    Interesting on this prediction: [0]. Maybe they used the $1B paid by Adobe to fund their IPO?

    Possible.

    Well deserved, in my opinion. I often think about the fact that they spent 5 years (2012-2016) building essentially a brand-new graphics editor entirely in the browser way before Web Assembly was a thing that people knew about, all before even releasing their product to the public. They took the performance of their product so seriously.

    I think their team deserves credit for their commitment to good software. They got here by making something good. That's a success story that I feel good about

    Good time to IPO before that window closes for another 3-4 years
