We explored how designers can make meaningful contributions to open-source projects with researchers Nimisha Vijay (user experience designer at Nextcloud) and Eriol Fox (open source product manager at Superbloom, as well as a PhD researcher at Newcastle University).

Through a two-way interview format, we discussed findings from their research "The Secret Life of Open Source Designers" such as: the unequal power dynamics between designers and developers within open source communities; the often slow pace of the design process; the isolation designers may experience due to insufficient feedback; and the challenge of unclear project priorities.

Penpot is the free open-source design tool for Design & Code collaboration.

Penpot is ideal for product design: UI designs, prototypes, wireframes, mockups, webs, apps, and much more.

Penpot allows a true collaboration and no handoff drama between designers and developers thanks to features like CSS Grid Layout, Flex Layout and Code Inspect.

Designers get a professional, intuitive, powerful design tool with ground-breaking responsive layouts, design systems at scale. While developers get a design tool that expresses as code and provides ready-to-use code to develop faster.

Penpot is the only one that can be web-based or self-hosted. The app works with open standards (SVG and CSS) avoiding vendor lock-in. Also, it enables teams the flexibility and control in their designs, thanks to the API and webhooks available.
