Old designs/mockups for the existing "Tahoe-TAFS Android" application currently live on Figma but this is undesirable for several reasons:
- Figma is closed/proprietary software, which does not align with our publicly stated values
- Figma charges $12 per editor per month, which may be expensive for our (currently light) usage and/or provide additional friction for the team.
- Figma was recently acquired by Adobe, which makes its future uncertain
Penpot is an alternative to Figma with similar core features (i.e., a web application with "multiplayer" visual design) that arguably has several advantages:
- It is free/open source software
- It is self-hostable
- Penpot projects live in a free/open JSON-based file-format that can be easily exported/imported between Penpot instances
