Instead, Apple surprised us with a complete redesign of macOS, causing us to shelve existing plans and divert our attention away from projects like Collaborative Editing.īig updates like this are great fun to work on and allow us to really shine as a native app, but they’re also incredibly disruptive. Last year we’d expected a quiet year for the Mac. For us, this time is a mix of anticipation and excitement - and yes, even a little fear. Of course, every year we’re also watching the keynote with an eye on what this could mean for Sketch. We’ll have to try this in real world scenarios but it looks incredibly cool - and very useful.
