Hi @skorphil ! At the time being, we are conducting an internal beta of the new render engine and finishing its integration with the new text editor.

Hey @skorphil, we’re considering opening a beta test, such as the one we did for Variants. If you don’t want to wait for the official call, you can email us at support@penpot.app to request participation.

Hello @myfunnyandy,
I would like to participate too! As I struggled in generating documentation with my plugin, that took me 60 seconds, and even a crash :laughing:

One crash for 60 seconds of work seems like a fair rate :sweat_smile:

Stay tuned, we’ll write you when the time for the beta test comes.
