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.

Thank you. I was also confused

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 months ago

I'm still confused

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.

Those OSX screenshots really are selling me on this being a FOSS thing I could get behind /s NOT!!

[–] xnx@slrpnk.net 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Because windows is more open source than mac os? How many designers use linux? The Mac os screenshots is their target audience of designers and plenty of mac users prefer open source apps

Still, why not support Linux? Half of the work is already done, probably

Penpot works perfectly on Linux, and you can even host it yourself in your own computer if you want. It's web-based and works in both Firefox and Chromium browsers. (I think WebKit ones too, but it's been a little while since I've tried it with Epiphany.)

I use Penpot myself all the time on Linux, but I'm usually using the hosted version so I can collaborate with others without having to maintain a server. I have also run locally in a container using Podman, even with Podman's rootless support.

But to start using it, all anyone needs to do is point their browser of choice to https://design.penpot.app/ and sign in. There is no setup process or installation needed; self-hosting is completely optional.

Quite cool!

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 months ago

Looks cool! :)

Does it have component variants yet?

Great, now let us know what’s on the roadmap for Taiga
