  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App

  • cozo

    A transactional, relational-graph-vector database that uses Datalog for query. The hippocampus for AI!

  • I really like KDE but one thing that saddens me is the state of the office stuff - like KMail, KOrganizer, Desktop Search etc.pp - there was an ambitious project called Nepomuk for Semantic Desktop and that failed 10 years ago? And the Backend launches a full MySQL at the moment - I hope someday all of this will be streamlined get's an UI update and a fast database i.e. https://github.com/cozodb/cozo and the features will come back. Also KMail needs some usability improvements...

    If this stuff would work and not crash adding calendars/todo-lists in the ui would hopefully work and the original ideas and research concepts could be implemented in a fast an good way.

    Well, one can dream :)

  • bismuth

    KDE Plasma add-on, that tiles your windows automatically and lets you manage them via keyboard, similarly to i3, Sway or dwm.

  • one thing i missed from modern kde was tiling window management. but bismuth enables that. and it's absolutely great, with a ton of key bindings you can set yourself and some good mouse support if you need.
