I’ve been worried that Sketch would not be able to keep up with Adobe without some kind of cash infusion. With this shaking out to $8.25/mo. to pay for excellent software that 1): is still much cheaper than Adobe and 2): give them a reliable cashflow to remain competitive with Adobe and others, it’s ultimately more than fair.
Unfortunately, you can’t underestimate the fury of those denied free donuts.
I hope the design community, as a whole, recognizes the good work Bohemian Coding regularly does and that that good work deserves to be financially rewarded. It’s what we rightfully demand for ourselves, and it’s what Bohemian Coding earns (almost) every time they release an update.
