   Some weeks ago @nonlinear volunteered as a UX/UI designer for @manyver_se and now we have the first outcomes of this collaboration! 🎨 He is designing the flow for following hashtags on the app, and it's all open design in this Figma doc: https://www.figma.com/community/file/1090192629575468027

     Do you have a copy not on Cloudlare for people to check out?

     @nonlinear @manyver_se Another outcome is that we're documenting design guidelines in our Wiki, starting from Principles and Themes. The two principles I identified were:
     1. "Reform and re-educate, don't innovate."
     2. "Be a toolkit, not a service."

     @dsfgs @staltz @nonlinear No, we don't. Eventually we want to use the open source alternative Penpot, but for now we prefer the tools that Figma gives us.

     @manyver_se @dsfgs @staltz Id love to jump to open source tools, trust me. But penpot missed one key tool that facilitates my life a lot.

     Things penpot has
     - shared components
     - prototyping (probably better than figma)

     Things penpot lacks
     - autolayout

     @nonlinear @manyver_se @dsfgs @staltz then put autolayouts in with macros, patches or scripts. It's free software after all, you can do anything with it.

     @iska @nonlinear @manyver_se @dsfgs That's a bit inconsiderate, it's non trivial for him or for me to do such patches to Penpot, on top of all the work that we're already swamped with it. If you want to contribute to building those scripts for us, be our guest, but in the meantime, it's perfectly okay for us to use Figma if we want to, and if our productivity demands it.

     @iska @manyver_se @dsfgs @staltz the best I can do is give them a hint on what prevents me from adopting penpot and I even suggested a way that would put them ahead of figma.

     And that's all I can offer for now.

     @iska @manyver_se @dsfgs @staltz this assumes a lot. Assumes time. Assumes skills. This assumes a lot.
