Penpot: Open-Source Design Tool Bridging the Designer-Developer Gap

In a recent podcast, the team behind Penpot discussed how their open-source design tool is breaking down the traditional barriers between designers and developers. Unlike proprietary tools like Figma or Sketch, Penpot is built on open web standards, making it easier for developers to inspect, export, and integrate designs directly into code. The platform supports SVG, CSS, and has built-in version control, allowing seamless handoff. The conversation highlighted Penpot's mission to democratize design tools and foster collaboration between design and engineering teams.
