> focusing on the Mac market was highly strategic

I think it was simply because of developer convenience: https://www.sketchapp.com/support/requirements/other-platfor...

on the long term this looks like a major mistake.

"on the long term this looks like a major mistake."

Thank God you didn't make a mistake like this, where you build a company around a profitable product making millions of dollars, but might one day feel bad because there are other customers who can't buy your product, who likely wouldn't buy your product anyways!

I leave that game to Figma :)

I do work on a design product and my first target platform is the browser. Cheers ;)

Heh, so maybe I was overly sarcastic in my tone, assuming you were just criticizing from the sidelines. :)

I suppose the less sarcastic version, is that Sketch is just a happy accident. A class project, that turned out to be very close to something solving a real problem for a significant market of people willing to pay money for a solution to that problem.

I'm not sure, I've worked with maybe 30 or so designers in my time and they have only been barely less cross platform than Sketch.*
