Thanks for your comment. I've been following Penpot since last year and sometimes joined your livestreams :)

I really love that Penpot is sticking with standards and I think piggybacking on SVG might bring lots of cool features for free. I always thought that it would be very nice to embed custom stuff using the foreignobject tag that could enhance a live prototype (ie: videos, 3d content, real html+js, etc).

Use real scripting + SVG is a dream of mine to build a design system. You know many of us are hybrid devs and designers and sometimes pushing pixels here and there is too much work when a simple script can automate stuff :)

I hope you have a good plan on how to optimize the canvas since I found it my major blocker to use it together with the lack of autolayout (I know you are working on this last one :)

On the other hand, I'm a fan of Kaleidos and your business model and I'm very happy that you got the funding to speed up Penpot. Hopefully one day we could cross paths and have a chat!
