Penpot 2.0, a major milestone in our journey, is now yours to explore and enjoy!
As it’s often the case with major releases, they feel both like the end of a journey and the beginning of a new one. Short clip showing all Let me first cover why Penpot 2.0 is such an impactful release. Once again, we delivered on our promise to bring developers and designers closer togeth...
I hate when i have to go 4 links deep to get an explanation of what it even is.
Penpot is the first open-source design tool for design and code collaboration. Designers can create stunning designs, interactive prototypes, design systems at scale, while developers enjoy ready-to-use code and make their workflow easy and fast. And all of this with no handoff drama.
This shit drives me nuts. "What is x?" Should be somewhere at the top of every software home page. Even if it's just a header link.
It's especially annoying when it's on a subdomain that has no links to the primary web site. e.g. when clicking the company logo in the header of a blog entry at
blog.<company>.comtakes you toblog.company.cominstead ofwww.company.com.Edit: Sorry, didn't occur to me that that's a real web site and it would be auto-hyperlinked. I think I fixed it.
Should’ve explained it to me man. I don’t want to go 4 links deep.
Well, I didn't like having to wait for their Discourse forum page to load myself. I added their Fediverse account link as well to ease discomfort.
Design and code beautiful products. Together. Penpot is the web-based open-source design tool that bridges the gap between designers and developers.
It's open source Figma
Which is a bit ironic for people that make UX/UI software
I wouldn't expect a blog post to explain what it is, as they're generally designed for people aware of the project. I doubt they're the ones that posted it here. Instead of clicking links, I just went to the main site and very quickly understood what it was.
Some sort of marketing bullshit generator I assume by the text of the post?
This blog post is pretty buzzword-heavy, but Penpot is a legitimately great tool. It's used for UI design and layouts. I've seen a couple of open source projects use a self-hosted Penpot instance for working on and discussing new designs.
Figma would be the most popular, proprietary example of this type of tool. I'm not aware of any open source competitors besides Penpot.
edit: It's like Google docs for web page layouts or app layouts. The animation on their homepage is probably the best way of showing what it does.
Is... is this the comeback of WYSIWYGs?
Ui design tools are not used to build actual apps and anyone trying toake them do that is a fool. It's for designing apps.
love it! Amazing work!
Looks cool! :)
Great, now let us know what’s on the roadmap for Taiga
What does it has to do with Taiga?
Same company makes it, last I heard they announced big plans for Taiga, and then it’s been crickets.
Maybe this has changed, but I haven’t seen anything recently.
Does it have component variants yet?
Those OSX screenshots really are selling me on this being a FOSS thing I could get behind /s NOT!!
