They hit $400m ARR and were continuing to double. Figma revenue, independent of margin, was increasingly displacing revenue that might have gone to Adobe, or more specifically, creating pricing pressure on Adobe. It was a product designed natively to be collaborative, to be easier to use than Adobe’s professional tools, and without the baggage of features and nomenclature leftover from years of software releases, platform shifts, and business model changes.Follow Chris on Fountain.FMGrab a New Podcast App — Upgrade to a new Podcasting 2.0 compatible app, and boost into the show!Raspberry Pi Audio Receiver — A simple, light weight audio receiver with Bluetooth (A2DP), AirPlay 1, and Spotify Connect.
