CSS_EXPORT··on Penpot: Open-source design and prototyping platform
It can not export to css / html / some kind of component - why not?

Just rechecked - I can not find a way to export to something that can be useful in web frontend develoment, besides svg. No CSS, no component for any framework, no html.

I must be blind or I am not getting it - why would anybody publish an UI prototyping tool that can not export to anything useful in UI development?

So this is like a copy of Inkscape with less features that will make your laptop fan move faster? It´s like the most important feature is missing.

Very confusing.

An exporter / compiler from svg -> components / html / css would be great to have instead, so we can just continue to use Inkscape (which leaves my CPU at low temperatures, too).
