I'm sad we don't have an open-source alternative to these. Something like Blender but for UX design. Surely it's nice to have a backing of a private company but they seem to switch every few years. Before Figma, Sketch was the big thing. Probably in a few years something else will come up and require us to convert to that. An open-source alternative would perhaps make it more easy to adapt and change based on the community's necessities?

    Ok, but I wanted inform @sktrdie about Akira.

There was an open source Figma tool I ran into some time back with decent functionality. It was not Akira, but not sure that it was called. I'll try and find the tool and add it.

There is also Penpot, which was released some weeks ago. It is pretty usable and FOSS. https://penpot.app/ https://penpot.app/ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26000257 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26000257
