Abstract
After the interface design world moved from Adobe to Sketch to Figma, Penpot joined the party in 2019 and changed the proprietary perspective into open source software.

We will also present a brief into open standards, Penpot's compatibility with other softwares, and a feel of its user interface and flagship features.
