+Penpot is a Solid Open-Source Figma Alternative to Look Out for!
+======
+Penpot is a free and open-source solution as an alternative to Figma and similar design tools. What do you think?
+
+![Penpot is a Solid Open-Source Figma Alternative to Look Out for!][1]
+
+Adobe is acquiring the popular design tool [Figma][2] for a whopping **$20 billion**.
+
+As usual, it is the big tech eliminating the competition by acquiring businesses. So, not entirely a piece of exciting news.
+
+But, **what's exciting** is we came across a free and open-source design tool that gets its inspiration from Figma and does a few things better!
+
+### Penpot: Free & Open-Source Design Tool in Development
+
+![Penpot UI][3]
+
+[Penpot][4] is an open-source project in active development. It is in its beta phase following its launch on [ProductHunt][5] nearly two years ago.
+
+**Here's what makes Penpot interesting:**
+
+* Free and open-source (of course).
+* Option to Self-host.
+* Cross-platform.
+* Using SVG as the native format.
+* Web-based.
+* Featuring industry-standard features (inspired by Figma).
+
+You can watch its official video to know the basics of it:
+
+![Penpot for Beginners][6]
+
+The major highlight of Penpot is the use of SVG as its native format. With SVG files, you get compatibility with many vector graphics editing tools.
+
+So you do not get locked down with a proprietary file format that can be accessed using a particular application.
+
+Penpot gives you the absolute best of open standards.
+
+The **CEO of Penpot,***Pablo Ruiz-Múzquiz*, mentions more about it:
+
+So, using SVG as the native format has a lot of advantages!
+
+At the moment, the project is in its beta stage and constantly improving with plenty of skilled contributors in the project.
+
+**This can turn out to be the most useful open-source alternative to Figma, breaking out of big tech for design tools.**
+
+You can self-host it or use the cloud app to test it out. Sign up at its official website to learn and experiment with it.
+
+You can also check out its [GitHub page][7] to explore more.
+
+[Penpot][8]
+
+This also reminds me of [Akira][9], which aimed to be a native Linux app for UI and UX design. It is still in its early development stage, but such efforts are always appreciated when it involves Linux or the open-source initiative.
