Adobe XD is in maintenance mode, now what?

Adobe XD is in maintenance mode, and will eventually be depreciated. Currently, only current subscribers of the All Apps Access plan can access Adobe XD, which costs $54.99 per month. This means they depreciated the starter plan (free) and standalone plan ($9.99). I am on the fence about buying https://www.humblebundle.com/software/complete-web-design-ux-mastery-bundle-software , as some of the courses use that. Any suggestions?

I understand your concern Ookma Kyi! With Adobe XD in this maintenance mode, you're wise to look for a replacement, and in my opinion, Figma is an excellent option to explore:

Figma offers a robust free plan, which is excellent for learning and creating small projects. With Adobe XD's uncertain future, learning Figma could benefit your long-term career prospects more. It's widely adopted in the industry and continues to grow in popularity.

While the Humble Bundle courses use Adobe XD, many of the underlying UX/UI principles will still be applicable in Figma. You might need to adapt some tool-specific tutorials, but the core concepts should transfer well. The current Humble Bundle deal also includes a Figma course on prototyping.

Let me know if I can answer any other questions or concerns you might have about the bundle. Thanks!
