Because that’s not a lie; under special circumstances, it can be true. For example, consider a restaurant that offers free rice refills because Asian people love eating rice to fill up. An employee working overtime who really needs it can get as many refills as they want. Of course, this system falls apart if everyone starts doing it, as the restaurant would need to bake that cost into the price to sustain the busine…

A dystopia is where people lie about free rice bowls to get people in the door but can't deliver. That's not nice things its taking advantage of a lie and blaming people who take up the offer.

read again, its not lie

its like giving up your seat when there is pregnant woman on the train

if you really need it then its okay, but I know why you don't believe this because its hard to have this policy in US where everyone weight 200 lbs

I think you should post a issue at this point D:

I raised the issue in the forums at the time, with video captures demonstrating the issue(s).

I think it would help to open an issue on github making explicit the following three points explicit in the report:

- steps to reproduce from scratch;

- what you expected to happen;

- what you actually observed (include the screenshot or video capture in addition to a textual description).

Otherwise, you might risk your report being ignored due to a silent misunderstanding about the mismatch between your expectations and the actual results.

I really wanted to like penpot, but when I tried a few months ago, simply navigating between pages (even on the example documents) was causing parts of the document to change in bizarre ways. I didn't want that level of risk with documents I actually cared about, so continued to use figma. I guess it's time to give it another shot. EDIT: still broken 8 months later :(

I've loaded an example document and do not see what you mean when navigating between pages. A problem like that should be extremely jarring and it is very hard to believe it would be ignored.

> A problem like that should be extremely jarring

Agreed - I don't see how its not glaringly obvious to anyone who uses the app:

So, Java instead of wasm, but open source. While LogSeq is an open source copycat (not really) of Obsidian, I simply can’t stand it. I have tried Penpot a couple of years back, so cannot say anything about it, with the exception that I noticed it’s Clojure. Would love to learn more if someone can comment on that. I guess I’m biased against Java, but I’m not experienced with it, so I may be very wrong on that one. Of…

At least the linked repository contains 0% Java. Clojure 79.2% JavaScript 7.2% SCSS 6.0% Rust 4.7% HTML 1.4% Shell 0.4% Other 1.1%

They are referring the Clojure, which is hosted on the JVM.

At the time i wasn't sure if it was PEBCAK, which is why i started a discussion in the forums. As there were no replies, i received no notifications, and so I forgot all about it.

If anyone is interested in opening a bug report you can see the issue here: https://imgur.com/a/hZ1ja9o

Genuinely asking - what's the issue? I don't see it.

Personally, I do not understand why you think there is a bug from this screen capture alone. Maybe because I am that familiar with penpot and figma, but still, I do not find it obvious.

This is why it's important to describe explicitly the three points in text:

- steps to reproduce;

- what you expected to happen;

- what actual result you observe instead.

Something that might be obvious to you but isn't for others will just be silently ignored most of the time.

EDIT: I now see the problem after reading your other reply above:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46064757#46069546

This is why it's important to describe explicitly the difference between what you expected and what you observed. I swear I did not see the change in button width before reading the linked comment.

I click to navigate to the "Examples" page (I am gesturing with my mouse to circle around a bit I want you to look at). Then i navigate to "Main components", and back to "Examples" and the content in that area has changed. For example, the button has changed to half the original width.
