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).
  
  Thank you. I was also 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.
  
  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.

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.

love it! Amazing work!

Does it have component variants yet?

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.

Quite cool!

Looks cool! :)

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