  They seem to update very frequently; I don't know if it still crashes now — I'm planning to try it myself.

    What i tested happned 5 months ago. if the issue exist 1 month ago too it is the same problem. The problem lies with the whole thing is XML and SVG unlike Figma's Canvas/WebASM . The whole thing is unable to scale.

      They are actually working on a new canvas-based rendering engine in order to get away from using the DOM so that should help performance quite a bit. https://community.penpot.app/t/its-time-for-penpot-to-almost-move-away-from-the-dom/6437 https://community.penpot.app/t/its-time-for-penpot-to-almost...

    I self-hosted Penpot, and during use I also encountered crashes — but it was my browser that crashed. I’m not sure what caused it (because I was forced to close the page).
