Exactly, we took it from CSS and we have said it multiple times. The audacity of Penpot was to actually do it and accept the consequences.

Thanks for you comment! I might reach out to you for some AI chat, sure! Can I ask you a question? What's the size of your team, the team uses Shadcn UI and Claude Code? See, when you said "I don't need Figma anymore" I

I'm afraid it depends on whom you ask. Some devs really like it, some others don't. As we move towards a more multilingual stack, everyone will be happy and the product will shine even brighter. I don't code in ClojureScript

Hi, Pablo from Penpot here. - New rendering engine should fix the performance issues. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciG0U5jJtHY (older reference https://community.penpot.app/t/its-time-for-penpot-

Those "modes" are extremely frustrating and represent a silo-based conception of how teams work. If the tools creates disconnects... the team gets disconnected, that's not progress at all.

Penpot's CEO here. In terms of the knee jerk reaction, it's hard to say but we have the impression that there is some of it in terms of priorities, particularly long-awaited flex-layout-ish capabilities, for instance. Let's n

Taiga was lunched as alpha in 2014. TaigaNext codebase comes from mid 2021 and will again be used by many devs around the world as best-practices reference, for sure!

Hey! (Taiga CEO) Wonderful to see taiga getting some exposure on HN. We're working on a completely new Taiga codebase, codenamed TaigaNext (we'll eventually decide on a proper name). We'll open up repos and stuff very soon fo

We offer KANBAN and Scrum and Issue management plus WIKI and EPICs, yes. And it's MPL 2.0 and you can self-host it, yep! 6-7 years ago! wow! Yeah, we've come a LONG way. Taiga6 is amazing but TaigaNext (codename) is just a totally

this funding agreement came months ago, the FigmaGate had nothing to do with it. I'm surprised how many people think deals like this can happen in just a week, LOL!

Yeah! And it's going to be better than ever, you can learn more on one of my latest live streams! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ss02yBM2s8

Thank you! Open standards and not just "open formats" belong to the critical path to accessible innovation. There's already a community "port" of Penpot for a Desktop experience. You can learn a bit more here https

Penpot's CEO here. You're spot on! SVG is a design principle of sorts for us, as we absolutely bet everything on open standards. You say this "but it will also mean they're tied explicitly to the browser's ability t

And that's exactly what we saw with 99.999999998% of VCs and investors that approached us. This news is about securing the funding to build something that is remarkably challenging and make it happen fast. Our bet on SVG, like the Figm

I've made my professional career out of rejecting false dichotomies and I've made sure to be surrounded by like-minded people, they'd had to remove everyone I guess, including the community. I understand where you're com

Thanks! That was the work of Juan de la Cruz, one of the Penpot UI designers!

One thing I didn't share on my community post here https://community.penpot.app/t/penpot-our-time-has-come/1563 was how tough was to find the right VC for us. The conversations started back in Nov 2021 and we

If that ever happened, the way you describe it, you'd also find my dead body the next morning. The autopsy would read like this "The cause of the death was forcefully ingestion of a full set of CDs with some strange 'Debian 1

Yeah, we're now an interesting hybrid between python and clojure :)

Oh, I forgot. Still, we're working on what we call TaigaNext and some of these requests will be addressed, but we don't have them now.

by diacritica 4y ago
I'm part of the Taiga team and I agree with you. Our workaround is using n8n or zapier to automate that but we don't have it built-in. Now, at the same time, targetting Jira users has proven to be extremely difficult. It's no

Yes! I mean, Blender is such a beacon for us... we feel tiny in comparison but it's nice to read "The Blender of UI design" as much as "the open source Figma killer" :)

by diacritica 5y ago
True, "it seems to be" but it's not. We have taken established standards found on other tools (Figma is one of them) because we wanted to make sure the learning curve was superflat. At the same time we're building a &quo

Hi Steve! That's fine, the motivations we had to build Penpot won't probably overlap with a lot of people's own interests. We do believe that the design process is very quickly taking over a critical part of innovation and de

Kaleidos CEO here (Taiga+Penpot). It's not free at all but we want to make sure we have an honest and sustainable business model. We made stupid mistakes with Taiga a few years ago (a bad mix between an open source product and a propri

Hi! It's called hand-off mode and you get css/html + SVG for every element in the canvas. You can see an example here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1V9tkKqlKGStGYAXLazDLKzIO75o...

We developed Taiga (taiga.io) with that in mind. It's meant for cross-domain teams but a lot of people use it for their own personal projects. At the moment, 50% of new Taiga users come from Trello or Jira (in that order). Check it out
