Launching soon!
This is great. I'm not a Windows user, but the fact that Sketch is Mac-only is now a little less painful!

@chrismessina also easier for anyone who still needs to convince their dev partners to switch to a Sketch-based design workflow!

@kunalslab @chrismessina Exactly! No more "I can't open this Sketch-file on Windows" or "I'm on top of Mount Kilimanjaro and I have no internet connection here" 😃

Are you planning to introduce the paid plan or it's more like pet-project? P.S: love your https://icons8.com/blog/ blog!

Being a designer/developer on Windows is not the end of the world. There are several alternatives to Sketch on Windows that could help you save money and time.

When we wrote it, we thought it's cool. An year after, we see that we've completed 90% of the features that Sketch supports, with the sole exception of the Symbols. Let's see how we see our version 3.0 in one year more.

Pros:

Great viewer

Cons:

Fonts are different

Keyul
Great tool. Thanks for launching on windows.
Artem Tarasov
Good luck, guys! 🤘

Particularly, the best alternative to Sketch on Windows, until this moment, is Adobe XD.

I try use Lunacy, but it's heavy for memory.

Pros:

Simple to use.

Cons:

Drain almost 2GB RAM!

Hi Pablo, that's not acceptable. The typical numbers for the files of the average size is around 200 Mb. I've just tested it with the same file and it consumes 2.5 less memory then Sketch. I wonder if you use some special file? Do you have the latest version?
