Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Pretty sure neither Figma or Resolve are free software.

A better, free-er alternative to figma would be something like Penpot which works pretty well and is easy to self-host.

Davinci Resolve has a free version that is missing some features. They are important features, mind. But it definitely allows you to edit videos and get a good feel for the software to see if you want to purchase it or you can just keep using the free version even.

So it's free*.

And the paid version is buy once and get a perpetual license. Very non-scummy for a full professional video editing tool.
