Affinity sold to Canva

[Daniel]

I bet there have been more crisis and reputation management meetings in the last 24hrs than they had meetings about strategy and the size of the cheque in the months they were formulating the transaction.

I don't think they expected the ferocity of the bonfire they've found surrounding themselves.

I wonder who might be sniffing around Xara or the embers of Magix.

I wondered that myself Daniel. The flames from their forums continue. It appears that many moved to Afinity after the Adobe subscription model , and nightmarishly it’s happening again to those users. I’ve been there with Macromedia apps.
I too was surprised with Canva equity. I’ve used a free version for some Facebook ads but nothing more. Very simple. The paid version is total plug and play with a raft of content for $ per month. I can’t see a hybrid Canva/Designer app but one never knows. Last time I checked the AF forums they were posting drawings of tombstones. I’ll stick with my versions picked up for a song during Covid. It was a too good to be true price.
