Of course, if you want all the technical details, Kickstarter is the way to go. They’ve also written a detailed description as to how the tool will be different from Inkscape, Glade, or QML Editor. The main purpose of Akira is to offer a fast and intuitive tool to create Web and Mobile interfaces, more like Sketch, Figma, or Adobe XD, with a completely native experience for Linux. If it does not exist, why the Kickstarter campaign? So, yes, Akira is still pretty much just an idea- with a working prototype of its interface (as I observed in their live stream session via Kickstarter recently). Well, in order to develop something that would replace those awesome proprietary tools – Alessandro Castellani – came up with a Kickstarter campaign by teaming up with a couple of experienced developers –Īlberto Fanjul, Bilal Elmoussaoui, and Felipe Escoto. Any professional designer would agree to that, isn’t it? Is Akira going to replace Sketch, Figma, and Adobe XD on Linux? But most of them are not considered professional grade, unfortunately.Įven if there are a couple more solutions – I’ve never come across a native Linux application that could replace Sketch, Figma, or Adobe XD. A few of these tools like GIMP and Inkscape are used by professionals as well.

I’m sure there are a lot more design tools available for Mac and Windows.Įven on Linux, there is a limited number of dedicated graphic design tools. Let’s make it clear, I am not a professional designer – but I’ve used certain tools on Windows (like Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.) and Figma (which is a browser-based interface design tool).
