There is also Boxy SVG (https://boxy-svg.com) which combines both designer and developer oriented functionality and uses SVG as its native file format.

Unlike Illustrator/Sketch/Inkscape it can also create and manipulate SVG animation elements (https://boxy-svg.com/blog/21) - a very powerful feature which is now supported by all major browsers.

I dont mean to be rude but is there a reason why firefox is not supported ? Is it " it will never work there because the mandatory feature X is missing and will never be implemented in firefox " or "some features are broken " in which case a disclaimer "we dont test in firefox so use at your own peril" would be great :)

Firefox support is tracked on https://boxy-svg.com/ideas/227/firefox-browser-support, I think it will be added next year.

Looks great! I vaguely recall checking it out at some point but must have forgotten to bookmark.

It seems like a fairly straightforward mapping of UI -> SVG features, which must have taken a ton of effort. I'll have to take a closer look at the animation tool, I've often wondered if web technologies would ever get close to Flash's capabilities.
