  Penpot looks incredible! I am super curious about design tools such as these but I have very little experience in the field. What is the workflow to get a design made with these working as a proper web or application? Even some pointers would be great. Sorry if the question is very basic. Cheers!

    The usual flow is something like: - Someone come up with what something should do when X - Designers create the UX and UI to support that feature - Developers start reviewing the UX/UI, create a list of things designers/product managers forgot to think of when doing the design/product requirements - Designers finishes the design - Developers manually try to copy the design into code. How this happen depends a lot In 90% of the companies, this is how I've seen it being done. Some places are trying to make that last step automatic nowadays, but the progress and results are nowhere near production-ready yet. Let me know if you have more specific questions :)

  Wow, I've wanted something like this for literally years! Pencil is OK, but fiddly to use, lacking in stencils, and basically unmaintained. Figma is a really powerful tool, but is too expensive unless you're a full-time UI/UX person (in which case, it's actually a good deal). It's so great to have a powerful OSS prototyping tool - and one that looks like it's had thought put into it's own UI/UX. Can't wait to try this out and see if it meets my expectations, thanks so much for posting this!
