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.
It doesn't explicitly say so but it's apparently for people who make web sites. Who would make anything else anyway (I suppose).
It's vector art. You can design all sorts of things. App layouts, website design, logo design, basically anything that is visual and will need to scale up and down without loss of detail.
That kind of information would potentially
be useful on their site's front page.
Like most FOSS projects... they're awful at promoting what they actually do on their website front page, instead focusing on FOSS buzzwords. It's unfortunately a thing.
Thank you. I was also confused
I'm still confused
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.
That’s a lot of words for so little information.
WYSIWYG collaboration platform, I guess?
Looks like "open source Figma." If so, great!
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.
