I also would appreciate having this feature as it would save me from having to use trial and error with the current stroke profile pressure graph to thin out or thicken the stroke in specific areas on a line. Having a tool similar to Illustrator's and CorelDraw's stroke width tool would be more straightforward and accurate for quickly making variable stroke thickness.

As far as I can tell stroke with control options have not improved from v1. Please add stroke width tool.

Some examples:

This has been asked for since 2014. Six years later we still have the tiny, imprecise and often fiddly pressure graph.

Yea, I did that. That's why 0,0 is right where rulers meet, but it does not import into Spine at 0,0.

Please add better stroke width control. I attempted to use Affinity Designer for complex character lineart with the pressure graph tool. Unfortunately, it works only in simple cases. When many points are added it gets incredibly fiddly to change things or to even understand which point I have to move for editing. Not to mention the pressure graph often bugging out completely in complex situations either with points merging for no reason or point not moving at all and me having to close it down and turn it back up. The current solution is simply not good enough for many complex cases.
Moho Pro 12 (previously called Anime Studio Pro) has a great tool for this, simply called "line width tool". Here you can see it in action: 
 
Even Illustrator's version of this would be good to have: 
Just do something, please. Threads about his have been around for ages. In 2015 it was mentioned as being worked on yet it never landed. Only silence. No mentions of this improvement on the roadmap. This is such a fundamental missing feature that keeps me away from using Designer.

Yearly bumb, it's been 3 years with no advancements in line width control. Still can't use AD.

Add Stroke Width Control tool to the list. Like an ex-user of the forums once said, using the pressure graph is like driving a car with a calculator.

I believe the situation we're in is largely caused by Affinity's business model everyone likes to praise. Since the software is a one time purchase for a rather cheap price (when compared to similar commercial software), their revenue is largely dependent on gaining new customers indefinitely. To do that they periodically release new versions that introduce a bunch of big, marketable features at the cost of the ever crumbling and deficient foundation of the software. Once the new features are introduced, they might get some bug fixes later but rarely are they fundamentally improved even if they are effectively unusable in a professional setting. The team then focuses on the next set of big, marketable features or new products to sustain the company. And with every new product their resources grow thinner and thinner. I absolutely hate Adobe's subscription but this is no alternative, never has been and it seems it never will be either.

Or devs just like to work on something new and don't care about basic vector features like per node stroke width control.
EDIT: Just tried VectorStyler mentioned in this thread. In 30 seconds I found stroke width tool so it's already superior to Affinity Designer in my eyes. This basic tool has been requested in multiple threads here as far 6/7 years ago. Affinity have made 0 improvements in all that time to stroke width control. Pressure graph is as janky as it has always been, creates ugly results and in no way it's even comparable to manual per node stroke width control.

I'd like to see that happen too. Since all their revenue only comes from attracting new users, that's where all their development efforts are focused. And hence why long standing, fundamental issues are never addressed - fixing them won't generate new sales so they're forever in the backlog. A change of business model is probably needed like you described, otherwise I can't see AD ever becoming a true professional tool.
I bet the refocus on Publisher and slow AD updates is because AD has probably reached a certain degree of market saturation and is not generating the sales it used to. So they create a new product and invest most resources in that until it also ends up in the same situation at which point it'll enter maintenance mode and they'll develop a new product. Is this really better than Adobe? Not for me at least.

Instead of using pressure profiles on strokes to control the line thickness/width from the start of a stroke to the end of the stroke maybe allow us to change the line thickness at each point. Then have them blend between each of the points. This would give greater control and save time on creating the strokes you want. I find using the pressure profiles to be cumbersome when selecting the graph points and when you have a long stroke it's harder to get the results you want.

It is like steering a car with a calculator.

Ok, so I finally got something usable out of it. A proper 256x256px tile. The solution was to ditch the isometric grid completely, enable back everything related to pixel snapping. Scale up the object to the final dimensions I need via Transform panel. Then add guides for pixel-perfect precision (because the export was still 1px longer for some random reason even though the object was precisely 256x256px). After doing all that it sorta works.
So the workflow now is:
Create a 2:1 isometric grid. Grid size doesn't matter much since it doesn't reflect the final image size in any way. So do what looks comfortable.  Disable pixel snapping, enable grid snapping Create the asset on the isometric grid (note that grid only snapping leaves subpixel gaps between separate planes which are glaringly obvious once the asset is exported. So the background shape needs to be flat and uniform and cover the whole tile to fill these gaps) Disable grid snapping and the grid itself, turn back on pixel snapping Add guides for pixel perfect export Scale your object via Transform window to the tile size you need  Export Hope you don't have to do any major asset edits because the grid does not fit the asset anymore
