I envy some of my Icons8 colleagues: I am on Mac, and can't use it. Using a bunch of other tools to create images for social media pages. And now when they can add our photos and illustrations to the design right in the tool, I envy even more :D
@karanganesan I have been using Inkscape, Snappa (this on is not free though); there are also Pixlr and Canva (has free options), but I haven't stuck to any of these two.
@bobbatron good question.
Short answers: a bit like both.
Much more powerful than Canva
Unlike Canva, our assets are atomic: we don't have ready templates templates, but we integrate https://icons8.com/icons, photos.icons8.com, and https://icons8.com/ouch.
Less powerful than Figma!
However, compatible with .sketch (including saving) and (did I said it before?) has designer assets.
@munir_kamal I'd love to. My friends are making jokes of me, creating a design tool and ignoring Mac.
It's hard though. We're a native app and we'll have to rewrite the UI from the scratch (like 30% of the code).
Meantime, Mac designers have Sketch on their sleek MacBooks. We work for underprivileged. We work for Windows.
@aaronoleary Hi Aaron, the main thing is integration of icons, photos, and illustrations. Just added the maker's comment with all the details :)
I've been using Lunacy since version 2.0 and that's awesome to see how it is growing and extending its functionality. The images of all kinds integrated right into the editor present a great boost for faster work. Look forward to new updates, congrats to the team!
Pros:The integration of design assets is a cool way to make my work much more productive. For free!
Cons:Nothing to focus on
I love this product because I'm a Windows user and I need a free tool for graphic design, you know. Lunacy is a good solution for that.
Pros:I think it's the best alternative to Sketch app for Windows.
Cons:Lunacy has few little bugs, just fix them.
@new_user_307e037a73 we've added these after the PH launch 
Still more? Any references?

Interesting idea and nice way of execution.
Do you guys have plans to extend these libraries to Sketch on Mac as well ?
@sheikmohaideena Mac - yes, though unlike Figma, we're a native app and we'll have to rewrite the UI from the scratch (like 30% of the code).
Sketch — I'm not quite sure how to do it. A plugin... I don't know, maybe we should add photos and vector illustrations to our https://icons8.com/app. What do you think?
Great. The experience of V3 was quite crippled, when opening larger artboard collections, talking about ~ 250mb here. Now there is no problem thanks to GPU rendering I guess? I think the main features I would need as a developer grabbing stuff from the sketch file would be CSS Syntax Highlighting. Also a feature like with Avocode, where you can upload a Font File for rendering missing System Fonts would be great. I guess you can just install them on your system, probably, maybe not. :) Lookin good so far.
Looks really useful - I definitely plan to try it out! Have you considered creating tutorials or training courses?
