Similarly, their GitHub doesn't seem to have had any changes in the /src project, although this might be because they've moved development to /src.next.
Actually, looking at /src.next, there does seem to be a lot of activity, with issues being closed regularly. Maybe it's just the classic case of devs focusing on dev work and not outward communication or site maintenance.
I'll give it a go at some point and see how it feels 👍
We celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary yesterday, easy peasy 👍 The trick is simple, don't marry someone who is an asshole. I certainly didn't, and hope my wife feels the same way 😅
I've tried every one that I know of, repeatedly, and I still don't think any of the others compare to Voyager. And that's on the web app, haven't even tried the Play Store/F-Droid version yet.
For me, it's also a question of the development speed and responsiveness of the dev community. Voyager gets an update almost every single day, sometimes more than one a day, and the devs are super responsive and nice.
I just zoomed in some more — is this week outline with a painted stain filler? Or is everything burnt? Can hardly see a pattern in there, sorry nice either way! 😃
And love the reclaimed wood! Second the "never burn treated wood" advice, definitely a NoNo, also for bonfires and fireplaces!
On all my Macs, Preview is set as the default app for handling PDFs, and I use it for signing, adding text, rearranging and deleting pages; works flawlessly. Fuck Acrobat Reader / Pro.
If I need to do something more complicated, I'll open it in Illustrator.
Unless you're a professional and want stuff like being able to set the white point of an image. 8 years and counting, stopped holding my breath.
Also, I think it's noteworthy that they touted "Pay once, free updates forever!", and then they release Version 2 which requires a new license. Oh, and has a new price.
I paid $100 for Designer, Photo and Publisher in 2021. The "full package" of V2 now costs $220 (although 25% off with existing license). Still cheaper than 4 months of Adobe sub, but I can't use it for anything when they won't implement simple features like white point selection, which I need multiple times daily.
I think this comment from the forum link above speaks volumes as to why serious graphic designers need to steer clear:
Another two years down the line - I bought Photo v2 and still there's no picker to set white and black. Affinity's ethos (with Photo Publisher and Designer) is clearly to de-monopolise Adobe and take a market share from Photoshop Illustrator and InDesign but when professionals have to Google just about every single new task, it's very frustrating. I get the impression Affinity designers have spent too much time in the world of Linux where manipulating software is the challenge and bending it to your will is the achievement. We ex-Photoshop users want developers who help us to create images and documents. The endless puzzle of how to do things with Affinity Photo doesn't interest us.
There are still so many bugs in the UI - annoying little things like having to click twice to activate a dialog, or typing in a value only to have the first digit ignored. Most of the tool icons are meaningless, jpg compression is so poor, native file sizes are so big, why can't I simply open a jpg edit it and close with a save? Why can't I batch save images as WEBP? I cannot move from the Develop Persona to Edit without committing the changes - and yet I can hit Undo when back to Edit - it's just clunky geeky sloppy stuff that smells of Linux.
We all hate Adobe and their monopolistic dictatorial empire, I think we all want to love Affinity but jeez it's really not working out for me. I could never recommend this to any of my clients.
Great! An anti-abortion, climate-change denying, free organ harvest and free gun trade right-wing fanatic neo-fascist, just what the doctor ordered! 🤢
I understand living in Argentina is rough, but is this really the best way to rebel, kids? 😓
