  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale

  • shell

    Pop!_OS Shell

  • Seems as good a place as any to ask - what KDE extension would most closely replicate the functionality of https://github.com/pop-os/shell ? No joke, this is probably one of the biggest blockers keeping me from ditching Gnome.

  • krohnkite

    A dynamic tiling extension for KWin

  • No idea what exactly that shell does but in KDE krohnkite https://github.com/esjeon/krohnkite was pretty popular until it was somehow superseeded by bismuth https://github.com/Bismuth-Forge/bismuth (which forked krohnkite or was inspired by or whatever) and now with Plasma 5.27 there's initial work on a native tiling window manager including a whole new API for people to build upon, and which can be accessed with Meta+T.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
