Penpot - Design Freedom for Teams

[ruihildt]

It's clearly more than a typical alpha in terms of stability, but they still have some missing features that are needed to make it useful for all (like custom fonts).

At this point, they encourage users to use their hosted version, so they get better logs, etc. I agree with that logic, and they have for now my trust to do the right thing, based on Taiga experience.

@ruihildt Yeah the moment I realized it was the same team behind Taiga I was on board. I don't mind a hosted version but I do always try to minimize what I have hosted that isn't on my cloudron dashboard. Makes it easier to keep track of things. Curious to see where this project goes though.

Hi @jimcavoli is there any movement on packaging Penpot for Cloudron? Is there anything you need, could do with help on?

I'm a UX designer and I use Penpot for my work, and I run my own Cloudron hosted services.

If there's anything I can do to help in the packaging, please let me know.

I feel that there's more great FOSS webapps being created than there are already on Cloudron.

How do we make sure gems like this get packaged in a reasonable time?

I'm gonna be dead before you get anywhere near half-way through that Wishlist.

@marcusquinn Cloudron should offer one month free for each app packaged and published then see how many apps you would get

[timconsidine]

@adeelahmad nice idea .... although Cloudron Q&A would be swamped with stuff that doesn't work fully

[adeelahmad]

@timconsidine right, but it could be that apps published by other folks can be released as alpha releases which could be tested and votted for normal releases by other people.

I think the work involved in packaging has significantly more value than $15/30 so potential quality problems aside I'm not sure how much of an incentive that'd be.

Easier to just use referral codes to refer a few people (I've not had to pay anything for my Cloudron for a while because I've referred so many people! )

I will be attempting to package this app this weekend. I will post updates in this thread.

[ei8fdb]

@nj wonderful! This makes me very happy! If you'd like some help testing I'm very happy to.

Btw at our Open Source Design devroom at Fosdem this year Clara from Penpot will be talking about how they gather and implement user feedback.

I've used this on Caprover, very nice. It'd be great to have it on Cloudron!

@nj In the spirit of Lunar New Year, 加油！ (Jiāyóu! This literally means, "add oil", but in every day use it's shouted as encouragement to competitors, a race, some event needing great effort.)

Not yet. Had to re-package Keycloak to support the latest version that broke everything. I'm into penpot rn.

@nj May I humbly ask that env variables to enable and disable both registration and the Demo User be included please? I've been trying this out on Caprover, and this is an ongoing request on that platform. So far we can turn off Registration, but the Demo User option remains. Yikes. Thank you again!

[ei8fdb]

@nj Great news. That was an attempt at a joke. I'll be very grateful with whatever progress you make.

If I can help please let me know.

[m-si]

I would absolutly love to see penpot here. It's going to be the perfect figma alternative.
+1

[potemkin_ai]

would be a wonderful addition to Taiga, everything required for development in one package!

[marcusquinn]

@nj Did you ever get any further with this?

[ei8fdb]

Has anyone made any progress on Penpot? I'm still happy to help out any way I can.
