Looks nice and something I could use. However, I have a rough time buying into apps that are built for one platform only. I move daily between Mac, Linux and occasionally windows and want the tools I put time and money into to be available in all platforms.

  But one‘s personal time is worth much more than ten dollars. It a more efficient use of this time to solve a problem once instead of solving it on each platform separately.

    You get a text file (if you export it). The format is cross-platform. You could make the initial in Monodraw, export it as a text file and delete de monopic file so you get a cross platform format. Editing will then be cumbersome.

      You have an exported text file. While that may be cross platform, as soon as it is modified the monodraw file is no longer the source of truth for the diagram and the advantages of using it in the first place are lost or require someone to go back and update the original and export it again (and move it through the workflow).

  It's a perfectly valid sentiment, and if anything, should not be met with reactions like yours which only create a toxic environment. Any entitlements you're seeing is imaginary or a projection.

  Seems a slightly strong response for something that doesn't suggest an entitlement attitude, merely a preference. To me, it seems a reasonable preference: going for cross-platform supported tools is sensible for those without the luxury of working on just one platform and barring cases where apps are built on a platform specific library it's typically not that hard to find such apps.

Yes, the creation/edition process must happen on macOS but the produced file may be exported as a text file and you get the original file and as such you are not locked in a proprietary format. To me it looks different than other image editing software. I mean, you could make the drawing without monopic with a text editor, it is just a convenience, but it is a really good one.

Then use some Electron trash instead.
