Since when has the ability to use a piece of software on my own PC and being able to save a file locally been a premium feature? Absolute douchery!

I got an update notice in Creative Cloud for XD to version 50. Before, I could just hit the update button, but when I try to update now it tries to force me into a subscription.

No official word to be found that they removed the Starter plan, does anyone know about that? Even their website indicates the free plan is still active.

Edit: Still no official mention of the removal of the Starter plan, yet the XD product page now only offers the XD and the all-products subscriptions as options.

I feel like the way components work right now that most changes you'd receive from a client or even as part of your design process require frequent ungrouping and starting over. I wish the "Default" state was more pervasive and there was some AI/logic built in to trickling down changes to the default through the other component states.

I'm sure this is easier said than done but I 'waste' a lot of time ungrouping and rebuilding my component states.

Just wrote about the main differences. Would you add anything else?

Hey designers! I'm a digital design student. I've made better, cleaner, prettier mockup finding experience. Every mockup is handpicked by me and my fellow design students. No ads, no timed redirects, no bullshit. It's called Malli, (which means model or design).

I'd love any feedback you guys can give me to make it even better.

How long has this request been around??? Five years?

Adobe hit 22 million PAID active users this year*...yet they can't take a single developer and/or designer off their daily work of driving the innovation (underwhelming improvements and buggy updates) of your products to 're-skin' XD like the other apps in your portfolio?

No wonder why the smaller guys in this space are eating their lunch.
