London pals! Come hang out with me and cool Penpot folks in SE1 on the 13th of May.
We’ll be discussing all things design tokens and collaboration in a fab venue with lovely food and drinks.
And it’s free! Limited spots available:
https://app.hi.events/event/370/penpot-after-hours-london
(Non-Londoners also very welcome 
)
Design tokens are revolutionizing how we maintain consistency and scale design systems. But what exactly are they, and how can they improve your workflow? 
Explore how these small yet powerful elements are transforming the design process and discover how Penpot integrates them seamlessly.

i deCapitated the rotting parts of my full name but some people started making fake recipe sites with that (wine nor meat nor coffee interests me ... unless it's coffee crisp: ) so i might have to shorten it further
Former Advertising & Graphic Design grad ( https://yesu.neocities.org/port ) who gave it all up unwillingly (likely 'cause of my poortfoolio) to become disabled through manual labour and sleep loss
Currently research #foss software and tinker on https://yip.pe and https://penpot.app mostly for fun
Send me a private message (not sure if this is possible?) with your email if you'd like to be added to my #penpot portfolio group! )
Made a few ads and album covers more recently, mostly for myself and my faMily. As you can tell my quality level is very sub-par. Most won't even accept my volunteer efforts; )
<There, i made all you skilled illustrators look good so you owe me BIG TIME; >
@gael There's mention of a few abandoned projects in the F-Droid forum... What about if you run it on a server using something like #KasmWorkspaces with #WayDroid, #BlissOS, #AnboxCloud, #Puter, etc.?
Depending on how much you want to showcase... if it's just the UI perhaps you can recreate it in a #Penpot project and share?
Going live in 5 minutes… bring your @penpot_app Flex layout issues, keep me on my toes! #penpot
@frameworkcomputer please consider growing a presence outside of the regular corporate walled gardens in true #fediverse style ... running a dedicated #peertube instance of your own would be a minimal expense.
#penpot is doing exactly this and it's been very warmly received. It's a really great way to set yourself apart and win hearts and minds;)
#penpot is streaming LIVE on #peertube now for anyone interested:)

Why exactly do #Figma and #Penpot use so much GPU? Figma literally makes my shiny-graphics computer louder than Diablo 4, and while Penpot is much better (I can even open it on Qubes without GPU acceleration), it's still surprisingly intense for... a bunch of flat vectors.
(and yes, I know "no GPU" is a rare case, but having a power drill does not justify using it to sharpen a pencil).

@penpot PS. If you want to make your own Penpot plugins using Kitten, you can use the starter template I created here:
https://codeberg.org/kitten/kitten-penpot-plugin
It’s set up so your plugin will have a web site at its index route and the plugin is in /plugin.
You can see a simple checklist plugin created using Kitten Penpot Plugin here:
Yay, my little Kitten Kawaii @penpot plugin is on the #Penpot plugin gallery.

(I’m very sorry for the X swastika you see on the page. I hope Penpot will be removing links to that Nazi bar as soon as they can. Especially given they could replace them with links to their Mastodon account and thus advocate for better social media by example.)
PS. I’ve entered it into the contest. If, by chance it wins anything I’ll be splitting it with Elizabet Oliveira.
