Question

Is Adobe XD being phased out or not?

I have a question that I still don't have an answer to. Is Adobe XD being phased out or not? Adobe XD was supposed to disappear, but since the acquisition of Figma fell through, it's all unclear to me. Will Adobe XD be removed in the long term, or will it remain active "in maintenance mode" without further updates? Are we sailing on a ship without a captain? As a graphic designer and web designer, I am a big fan of this simple no-code tool. Are there also people here who use other tools for designing websites? Lovable? Figma? I'd love to hear. Thanks!

There's a petition to keep/bring back Adobe XD.
Please support it on change.org:

If you don't agree, okay, please don't flame.
Just go away and don't support it.
If you prefer Figma or whatevere, fine. Dom't flame etc.
If you perefer whatever, fine. Don't flame etc.


Even if you absolutely don't agree,
no competition is not good, even for your pref. tool.

Please support it and spread the word!

The product is effectively dead. It is kept around as it is still used (and loved), but there is no real investment by Adobe in bringing it back to life post failed merger. Really, it lives so that if you are deeply invested in it, you have enough time to migrate to a new solution. They did not want a repeat of the Flash/Flex cancellation fiasco.

Hi Chris, Thank you for your response. It's a pity that Afobe doesn't have a decent web design tool and that the prices keep increasing every year. Anyway, I have now purchased a lifetime deal of Claritee on Appsumo (a Lovable alternative).
