects as SVGs, so you’ll have to edit the SVG to get access to the individual elements. But it shouldn’t be too hard.

Is that still being developed?
yep
Damn, they’re even on mastodon
Hey @penpot!
Do you have an opinion on the EU vs Figma buyout case? A opinion from a competitor would be interesting.
