True, "it seems to be" but it's not. We have taken established standards found on other tools (Figma is one of them) because we wanted to make sure the learning curve was superflat. At the same time we're building a "code meets design" approach that is very different. SVG as native format already tells you that we favour open standards instead of conceding to our private representation/storage abstraction. I wonder, whenever Figma finally adopts RTL support, will people say "oh, the copied Penpot there"? grin. The same way Taiga has its own personality, Penpot will steadily design (pun intended) its own path and diverge more and more from established design tools. The fact that the design tool market is so tiny doesn't help either, TBH, but this is one the issues we're trying to fix with Penpot.

Which in turn is a clone of Sketch.

Partly what attracted me was the open-sourceness of it, usually a requirement for all things here on HN. I’ve only dabbled in Figma but it seemed significantly different to me in ui?
