Sketch has to play catch up and get people back to software they already left. I know people who used Sketch for years that don't actually know that it has a web app now. They've moved on and aren't looking back. Tweeting about Adobe isn't going to accomplish much long-term.
There's an inflection point where a tool becomes part of a de facto industry toolset. If most of your customers and partners use Figma, you do too. Figma's reached that point and Sketch has been on the downswing for years. They were rightfully outmaneuvered by Figma, and now Figma has a massive pool of resources on top of that.
At this point they'll need to do a lot more than copy Figma. Maybe they can luck out if Adobe doesn't understand Figma and causes some damage, but I wouldn't count on it. Perhaps there's some enterprise niche they can start to fill out.
- barelysapient 4y agoSketch as a web app? I literally just checked their website and couldn't find anything about the webapp. You nailed your analysis. I loved Sketch as a Mac user. But now that I'm a Linux user, I've fully switched to Figma. Figma is great because it replaced both Sketch and Omnigraffle for me.
- ushakov 4y agocan you export files from Figma? does it work offline?
- micromacrofoot 4y agoYou can export, and the offline mode is more for a situation where you lose connection and want to continue working (rather than completing a project from start to finish offline).
- GhoshAnkit 4y agoYeah.. That's possible, but sadly no editing and stuff.
- micromacrofoot 4y agoThe web app is for sharing/inspecting — so it's not a full fledged editor like Figma.
- GhoshAnkit 4y agoThey have a web app but it's only for collab and comments. Not edit like Figma
