Over the years I've purchased variety of software from software VPNs to text editors from BlackFriday deals. This years I don't have anything specific on my mind, so I thought I might as well ask the hive mind to send pointers to BlackFriday deals for (great!) software. Thanks!

i'm not a fan of adobe but they are an industry standard and have a deal for 50% off the full suite 1 year plan which strikes me as a decent deal

Affinity makes some great alternatives to Photoshop and Illustrator (and you only pay for it once rather than monthly). They have a 40% off deal for Black Friday. See https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/

Plus an additional 25% off if you're upgrading from v1, which I did today.

Ok, not really software, but I'm hoping phind does a last minute BF deal (doubt they'll bother/need to) on their annual $300 offering. I'd swap it for my current $20/mnth openAI subscription.

Thanks for the tip! Already an Affinity user, but had missed the whole version 2.
