This is great news. I am a long time Inkscape user, but every time I open it for quick edits on macOS I am overwhelmed by performance issues and crashes. I resort to using Figma nowadays but it doesn’t work exactly like a vector graphics editor.

I hope the author pulls of the same black magic they did with Photopea.

Photopea has completely replaced my Photoshop usage, and now that I have an Illustrator equivalent, that monthly creative cloud subscription isn't looking too appealing...

I agree Photopea is great but they're asking $8 a month which is only $2 less than Photoshop

The comparison is not quite equal. Because if I don’t pay for photopea, I can still use it for free with ads. So in effect it’s like a pay-what-you-want pricing model.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

And it expires on 2024-01-27 Talk about not committing untill proven.

That part is pretty normal though. Or do you guys pay your domains multiple years at a time? Personally I renew mine yearly for the most part.

Sometimes it's a question of accounting, depending on how the budgets are managed, it might be difficult to justify spending on something for 3 years later, if there's no real requirement to do so.

For some (family email, my email, super-vanity domain), I register them as far in advance as I can whenever they get close (ie <1y) to expiring. Just avoids hassles.

If you're quick-editing SVG, Boxy SVG is pretty quick and easy for that.

When a solo dev successfully competes with a multi-billion 30+ year entrenched corp. Gives us all solo makers a hope and proof it can be done.
