It makes even more sense now: https://blog.prototypr.io/why-sketch-will-buy-figma-454d76137771 @Stephen: If you succeed to really deliver what your video is showing, I can tell you man, you will crush the game.
Because Adobe runs a $6B business and Figma has just raised $18M. Pieter Omvlee repeated that he doesn't want to take an outside investment but at some point, you need (more) money if you want to compete against others even if you are self-sufficient and profitable. You have to adapt and evolve.
Not sure. You can imagine that if they gonna buy Figma, they will need a lot of cash. So they will need investment to raise money. You can assume that part of the money raised will be used to increase the developing team to handle this. It just has to be planned! This is the killer feature. Otherwise it's only a vector-based tool and providing no much more than Illustrator or Sketch.
How do you know this? Are you the accountable of Bohemian Coding? Come on buddy. The thing is we don't know how much Sketch is valuated as they still didn't open their company to investment. Meaning we don't know how much they could raise (which would be a lot I think and much more than the $18M raised by Figma). And please, do you really think they gonna buy Figma with the money that they currently have on their bank account and in cash or using Venmo? They are not buying the iPhone 8. Peace :-)
Merci pour ta participation couzin !
Because today plugins rely on an app, right. From now on, there is no plugin for Figma which browser-based. This means that there would be some dev needed to make plugins work on both platforms. What do I miss here?
Be sure that if I had any data on the number of people using Sketch or whatever, it would have been used. Dare to tell me that most of the people around who are designing interfaces (UX/UI - Product Designer) are not using Sketch? Sorry but this is bad-faith! I always mentioned that Sketch is widely used among UX/UI - Product Designer. Peace buddy ;-)
It is sometimes good because it makes you thinking about something that you didn't even think about. It helps you diverge. And please! My assumption is not unreal. It could happen.
You know nothing, Jon Snow.

Best combo ever. However I would add Pocket to the workflow as I don't have the time to read everything.
