Figma’s really gunning at a Slack with this move, as Sketch’s plugin ecosystem is a huge reason as to why it’s successful. (Edit: this doesn’t bring extension support, but is definitely a step towards that goal)
For any other designers on HN, have you switched to Figma to Sketch, and if so, why?
Not a designer myself, but at our company Sketch is not an option because (afaik) Sketch files are not editable on anything else than macOS. So Figma it is.
I was really impressed (but initially skeptical) when I saw that their webapp is built with C++ and compiled for the web. Pretty cool to see their crossplatform efforts paid off:
Interesting, we have a Sketch to Invision workflow that works pretty well for devs who aren’t on Macs. The biggest turnoff for me regarding Figma is the fact that you need to have access to the web in order to use it. With Sketch, I can use it as long as my laptop has power. This is great if you have to do work in planes or hotels that have sketchy WiFi.
