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

    Read-only LibreOffice core repo - no pull request (use gerrit instead https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/) - don't download zip, use https://dev-www.libreoffice.org/bundles/ instead (by LibreOffice)

  • LibreOffice, similar OpenOffice, which has already been mentioned, but still supported and updated.

  • longform

    A plugin for Obsidian that helps you write and edit novels, screenplays, and other long projects.

  • It might not be exactly what you're looking for, but it is free and it's all local. If you decide to give it a go, try a few of the community made plugins (I use Longform, Advanced Tables, Templater and Tracker) to see just how cool and easy it is to customise. Installing directly from the community plugins browser isn't the most secure, but you can manually install whatever you want just by downloading directly from GitHub. It's a lot easier than it sounds!

  • 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.

  • obsidian-releases

    Community plugins list, theme list, and releases of Obsidian.

  • I used to use Scrivener (and sometimes I still do!) but I felt it wasn't quite what I needed for other aspects of writing (world building, timelines etc). Essentially, I was looking for my own Wikipedia. After a few goes with other self-hosted wikis, and a lot of time on the internet, I came across Obsidian.

  • advanced-tables-obsidian

    Improved table navigation, formatting, and manipulation in Obsidian.md
