As a designer making contributions to open source projects, Penpot is an attractive choice for a design tool that's hard to match up to.

This is the best my eyes have seen in a long time. It's beautiful.
A tool like this, solid and complete, was necessary.

All I wanted from Penpot was figma parity, but now if they can pull off these features at any sort of quality, it's going to be incredible.

You should not learn apps, you should learn workflows and open standards. You just design and the developer can just copy the HTML and paste where necessary.
Pair that with Git and you have an organism that works in perfect harmony.

I wanted to give @penpotapp a try for my product team and self-host it, and I’m honestly amazed at what the team has done to make this platform accessible.
Such a game changer for open source design. Viva, open source and Penpot!

Yesterday I showed Penpot to my project manager for our new project, he really like it, we are already working with it. I love when open source software is way better than other options!

I have installed it on my custom server and it works like a charm!
Penpot is not just 'free' as in free beer most important free as in Freedom 🎉

Penpot using the same abstractions as developers - CSS flexbox and grid - could be a huge game changer for front-end developement.

Fantastic! I am very hyped to see your journey continue.

Penpot is an unbelievably good experience. It's so easy to use and it's also FOSS! Just phenomenally good all around.

Penpot is a fantastic and wonderful program👌 , and a solid alternative to paid programs with little support for Arab: Figma and Adobe XD.
Main characteristics:
- Compatible with RTL Arab language
- Free and Open Source
- Team Collaboration and projects sharing
- PNG, SVG, JPEG exports.

I think it is hard to overstate how impressive this is. While it aims to be well integrated in tech workflows, it is a product that allows designers to work well, with a nice, usable and useful UI.
Penpot is a product with a clear vision and great utility.

You can replace Figma with @penpotapp today. It's a drop in replacement with a very bright future.

This app is so freakin' nice. And open source? Self-hostable? What on earth! ✨

Using Grid in Penpot will be so much nicer than using flexes imitating a grid - where I have to update multiple object widths at one time.
Garrett LeSage
@garret
Oh my gosh - I love it. The controls felt very intuitive to me - way more intuitive! They map nicely to the mental models of actual CSS. I LOVE the wrapping options as well - so much more dynamic than I thought it ever would be!
I also really appreciate how developer-friendly this is, so hand-off becomes simple!

Frankly I'm blown away by Penpot. At my level (web designer) I found UI/UX to be intuitive and well thought out. The feature set is second to none and you seem to have a full grasp of your target audience with the roadmap and the progress it's made so far.
Given the opportunity I would recommend Penpot over the competition with no hesitation.

As a freelancer, the anxiety of not having ownership of my work if there's a pricing or storage paln change at Figma is real.
Having another option on the horizon is giving me life.

The project is full of promise and offers an outstanding alternative to other similar tools. The close parallels/aligment between design and code are gratifying about the work and the resulting desings. This project has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach design.

Penpot is taking great approach in teaching designers code by using native CSS language.

We may finally kill the cluttered list of tools that each team has chosen over the years – #AdobeXD, #Figma, #Axure, #Sketch – giving us a shared library of assets and true collaboration.

The updates coming out for Penpot are insane, especially as I am a designer and developer.
The Grid and Flex layouts look amazing.
Suleiman Leadbitter
@sulcalibur
I tested a new grid functionality yesterday.
I like how it keeps me as a designer "honest" with laying out items so that they work with a real CSS grid.
This will really help design-development collaboration go much smoother.

I just tried Penpot and WOW, the flex and grid layouts are so much more intuitive than how Figma handles layouts.

I had an idea at work and wanted to mock up a new page to show my boss. I have no ui / ux experience. It is unreal how fast it was to get going. 1 evening and i got the idea onto paper.
Fantastic product.

Bravo on the flex features! Wow! This might be the thing that gets me to switch from XD.

Just setup my own personal @penpotapp instance on @elest_io. It was just a few clicks and I have my own server that should only cost me a few dollars/month.
With cost/complexity so low, I'm greedily rubbing my hands together to figure out what ELSE I can host myself...

for a day or so and honestly think it replaces Figma for almost everything I use it for. Open source and self-hostable = 😻

As a full stack developer I need to have basic understanding of ux/ui design. That's why I learnt Penpot. Now I can create my own project ux/ui design that can allow me to write code in much faster than before. And I successfully created my own portfolio ux/ui design.

Dear designer friends: leave Figma, Adobe XD, invisionApp, etc. I introduce you the future: Penpot.
Open-source, free, you can self-host it so your own company has its own.
Only advantages. You can import templates, third-party tools, etc. Perfect.

I love that Penpot can be self hosted! I'm running it on truenas scale via truecharts. It was easy to setup and works great from my local network.

As a developer, I rarely use designing tools and I hated almost all of them until I found out about Penpot!, love what you're doing and love that it's an open-source project ❤ thank you for the great job

Honestly self hosting Penpot feels like finally breaking free from all that vendor nonsense... no more worrying about getting locked into some platform that owns your work.
