– Anonymous –Happy birthday, Inkscape.
First, I used Inkscape only for drawing, then for my cutting machine, and then
to create embroidery designs.
I've been using Inkscape for five years and I'm so thankful
for the incredible improvements.
So wonderful to have
such a powerful and versatile tool.
So nice that it allows extensions.
I use Inkscape with Ink/Stitch
almost every day and
I'm amazed at how good it is.
Thanks everyone,
and a long life to Inkscape.
– Claudine Peyrat –Congratulations to the whole team
and every contributor!
Thanks for all your efforts
throughout the years.
Paying thousands of EUR
for a piece of S[oft]W[are]
is not possible when you just want
to create private designs.
You make this possible!!!
– David –I've been using Inkscape
for about 10 years and
it's my favourite piece of software.
I mainly use it to make fantasy maps
and other goofy art,
but it's possible to create
so many different things with Inkscape.
It's so flexible because it uses SVG.
Thanks so much for all the work
you guys have put in over the years.
I truly appreciate your efforts in
making and sharing something
that benefits so many.
Here's to the next ten years!
– z3z –I found so many friends and
fun through Inkscape.
Hours of doing nonsense with Inkscape ...
hours of starting over
because autosave didn't work ;-;
Get better, get faster
learn new trix.
Through the Ink/Stitch extension
I found my love for machines,
the technology and
for hard- and software,
thank you for that. <3
– TheHorrorOfEmbrodery –Happy 20th birthday, Inkscape.
You are an awesome tool to work with!
– Anonymous –The FOSS vector landscape
was forever altered...
with the arrival of Inkscape!
I was a design apprentice,
who happened to own a low spec system
and couldn't afford proprietary apps.
I'm glad, I made a right choice.
Still today, happy to see Inkscape striding
and covering almost all the capabilities
of non-free apps. [...]
– artistlibre –Thank you for making
such a good FOSS product.
Every time I use it, I keep wondering
how you managed to build the product with that level of quality.

to all the developers

– nico –Thank you for your gift to the world! Though my history with Inkscape
doesn't span 20 years,
I've been using it for at least 10,
and it's amazing to me
how far it has come.
– Anonymous –I remember the days of Sodipodi and watching Inkscape come upon the open-source scene
was amazing to witness.
It's unbelievable how far this application has come,
it's existence and availability to creatives starting out has meant more than I can express.
I come from a small town with parents
who didn't believe I could make it as a designer
but went on to get my BFA in graphic design
and landed a decent job at a design company.
None of this would have been possible
without Inkscape in those early days
when no one else believed in me.
I'm so grateful to all those
who put so much time and love
into this program.
Thank you for all the creative escapades
throughout these years!
– Megan E. Moore –I use Inkscape for all my
vector designing needs,
and even started contributingto its translations.
Thanks for such a powerful program
and inclusive community!
I hope the best for everyone involved,
and I wish Inkscape will thrive
for years to come!
– ltlnx –Thank you! Long live Inkscape!
