I don’t have better tips than those already shared by @schnesen and @LauraKalbag to improve the case. I just want to add a sneak peek and a small offer.
For style-related aspects (such as Size and Colors), design tokens enable efficient management across multiple dimensions like brands, devices or themes. Also, variants are coming soon to Penpot, making it easier to organize and visualize components in the library. Here’s a screenshot from a test file: a single main component contains all the options (variants) shown in the center, configured through properties like Variant, Icon, and State, as you can see at the right sidebar.
The offer: we’ll soon launch a beta test for Variants. We’d love to include people who are especially interested in design systems (like those participating in this conversation) and willing to give us feedback. Community ideas have been key in previous features (like Plugins and Grid Layout), and we believe they will be again this time. If you’re interested in joining the test, just write us to support@penpot.app and we’ll add you to the beta tester list.
