Wow, this looks great and the pricing is awesome. Any plans for a Linux version?

Thanks for the feedback! There's nothing in Vexlio's software stack that would prevent a Linux version (thanks to the Mono project), but it would take a non-negligible time investment to make it happen. I'll have to see if there's enough demand for a Linux version before I decide to tackle it.

  +1 for Linux version!

  Another +1 for a Linux version. Is there some similar tool avaialble on Linux for now?

  I would also accept paying more for a Linux version if the port is done correctly.

  I'd also suggest that you create a waitlist (or "interest list") for the linux version.

  I'd really love a good GUI framework for .NET Core on Linux, but there's nothing really out there yet.

    The next version Xamarin.Forms will have Linux support, from what I've read.

  Linux support would be fantastic. Inkscape is not powerful enough and everything nice is Windows or Mac only :(

I would buy a linux version of this.

  +1. I would also like a linux version.

  As would I.

  +1 here too for a Linux version. this might also help you expand to markets like academia, where vector-based graphics are desirable and often used in paper and technical document creation, and where Linux is frequently used as well.

  I would as well.

  Flagged as possible replacement for my Visio-in-a-VM workflow (I don't use most of Visio's vast feature set), since it can do that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14555490 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14555490

  I don't know that I would buy the Linux version right now, but I would certainly be interested and keep the program in my bookmarks for when I will need it.
