Laura KalbagFinally updated the @penpot tour (in under 5 minutes) video. I’ve tried to pack in all the practical info you need to get started, no filler. #penpot

niklasbarningAls Designer auf Linux umsteigen – Die Software
Wenn ich an den Umstieg auf Linux als Designer denke, ist das Erste, was mir in den Sinn kommt, die Frage, wie ich weiterhin meine bekannten Tools nutzen kann. Viele von uns haben ihre Werkzeuge um, um Design-Prozesse im Team zu steuern und wollen das natürlich einfach weiterführen. Die gute Nachricht ganz am Anfang: Da das meiste eh Browserbasiert ist, ist der Umstieg auch hier kinderleicht. Aber warum sollte man auf einem Open-Source Betriebssystem einfach so weitermachen?https://niklasbarning.de/2026/03/13/als-designer-auf-linux-umsteigen-die-software/
Deven PhillipsOh, and in case anyone is curious, here's what I am self hosting these days:
- Keycloak - OpenID Authentication Provider
- Nextcloud - Private cloud service
- #Vaultwarden - Open Source implementation of BitWarden server in Rust
- Sonatype Nexus - Artifact Repository I use for Maven/Containers/NPM/etc...
- #OneDev - An open source git forge similar to GitLab
- #Stalwart - Mail Server with lots of features
- #PenPot - Open Source alternative to #Figma
Natanox 🇺🇦🇵🇸Anyone in the #Gnome ecosystem able to tell me if #Penpot is nicely usable to develop #libadwaita and #GTK4 apps? I can only find informations regarding Figma, but nothing about Penpot.
ErioldoesdesignPenpot have announced their ambassador program and I’m excited and honoured to be part of the first cohort of ambassadors alongside some fantastic and inspiring folks. https://penpot.app/ambassador-program
Check out the announcement: https://community.penpot.app/t/penpot-ambassador-program-is-live/10405
I’ll be building community where I'm based here in the UK but also wherever my connections to open source software and design take me and my work.
I’ve long been a supporter of Penpot and design needs reliable and dedicated tools and teams that support the growing need for design in open source software and transparent and open source design as a practice.
I can’t wait to get working on our collaborative library and share the liberating and collaborative nature of open source design facilitated via Penpot! 💖✏️
Come and join all the ambassadors Penpot Community Hours, 20th March at 3PM UTC.

RikerikiDependent on use case. #adobeexpress is the next commercial and sadly bigtech solution for the typical canva use case. #unplugbigtech
If you want open source and self hosted https://aktivisda.earth/ could be an idea. But it is for activist movements. #akitvisda
@penpot can be used like this but isn't as easy as drag and drop like #canva is. Comparable to #figma. You can easily set it up locally with #docker.
#penpot
#PolotnoStudio seems to be a self-hosted alternative as well. But I'm not sure how easy it is to set up and use. https://polotno.com/
For complete graphic design locally I would go for a mixture of @GIMP @Krita @inkscape. You can basically create the #content design for everything just with those three.
