A community member tried to insert a navbar they prepared earlier on Penpot by using the HTML code in an HTML Embed, but it didn't work well. The community members discussed the issue, noting that the HTML code from Penpot didn't contain any CSS, making it impossible to get the styles information. They suggested that the CSS might be inline in the original Penpot design, and that copying the entire code might work better. However, some community members warned that this approach could result in poor performance. They also highlighted the differences between design tools and production-grade builders, with the latter focusing on optimizing performance. The community members concluded that directly importing designs from tools like Penpot may not be viable without significant investment in rebuilding or rewriting the code, potentially using AI.
Hi, I tried to insert a navbar that I prepared earlier on Penpot and used the HTML code from Penpot in an HTML Embed, but unfortunately, it doesn't work well. However, I really think it could be an amazing feature!
This is the difference between pure design tool and production-grade builder. We build everything so that the result has amazing performance. This tool just spits out a bunch of crap
I don't think its ever going to be viable to just import stuff from design tools 1:1 without a massive investment into rebuilding evertything they produced either via AI or manually.
