It would have been brilliant for Linux desktop users.
- hbosch 10y agoIt's pretty clear that they are targeting designers with this product, and that audience is very largely on macOS.
- sandGorgon 10y agoThat is an unfortunate case of chicken-and-egg. And even more so, when you look at Facebook pushing education and internet.org in developing countries. India uses Linux much more than the Mac.
- pjmlp 10y agoI bet they even use Windows more, even if not all copies are legit.
- hbosch 10y agoEducation and internet.org don't really have anything to do with this product.
- sandGorgon 10y agonot directly.. and I also realize I dont have any right to angst in this case as well. It would have been so much better to have a cross platform solution though.
- mobiuscog 10y agoA decent 'designer' would at least specify the OS and requirements somewhere on the page. Perhaps the title should reflect it's a mac-only tool.
- rounce 10y agoI remember this originally being released as a set of Quartz Composer templates. Might have something to do with it?
