That's quite an understatement, Xhris. The course is simply fantastic and very much appreciated. Too bad that it didn't succeed as a professional project. If there's a way to make a donation, I'll be happy to do so.
You also mentioned that development of desktop software is not a main activity anymore but Affinity has committed to re-engineering almost its entire product lineup. And, apparently, doing quite well financially. I agree that Xara still has great graphics software and, who knows, perhaps they realize that they still have a very competitive product on their hands and recommit to its further development.
