It was certainly encouraging to see this update.
The installation process was pretty quick.
When I registered, I was given an option to add the event to my calendar.
I'm on the east coast USA where Eastern Standard Time is a three hour difference from Pacific Time. My Canva calendar entry indicates a start time of 1pm, which is a three hour difference from the stated 10am PT start time.
If you register, you'll receive a calendar entry with the correct time for your region.
They really want us to know that they 'really listened' and nobody asked for that. Also serious professionals don't want potentionally unsafe tools where your work is stored somewhere else / copyright and privacy issues / unstable internet / services offline etc.. Preferrably even working without any connection needed. So I don't believe they would go that way. If anything than optionally extra.
All of this makes sense. Fingers of both hands crossed while hoping for a wow announcement on the 30th.

I haven't searched for the original original video, but had watched this video via a talk in the youtube comments under another video and it looks and sounds legit to me:
Thanks so much for sharing the link! This definitely puts a different, more encouraging spin on the situation compared to the tortuous uncertainty of waiting and speculating.
Alright.
4) They keep focussing on pro features and a designer online who is helping them says ipretty convincing in a video (although clearly made with permissiong/cooperation of Canva) 'they really listened', while talking about pro features (and says that our minds will pop when we'll see it... so although that's still marketing talk to me, those are also big words making it risky if they don't have at least something good)
Do you have a link to this video?
Your points sound promising.
Hello Alfred.
Thank you taking the time to register me here, and for providing Affinity users with refuge in this uncertain moment.
