Sorry (maybe fall some negative karma points to me) but I tell that Penpot remembers to me to YaCy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YaCy . When a project is awesome but the language made it is the worse (YaCy is made of in java, and PenPot Clojure).

Just for curiosity, what lang would you have picked for YaCy in 2003, and which one for the Penpot today?

#173Hi, Pablo from Penpot here. - New rendering engine should fix the performance issues. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciG0U5jJtHY (older reference https://community.penpot.app/t/its-time-for-penpot-to-almost... ) Open beta coming in the next few weeks, finally! - Our business model is Open Nitrate (see https://community.penpot.app/t/penpots-upcoming-business-mod... ).

Looking forward to the new rendering engine. Very exciting work!

This is why we can't have nice things. People see 'unlimited' and will do everything in their power to 'fact-check' it, forcing the producer to place a 'hard cap' and making everyone's life worse.
Can confirm. Worked at a startup with some very generous (though not “unlimited”) limits designed to allow for bursts and spikes of usage. Some people took it upon themselves to try to abuse and saturate the limits to “prove” that we couldn’t handle it. We could actually handle it, but it wasn’t worth offering it to this small number of users who were trying to prove a point by abusing it to the max without an actual…
I still remember people abusing Claude Code, they even had a leaderboard for who spent the most tokens.
Billions of tokens wasted for nothing

Hi, any plans to release an installable offline desktop version with no account requirement, similar to Inkscape? That would be great.

> A problem like that should be extremely jarring Agreed - I don't see how its not glaringly obvious to anyone who uses the app: https://imgur.com/a/hZ1ja9o
Unrelated but imgur is basically malware at this point. I had to click through so many layers of nagging popups (including a “don’t support us” button, then a severely low-contrast “view in safari” button on a dialog explicitly designed to get me to accidentally click the app link), then when I finally got to your picture, any sort of interaction with the page whatsoever, including pinch-zooming to see the image, jus…
I didn’t experience any of that, using an iPad. There were ads above and to the right of the OP video, but it displayed the video with no popups.

Yeah can't see that lasting. I wish someone would make one with limited adverts that just pays for the hosting and moderation costs. How hard can it be?
I mean nothing is guaranteed to last in the future, but catbox.moe has been around for like a decade already.

I can see both sides of the dilemma and I don't necessarily like when a maintainer defaults to "open a PR" but asking for a reproducible issue wherever requested is not too much to ask. With a PR I understand not wanting to put the effort in as it may not be merged. But offering up a reproducible example on the correct forum is the least you could do. If you want the problem fixed that's the best way forward.
> offering up a reproducible example on the correct forum is the least you could do I suggested someone do that 8 hrs ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46069471 So far no takers. Just people saying what they would do instead of actually doing it :)
I've done it:

Thanks for sharing all the details about the issue, and shame on all the armchair critics :D
Re: Penpot: The Open-Source Figma

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…
I hate how every time someone even talks about an issue with an open source project, some smart alec replies "well did you raise an issue?" - or worse - "did you send a PR to fix it?". We are all very aware how bug reporting works. And user criticism of bugs isn't somehow invalidated just because the users didn't go to the sometimes very large effort to report bugs. I wouldn't have reported this bug either. If the ex…
I opened an issue based on the discussion here and it didn't take much time or effort.
(It was one of those form-based issue templates that requires you to explicitly list out Steps to Reproduce, Expected behavior, Actual behavior, OS version, etc. which IMO causes slightly more friction for anyone who knows how to put together a good bug report, but I've also seen enough poorly-specified issues to know that it's necessary sometimes)
Re: Penpot: The Open-Source Figma
#180I 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 :(
Same, but the lack of Sketch import was a deal-breaker. It shouldn't have launched without that. Has that been fixed?
