3. Diagrams.net (formerly Draw.io) Diagrams.net is a free, open-source diagramming tool which has recently added some AI-powered features in a bid to make things easier on the user. It's a multi-diagram-type tool ranging from flowcharts and network diagrams to UML support. The AI functionality helps with layout suggestions, making optimal placements of shapes and connectors such that users spend less time adjusting them manually. Diagrams.net also houses integrations with popular cloud storage platforms such as Google Drive and OneDrive for easier collaboration on storing your diagrams safely. It is ideal for those needing solutions to help their diagramming needs that are not only free but also quite powerful.

Based on [1] it looks like System76 does actually think about accessibility, but it's not upstreamed yet.

bgfx
Cross-platform, graphics API agnostic, "Bring Your Own Engine/Framework" style rendering library.
I previously integrated bgfx [1], which allows you to write graphics code and shaders once and supports consoles, with SDL2 stack and Swift [2]. It was quite a nice experience, especially for someone who had never worked with any of these tools before. I'm excited for SDL3 as it introduces console abstractions, eliminating the need for additional dependencies for the GPU API, especially for someone who casually experiments with graphics. Moreover, Godot officially supports the Steam Deck, and hopefully, more consoles will be supported in the future. On a related note, Miguel de Icaza is advocating for Swift adoption in Godot, and he is working on porting the editor to SwiftUI on iPad, which is quite interesting to see the progress [3].

Why would any software developer use an API? Well, it's not to get rid of that shirt stain you had for the last three days that's for sure. Instead, we crazy bunch use APIs to progress our software development at a faster rate. I don't really want to work with the Windows API nor do I care to open the rotten can of sardines that is the X11 API. But, thankfully, I don't have to. There are plenty of APIs that handle that for me. And they handle it very nicely too. GLFW is one of these APIs. Easy to use, fast to set up, and overall doesn't have any overhead. Handles window creation, input, and any operating system-specific stuff. It solves a clear and appropriate problem. Left pad, however, is the complete opposite. Does it solve a problem? Sure it does... if you were hit on the head with a baseball bat 17 times. Can't I at least add padding to any direction? No? Does it just have to be the left? Even though we C++ folks can say that the JavaScript weirdos are the only ones who would do such a heinous thing, that wouldn't be the entire story. It would be hypocritical even to assume that all of the useless APIs exist only in the JS ecosystem. Although being hypocritical is my strong point, even I would stop you right there. If there is an ecosystem that would be perfect for breeding unnecessarily complex, widely inefficient, and completely useless libraries, it would be C++... Rust would come at a close second but C++ is the mother of all useless and complex libraries.
