It's pretty much a clone of Adobe XD but works in the browser. Adobe XD only has Windows and Mac clients and I think it's tied to all the Adobe Cloud bullshit. Feature wise I think they are pretty much the same, didn't dive deep enough to find differences, but Figma started getting traction and Adobe got scared. Now since Adobe can't buy it and Figma is getting a round billion to improve their tool it looks like Adobe is in a good position to loose this market.
