LibreCAD
LibreCAD is a cross-platform 2D CAD program written in C++14 using the Qt framework. It can read DXF and DWG files and can write DXF, PDF and SVG files. The user interface is highly customizable, and has dozens of translations.
LibreCAD, OpenSCAD (more script based and more for solids), FreeCAD.

Project mention: Some might not see how much work is/was to maintain xorg server | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-29
can also be used in non-KDE X11 desktop environments.
which doesn't really explicitly say much, and in fact the only tool I could find that claimed to be able to support everything was ksnip, which seems to work fine with wlroots but beyond that https://github.com/ksnip/ksnip#known-issues outlines the situation well enough; KDE is at least only temporarily broken, but GNOME isn't going to improve because GNOME did that on purpose. Now, that readme says you can use xdg-desktop-portal, but I have a GNOME+Wayland machine on hand, and I couldn't get it to actually work. I think what's supposed to happen is that every time I do a screenshot it prompts for permission, which I wanted to verify so I could complain that that was totally unreasonable, but what actually happens is that it just fails, which is... not better. Oh, and while searching for solutions to that I found flameshot, but that just refuses to even run. So... maybe someday the portal solution will work; in the meantime, I feel comfortable describing the situation as Wayland not having a uniform working way of taking screenshots.
[0] In particular, so we can avoid the situation from X11 where a load of drawing primitives are baked in that nobody has any use for anymore.

Agreed, that sort of documentation is pure gold when done well.
It's something I always try to pay forward by doing in my own code. For example, one of my own solo projects was an STB-style single-header -like rasterizer library for C++. I started the implementation half of the library with a short outline of the rendering pipeline's dataflow and the top-level functions responsible for each stage:

LibreCAD_3
LibreCAD 3 is a next generation 2D CAD application written to be modular, with a core independent from GUI toolkits. Scripting is possible with Lua.

Previously Spectacle used the kImageAnnotator library for the annotation function, so when that library got cropping support Spectacle got it too. For better or worse the new UI no longer uses that library, so I'm guessing the Spectacle devs will have to add in cropping support manually now. No clue if there are plans for it unfortunately, but I assume if work gets started on it there will be an update on that bug report.

Project mention: Introducing Consistency: OpenAI has released the code for its new one-shot image generation technique. Unlike Diffusion, which requires multiple steps of Gaussian noise removal, this method can produce realistic images in a single step. This enables real-time AI image creation from natural language | /r/StableDiffusion | 2023-04-12
I'm working on https://github.com/rodjjo/diffusion-expert
