Affinity Publisher sneak peek! Just to prove we're not making the whole thing up, check out this early build of our DTP app. Still lots of perfecting to do; expect the beta next summer. Enjoy.
 
Update: I think we have answered all the questions we can about Publisher before the beta starts. Hopefully the public beta will answer any remaining questions when it starts at the end of August.

Wow! Affinity Designer looks very good from the git-go. It's fast, well organized and pleasant to use. The text handling has some excellent features already. Scrolling through the font menu and watching selected text change live, quite a treat. 
 
The main addition it needs for me to replace AI is arrowheads. I don't need a lot of useless style options such as Adobe offers, just filled triangles that have some adjustment options.
 
    •  placeable on beziers as well as straight lines
    •  auto scale to line thickness
    •  user adjustable scale acting on default size  (+% and -%, i.e.)
    •  user adjustable head angle (again, maybe relative to default)
 
And maybe, if not too much trouble:
    •  an option to have arrowhead extend line OR
           have the line shorten to place the arrow tip at the end of the original segment.
 
Thanks for listening,
Byrne
 
[edit] P.S. Another discussion of arrowheads suggests ability to round corners. Not strictly necessary for me but nice. Acts on all three corners, maybe adjustable as a proportion of the arrowhead's size.

Hi donnaoverall,
Welcome to Affinity Forums :)
Yes, this will come in a future version but it will still take some time until its ready.
