Hi guys!
With the new plugins introduction, I would like to ask what do you like to see in Penpot as your next plugin? I’m a developer myself and I would like to build something for you. What do you lack? what do you need that Penpot doesn’t offer?
Also, I’m currently working on something exciting. Hope to share it with you guys soon.
If you were to make a plugin for release management, this could be useful for people working in teams, though.
@nusry image-editor would be nice
I’m not sure how to incorporate this. Can you elaborate?
yep, I’ve been thinking about it too.
Exampels
Assign tasks to team members and keep track of status (pending, in progress, review, finished) by using kanban board.
Or something like this GitHub DevBoard
RICE scoring model, for prioritazing tasks.
The acronym RICE stands for the 4 factors used to assess idea priority:
Reach,
Impact,
Confidence, and
Effort.
The formula for the RICE model is as follows:
Reach x Impact x Confidence / Effort = RICE score
Higher score is higher priority.
Planning, scheduling:
using e.g. a roadmap (the following is quite extensive).
Or by an plugin that uses taiga or combine taiga whit the things menioned above.
@nusry ImageTracer + FlattenText, IsometricView is also needed
@nusry Something like this would also be cool to have don’t know how to implement
So maybe an plugin editor to make things like above, whithout to have design and css code skills, more like a configurator where you can create things by just select/deselect options, choose colors, fond style and size, design with, …

I feel like this could be a standalone product instead.
Hi, I have a couple of ideas that I’d like to talk about to see if they might make sense or not…
1 - Having the ability to connect basic shapes (rattangles, text , etc.) with linear connectors of various types as happens in Miro, FigJam or Draw.io.
I would find it useful to easily develop flows or wireflows directly into penpots, greatly expanding the potential of the product.
2 - Having the ability to apply basic CSS code directly to a shape or text. This idea came to me because there is currently no way to create the “glass” effect with blur something like this:
.glass-effect {
background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1);
backdrop-filter: blur(10px);
border-radius: 10px;
border: 1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.3);
}
or simply change the thickness of the underline
text-decoration-thickness
things that can actually be implemented in production without any problems.
What do you think/think may be starting points for some development?

Open source img editor available GIMP, krita
@nusry or a plugin like this export UI into my flutter
Suggestion #1 would be a game-changer.
I would very much like a plug-in that exports penpot layout details as json and exports images as well with file names that match the info from the json.
I’m currently working on an importer that takes json exported from Figma and imports it into the Godot Engine. I get a fair amount of requests to do the same with penpot.
This is the godot project I’m working on: GitHub - mightymochi/figma-to-godot-experiment: An experimental Figma json importer that auto-builds nodes in Godot.
Is this the same like Figma 2 Andriod or Figma Upspeed plug in or something else?
An plug in to integrate a map would also be handy see Figmap map maker
Here are some ideas from other forum posrs:
Here are some other ideas:
If this is a reply to my reply, it is something else. It’s like this: GitHub - yagudaev/figma-to-json: 💾 Read/Write Figma Files as JSON
This is a super useful thread to get inspiration to build plugins! If you get inspired, you can always enter our Plugins contest open until Dec 15th.
Suggestion 1 is possibe one way.
You get your designs into a plugin, and then you can use connectors and what not to do your wireframes, flows. However when you put it back to penpot, you wouldn’t be able to edit it like in the plugin, even when you import it back to the plugin.
So the use case should be one-way.
as for the second suggestion, I don’t think it’s possible due to how penpot works. I’m not sure but I’ll look into it.
