You're in luck! There is a native OSX port in progress, called the 'osxmenu' branch:

There are still some bugs, but it works well for me.

Wow, thanks for posting this! I've been trying to find native OSX builds of Inkscape without much luck for a while.

Wow! It's works pretty well! I could never get Inkscape working on OS X before. There is still the big startup time but it's definitely better than using xquartz.

FWIW - the long startup time is just the first time you launch the application, I think it's doing something with fonts, after that it launches pretty quickly.

Does anyone have a mirror?

Thanks for that. I am not sure posting it on HN is the best way to not share the link though.

I uploaded it to Google Drive to save your bandwidth: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2dUQpSGutXERFhLSnNmanNBam8...

Please let me know if I am in breach of distribution rules for it.

I simply don't want the link itself to appear elsewhere, I don't care if the whole HN crowd downloads it and send the link privately to their coworkers or whatever.

We're on a 100Mbps link so bandwidth should not be an issue if people are not selfish dicks.

Thank you as well!

Thank you!

Cool! This is pretty nice. Are you able to edit gradients? I can't seem to get that functionality to work.
