xavier, to opensource

After maintaining an project for more than two years, I took the decision to shut it down in order to focus my energy elsewhere.

While I am proud of shipping something that is useful to hundreds of users, this project does not bring me joy anymore because it ties me to a user-hostile commercial web that I want to leave behind. Instead of making the commercial web more bearable, I'd rather spend my energy on making the non-commercial web more attractive.

so infuriating. open source maintainers have a hard enough time without random people shitting up their repos trying to score crypto tokens.

๐Ÿ’ธ Just paying Figma $15/month because nothing else fucking works

xavier,

@fasterthanlime genuine question, not an attempt to an attempt to fosssplain: for the kind of diagram you used as an example, I'd use inkscape, and convert text to path before exporting (I'd love for that to be automatic).
As I have never used Figma, what makes Inkscape a non-starter for you?
