Penpot tutorial

Already looked at it and I like where it's going but yes it's difficult to come away from figma

I have been using penpot a lot more since this video was released. A key factor I didn't cover in this video is Performance. Compared to Figma, the performance on Penpot is not great. If I am to give a score, it'd be a 4 and Figma will be a 9. I can't imagine how penpot will handle a design file with 400+ screens if there's rendering issues at 4 screens. Performance is extremely important if Penpot wants to really compete and I think the team should focus their efforts in this area. On the bright side, Penpot's Flex layout which is similar to Figma's autolayout is really good, so good that I think Figma borrowed some ideas from them as part of the updates on UI3. That been said, there's no perfect tool out there and everyone should be able to express their ideas and creativity using their tool of choice. The design industry is better for everyone when there's more competition and less monopoly with our tooling ♥

the problem is, figma already has all of those great UI kits and libraries to bootstrap your work... penpot is useful for a team that is starting from scratch I'll give you that, good on them for making a competitor, we'll see how things evolve

No we are NOT!

Thank you so muuuuuuuuch for this review!!!!

You only showed the tool for like 2 seconds

it's funny how people who think open source and free products are somehow more "ethical" but then those same people do not offer their services for free. Simple fact is you get what you pay for and open source project have a give and take but ethics isn't one of them.

Does penpot have a auto layout related feature?

penpot v framer??

SO the fact that the app is open source really doesn’t matter if the user isn’t a programmer. Furthermore, if you do not have a server system or if your company does not require on premesis systems then penpots ability to be open sourced is not a factor. When everyone started jumping over to Figma, I stayed with Sketch and affinity designer. I am able to collaborate with my clients but at the same time I have more features and capabilities at my disposal than with Figma. And my productivity hasn’t been interrupted. I am not a fan of web browser only tools like penpot. The reasons is simple. Let’s say that something happens or you are in an area that prevents you from having internet. With Sketch and affinity designer I can keep working offline. Whereas with web browser tools don’t allow that and as an agency owner that is a big problem for me. As far as pricing sketch and affinity studio are WAAAAY cheaper overall than Figma. As far as penpot goes, I believe that there should be an open source variant of software available. That said. Free is not always better. There are some instances where this is the case but not always. If you’re looking to serve your customers and grow your business it will be important to develop a robust design pipeline that works for you. If the tools you use are working and getting you great results, stay with them. Great video. Hope this helps.

Never heard of penpot. Will definitely check it out! Thanks!

Penpot Has great potential but some small things which figma has makes a great difference.

have you check new figma owner video . Figma and Adobe are abandoning our proposed merger don't shared wrong information

Let's support Penpot! penpot turorial please!

Penpot tutorial! Thanks in advance Samuel!

I stopped learning Figma after I heard Adobe bought it.

Yes, I will definitely use Penpot. I checked out the interface last week.

You should compare Lunacy with Figma and Penpot. Lunacy is free and it has a desktop app. But it's not open source.

Penpot is cool, but Figma and Lunacy are better. I hope Penpot gets more improvement soon, because it's still lacks a lots of things.

Penpot Tutorial

The world will ditch designers in a few years.

every 4 days something new comes WTF!!

I really wish it was a desktop application I could download and use offline

Penpot tutorials, please. Thanks for asking 😄

Damn, Samuel, thanks so much for doing this...another lodge to look outside the Figma box.

Penpot Tutorial 🙏

then lets shift to penpot and make it a prime tool for the future.

Integrate Framer + Figma features to Penpot and it will be amazing!

I thought the deal with Adobe was dead

Love the video, I didn't know there was a free & open source Figma alternative. I'll have to test it out. A Penpot Tutorial would be amazing to see.

Thanks for shearing. I am now still looking for a new job in Germany. It's been 5 months now. I just found your video. They are really inspiring Thanks :)

Figma is much better and more recommended for many reasons. 🔥

Really nice video ! I have my eyes on Penpot since day one and when I heard about the move that Adobe made on Figma I was like more into Penpot. I have to say it's nice, as a customer, to have a choice, a little competition is always good. Also regarding Adobe / Figma, Adobe just cancelled the acquisition of Figma for now so let's see what happens next !

Thanks for sharing you thoughts. PenPon Tutorial, please?

Adobe Figma deal is off already.

Love it!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey man, how's it going? It's been a while since we've heard from you

Very well edited, and clearly explained, you have a lot of potential for growth as a channel

Thank you for the recommendation! I've checked it out and they do alot of the things you need it to, such as components, global colours and typography, inspection tools etc but i'm speaking as someone that does both design and development on a freelance level. My biggest reason for wanting to explore other options is not to do with price but the constant push towards your work feeding the ai models. Figma sent me an email to say that they want use our projects to feed their ai models but you can opt out if you want (they definitely saw the backlash that adobe received and approached the issue better)

Gold!

Oh if penpot doesn't sell out.. It will for sure be an industry standard.. Compare to blender 3d... Adobe is beginning to feel too important, I mean, you own someone's intellectual property? Are you kidding me? It's just like a DAW company saying they own a song and voice of an artist cause they used and tweaked their voice using their plugins. It's crazy.. I actually discovered penpot a while a go... And just started navigating it recently just cause I already had other tools I work with over the years that isn't figma. But going fully into interface design, I'm been drawn towards penpot as I'm not a big fan of adobe and don't use a lot of their tools, I think only figma actually.
