  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • Google Fonts

    Font files available from Google Fonts, and a public issue tracker for all things Google Fonts

    I am not a graphic designer. Honestly, I use Word (it's used at work and I used it in college). It can be incredibly powerful and actually works well for creating nice-looking documents. I am sure Open Office and Google Docs can do many of the same things. Also, you can find free fonts here. For example, a lot of OSR products use IM Fell English. But don't go too weird and make it unreadable.

  • homebrewery

    Create authentic looking D&D homebrews using only markdown

    If it is for indie/personal D&D work I'm surprised no one recommended https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/ . I use Adobe but it is overkill for personal work or even indie publishing. HomeBrewery gives good enough results with little effort.

  • 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.
