Sketch goes subscription-based
- ukdm 10y agoIs this a subscription? No. Once your license has expired you can still use the app for as long as you want. We will not force you to pay again to use it. You don’t have to renew your license if you don’t want to.
- dawnerd 10y agoI'd say it's a subscription when you have to have the latest version if you're working with other designers.
- ColinWright 10y agoHow many submissions of this story are we going to get? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11861188 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11861188 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11861255 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11861255 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11861273 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11861273 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11861329 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11861329 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11861473 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11861473 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11861553 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11861553 (1 comment) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11861656 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11861656 (2 comments) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11862255 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11862255 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11862687 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11862687 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11863487 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11863487 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11864219 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11864219 (this one)
- melling 10y agoEveryone is submitting the extra tracking (e.g. #.8gco2nehu) That might have helped with this story. It seems like there was a lot of interest but you know how things move fast on HN...
- didgeoridoo 10y agoYep. @dang, thought the dupe detector was robust against this sort of thing?
- oellegaard 10y agoThis software is moving too fast imo. Our designer uses it and routinely I can't open files because they changed the file format. Also, didn't they just recently move away from the App Store?
- pault 10y agoConsider switching to the affinity suite [1]. I use it for all my personal projects, and professionally if I can get my coworkers/clients to use it too, which I strongly advise. It's full-featured and much cheaper than Adobe software, and IMO comes with less upgrade headaches than sketch.

- dkuntz2 10y agoI am kicking myself a little for just buying Sketch right before this. I was considering Affinity too.
- tommoor 10y agoNo it isn't, you buy the software as before and get updates free for a year. This is not a subscription.
