Informative Video. Maybe it's just me, because I am not a native english speaker, but for some parts I had to raise the volume a bit to understand all the words.
 
For the content: I would have loved to see your layout process. For example just one section, where you use the 960 grid, place some objects, how you align them vertically and horizontally. Good spacing is also important and often corresponds to other areas of the website where you have used the same spacing. So I would have loved to see how you do that (i.e. ruler/guides)
 
I've used Sketch and I use AD, but I think currently Sketch is easier to layout a website - maybe I've just not discovered the right way to do it.

What's the problem with iBooks? It does work well on my old iPad and on my Mac.

Ok, just bought Affinity Designer on the Mac App Store :) I am going to see, how it works for me and I am also excited about the Affinity Photo Beta release.

I'll leave it to other users to answer your main question, but regarding plug-in / scripting, yes, we have a plan - it will take a little while to implement - but I think it will set the bar..
 
Thanks,

Hi Halcyon,
 
welcome to the Affinity and the forum. 
 
I have used DrawPlus for ages now and hope that AD will fill that gap on Mac OSX. There really is no other program that balances ease of use, cost and sheer ability to get those ideas out of your head and onto the screen.
 
My biggest usage for AD and DP is poster and flyer designs too. If you're interested in placing text and images/photos together, then go for it! If there is one thing I do know, it's this you can't really go wrong at this price, especially over the following months when the other two sibling products are launched. All coming together in an affordable trinity. Fully intergrated.
 
As for your other projects/tasks I'm not the one to ask: ask the staff directly, I don't think they bite - much! :D

I continue testing Affinity Designer. It's an illustration for the "about" page on my website. It shows some of my hobbies and important people in my life : my girlfriend, my dog, computers, sailing, cycling, travels, retrogaming... and obviously octopuses ;)
 
i'm waiting hard the next release and new features. I'm in love with pixel layers, it's a real time saver ! And I really like having one and unique file with my vectors and my pixels !

Dear Affinity team and users,
  I came recently across your product. I am currently looking for a product which covers my interests. I am more of a developer than a designer, but occasionally I have or want to do some design work my self.   Most of the time I get asked to design a simple website, create a Flyer to print or a Logo. For my pet projects I would like to be able to create game assets for 2D development (e.g. Pixel Art) and UI-elements. I am also interested into digital painting and own a Wacom tablet. Until yesterday, I thought I am going to buy Pixelmator/Acorn and Sketch, then I saw your product.   For the Flyer and Logo use cases, it seems that the Affinity Designer is the perfect solution. Is AD also capable to solve my other use cases? How does it compare to Software like Sketch which is focused on Web/UI? Is web and UI design a use case that you try to solve with your product?   Thank you for answering my questions.
