About Penpot
Penpot pushes a WebGL canvas beta while deepening design tokens and MCP.
Penpot is the open-source, self-hostable design and prototyping platform built on web standards (CSS flex/grid), positioned as a Figma alternative. Recent releases have converged on three fronts: maturing design tokens, opening the product to automation via a plugin API and an MCP server, and now attacking canvas performance with a WebGL rendering beta. Development is visibly community-driven, with 50+ enhancements and 60+ fixes landing per release from outside contributors.
