OpenSCAD Graph Editor:

https://github.com/derkork/openscad-graph-editor

I'm really fond of visual programming tools such as node editors and Blockly, so this really appeals to me.

This was just announced on Reddit:

https://old.reddit.com/r/openscad/comments/wf33tf/i_have_cre...

w/ releases for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows:

https://github.com/derkork/openscad-graph-editor/releases/ta...

It's already been updated once since announcement, and the manual seems really good:

https://github.com/derkork/openscad-graph-editor/blob/master...

It seems a really promising tool, and the discussion on the Discord was quite enlightening. https://discord.com/invite/AsxWyczCJF

It supports all of OpenSCAD, and is extensible and able to use existing text/coded modules (BOSL-2 is cited as an example), and seems really promising --- I'm going to try porting: https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview to it, just so I can re-factor the code and hopefully get a better understanding of it visually.

For lack of time to elaborate in detail, here’s a rapid fire (in no particular order): Guix, Julia language, Framework laptops, PKM movement & tools (especially open and highly malleable substrates eg. the Emacs ecosystem), Glamorous Toolkit (another chance for SmallTalk), Perkeep, Nyxt browser.

Not really new but I'm all in self-hosting, decentralization, privacy and original web owned by individuals rather than big corp. I never manage to get drowned in any social media trends or platform.

I really like Zola https://www.getzola.org/
