This week, we looked at Penpot. Penpot is an open source design tool similar to Figma. Weused this time to try and collaborate on a simple design together and take notes on what we liked and didn't like. Now, using what we learned from our open design discussion the previous week, we can take our feedback to Penpot and open issues if need be.
