    believe me, if they were Adobe you can kiss that “save local copy” feature goodbye, and they’ll say : well it’s cloud based, you don’t need local files

    Both Figma and Lunacy have their drawbacks and advantages, Lunacy is great if you’re an asset hoarder, ( there’s also the licensing problems, that’s why its best to stick to open source assets )

    Lunacy has Pichon which unfortunately doesn’t have a linux version, I wanted to use Linux, so that’s why I picked Figma

    When I first heard the news I immediately signed up to Penpot, it has potential and can be selfhosted so you can own your files

      I didn’t know about any licensing problems with Lunacy.

      Penpot I’m waiting for the desktop app. It’s dope and I await the native apps 🤞🏼

        The licensing issues don’t come from Lunacy, they come from the assets you download from the internet, many of them can be used for personal use but not commercial use, so if you design for a client and use a particulate set of icons or illustrations or fonts, the client might come back to you later saying someone emailed them regarding their unauthorized use of their assets, the client might not know what the hell is a copyright claim, theyll be confused, worst yet, frustrated with you

        Penpot has a desktop app ( I don’t know if it’s available on Windows ), made by a third party developer
