Broadly this is great to see and I’m sure the team has worked hard on this.

But can’t help but feel like this is a bit of knee jerk reaction to the growth of the much smaller open source product Penpot, that’s received increasing interest and even some funding since the Figma sale was announced.

Penpot has bet on making all the controls match the html/css spec as well as save everything as svg, in short having a big focus on making devs first class stakeholders.

This feels like a late response following Penpot Fest that ran recently and announced many cool dev features.

Aren't there network effects to using Figma, that a self-hosted version of Penpot will never benefit from?

Just like Github vs open source Gitea alternative.

GitHub is too cheaply priced to disrupt. IMHO, Figma is expensive and Dev mode is poor.
