I’m at #Converge! Very excited to sit and learn from some fabulous talks today. Thank you to @zeroheight.com, @bencallahan.com and @penpot.app for bringing me here to Bristol so last minute.

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.

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