Very satisfying moment when I realised the CSS grid sticky footer technique works perfectly in Penpot.

Just one day left to get your answers in for The Question! I’m joining @bencallahan.com to explore the design system learning curve.

Do you work with design systems? Are you just starting out in design systems? We’d really love your input…

She is too cute. Heterochromia! I would’ve called my Osky “Bowie” if he had different colour eyes when he was a pup, but he developed the brown-green eye at ~1 year old.

If you want to talk #Penpot, come find me before I manage to completely rub my name off my badge.

Version 2 of my design tokens starter kit is now downloadable from the Penpot Hub.

@penpot.app introduced support for font size tokens in last week’s 2.9 release, so I’ve added some starter tokens and demos for those.

Yesterday we had to say goodbye to my best friend, my fluffy shadow, my sweet grumpy companion of 13 years. Osky will always be the bestest boy. I miss him so much.

Please give your dog friends extra tummy rubs and carrots from me.

I created a design tokens starter kit for @penpot.app and it’s now downloadable from the Penpot Hub.

If you try it, please let me know any feedback or feature requests. I’ll keep updating it for future Penpot releases.
