I agree with other commenters here. Its too late for Sketch. Sketch has promised to go Browser by the year end. Figma was already there 2 years back.
Figma is eating their lunch. It does what Sketch does & much much more - in the browser.
I moved from Sketch to Adobe XD to Figma. Not going back.
- nkrisc 8y agoWhat's the benefit of doing it in the browser? That sounds like a downside for me. I like having my documents stored on my drive, I even have some scripts I wrote to format my files.
- firmgently 8y agoI don't know much about figma but you can save .fig files from the browser app to your hard drive (I just did it to check). I'm not sure if any other apps can make use of .fig files so you may well still be tied to the app in that sense but you can at least own/archive your working files.

- mtgentry 8y agoThey have a standalone app which feels almost as nice to use as Sketch's native Mac app. The main difference is when you see that loading bar because it's contacting the server.
- kowdermeister 8y agoThat they are Mac only at the moment so to expand that's their logical next step.
