This is a list that I will keep up to date with interesting projects I want to remember for when it will be the right time to use them.

Or things I tried and I didn’t like. So I imagine this page to be in continuous evolution divided by three chapters:

1. Sounds cool
2. Is cool
3. Do you know what? Not for me.

I hope the title are self-explanatory but first one is a list where I can dump projects looking interesting and the other two are the natural consequences of things I tried, and I will reuse or not really.

Sounds cool

• Excalidraw is an open source project backed by a SaaS or the other way around, hard to tell, but it sounds like a complete and nice to have way to share ideas during online meetings.
• atopile is a tool to design as code circuit board and hardware. I am not an expert and first I want to try KiCad (and learn about what I am doing) but designing my own board is something I have in mind and that I will try to do at some point
• LibrePCB to stay on topic sounds like an easy way to start designing PBC! Just what somebody like me with no experience needs

Is cool

• cstate is a static site on top of Hugo targeting status pages. We all know that it is a good practice to get a status page in front of your users, even more if they are developers. I like the simplicity and for many of my projects it is a good way to start, it is better than nothing. For sure at some point if you get all in you can do something dynamic driven by actual metrics. But as a start good for me!
• Klipper-Firmware-FLSUN-QQ-S-Pro-Delta-Printer I am into 3d printing, and I am one of the few with a Flsun QQ-S-Pro. I moved to Klipper and this configuration was a good starting point.
• FreeCAD is the tool I use when I design in 3D for printers and also for various projects involving wood and irons. As many things in opensource it is not the most intuitive tool, but the community is great. If you speak Italian there is a group on telegram that is very friendly.

Do you know what? not for me

• process-compose is a tool I added in my toolchain and that I wrote about recently, but it found its way out already not because it is bad. I really enjoyed trying it out, but it overlaps with tmux since I can already script my environment and all the binaries and needs to run, so I didn’t feel like I need it.
