New release! Penpot 2.10 is here 🎉 ✨ Variants are now available! And also, Design Tokens get more typography options plus plenty of quality-of-life improvements Check what's new : community.penpot.app/t/penpot-2-1...

I have an idea for a content management system plugin for @penpot.app. Below is a video with a PoC: - 🧱 batch item creation from a data set, - ↔️ two-way editing, - 🏷️ layer name based content pairing - the project works without the plugin. Community discussion: community.penpot.app/t/penpot-cms...

I just ran the first test update of a local @penpot.app instance using Penpot Desktop. Everything went well, with one click to trigger @docker.com to pull new images and (re)create the containers. 🎉

How do you use view mode in @penpot.app? Here is a proof of concept of an auto-reload for the view window. Once the file changes are saved, Penpot Desktop would refresh the view for you.

You can now specify the @penpot.app version of the local instance to create. It defaults to the “latest”, but any valid Penpot Docker repository tag should work, with suggestions for ten of the most recent tags.

Tabs pinning, improved accessibility, and a stable Penpot embedding solution. I started work on the Penpot Desktop’s in-house tabs setup.

We're celebrating! We've just launched our brand new (and free!) Penpot Course, and we're kicking things off with the UI Design with Penpot Free Course! Check out the course and get all the details here: community.penpot.app/t/our-new-fr...

You can now download all your @penpot.app projects at once, with Penpot Desktop. Open the dashboard, click “Download all projects”, specify the path and the archive name, and wait for the download to complete. Get version 0.16 at github.com/author-more/...

A new feature for the Penpot Desktop is in the works. Can you spot the change in the @penpot.app UI?

You can now enable the native title bar for your Penpot Desktop window. It is a new option in the settings panel, set to “overlay” by default, and a change takes effect after a restart. Available in version 0.15 on its release page github.com/author-more/... and in the Flathub store.

I created a design tokens starter kit for @penpot.app and it’s now downloadable from the Penpot Hub. If you try it, please let me know any feedback or feature requests. I’ll keep updating it for future Penpot releases. penpot.app/penpothub/li... #designTokens #penpot #openSource #foss

Penpot Desktop can now set up a local @penpot.app instance for you. Launch creator, name your instance, click “Create”. ⚠️ It’s an experimental feature. 🪟 Windows is supported, but untested. 🛡️ Requires a non-sandbox environment. Download: github.com/author-more/... Docs: github.com/author-more/...

Next in Penpot Desktop: one more step towards a seamless offline experience. With a click of a magic wand, you will be able to set up a local @penpot.app instance. It requires @docker.com and will launch as an experimental feature.

A new, mysterious button showed up in the settings during the Penpot Desktop development. What could it be doing with @penpot.app?

Recently, I learnt that in VS Code, you can have inline Git blame info without needing any extensions. 1. Go to Settings. 2. Search for "Git blame". 3. Tick the box for "Git › Blame › Editor Decoration”. Or you can set "git.blame.editorDecoration.enabled" to `true` in the Settings JSON. Enjoy.

I went on a small bug fixing spree for Penpot Desktop this week. It means: - visual indicators for colourless tabs' states, - a persistent "new tab" button, - and more tab space in macOS's full-screen mode. Just one more issue with instances to sort out and the v0.12.1 update will be out to you.

New release Design Tokens are here and much more! Tokens Studio Have you been missing Design Tokens? Penpot is the first design tool to integrate native design tokens, developed in collaboration with Tokens Studio by Hyma. Tokens are small design decisions expressed as code to master complexity.

The new UI is live! Penpot Desktop v0.12 features a refreshed, unified look, improved color coding for instances, and a design that matches @penpot.app official style for a distraction-free working experience. Get it from the release page github.com/author-more/... or find it in the Flathub store.

The new tab design is almost ready. Some of the incoming changes are: - Colour coding is consistent across themes. - A tab's background colour is tinted with its instance's assigned colour. - The tab opening menu features colour coding.

The settings panel is complete. If you see anything you would like to improve, please share your thoughts. While larger changes will have to wait until the next iteration, I'm happy to address smaller issues or suggestions before the release. It's time to tackle the top bar now.

The new look for Penpot Desktop is in the works. It introduces dedicated palettes for both light and dark modes, each designed to match @penpot.app's official colours for the distraction-free working experience.

Support for multiple instances is live in Penpot Desktop. You can now open multiple @penpot.app instances simultaneously, each displayed in its own colour-coded tab. Penpot Desktop v0.11 is available at github.com/author-more/... and from the Flathub app store.

We are approaching a big milestone for the Penpot Desktop’s Q1 cycle! The multiple instances feature now has end-to-end UI support (tabs, opening, and management settings), for your ease of use and control. I’m focusing on QA and polishing to ensure it runs smoothly. Stay tuned for the release!

We're happy to announce our newest event series, Penpot Community Hours, begins 20 February 2025 at 15:00 UTC with @diacritica.bsky.social , Carolina Portugal and @myfunnyandy.bsky.social joining us! All the info! community.penpot.app/t/new-event-...

You will soon be able to use multiple instances at once in Penpot Desktop. Here is a prototype view with different instances open in their own, colour-coded tabs. The menu is part of the ‘+’ (add tab) button. On the side, a representation from the settings file, introduced in the last version.

Move, sync, share, back-up. The file based settings are locked in for the next Penpot Desktop release. With the multi-instance support, coming soon, a file will keep instances details in your user directory.
