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.

Figma is NOT free software. It is proprietary, and hosted.

Penpot is a better option here.

Resolve is also proprietary.

Difference beeing, you can download resolve onto your pc and use it forever without updating, even if they decide to cancel the free version or get bankrupt. Figma runs entirely web based and if Adobe buys it it can be killed off at any point.
