#2OpenSCAD Graph Editor:
https://github.com/derkork/openscad-graph-editor
I'm really fond of visual programming tools such as node editors and Blockly, so this really appeals to me.
This was just announced on Reddit:
https://old.reddit.com/r/openscad/comments/wf33tf/i_have_cre...
w/ releases for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows:
https://github.com/derkork/openscad-graph-editor/releases/ta...
It's already been updated once since announcement, and the manual seems really good:
https://github.com/derkork/openscad-graph-editor/blob/master...
It seems a really promising tool, and the discussion on the Discord was quite enlightening. https://discord.com/invite/AsxWyczCJF
It supports all of OpenSCAD, and is extensible and able to use existing text/coded modules (BOSL-2 is cited as an example), and seems really promising --- I'm going to try porting: https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview to it, just so I can re-factor the code and hopefully get a better understanding of it visually.

#3Not really new but I'm all in self-hosting, decentralization, privacy and original web owned by individuals rather than big corp. I never manage to get drowned in any social media trends or platform.
I really like Zola https://www.getzola.org/

Love the looks of Zola, have you used it for a personal project yet?
Also, I'm a fan of the concept of decentralization, but I dislike how much it is now associated with the "crypto-bro" demo. Have you seen any projects capitalize on this new wave of decentralization while staying clear of the "Web3" side of the internet?

I use it (Zola) for my personal humble blog https://undeadalien.xyz
Disclosure: It's in Romanian, no cookies, no JS, no trackers
Beaker Browser https://beakerbrowser.com/ seems dead, loved the concept but it's no longer updated
Now that you've asked, nope, didn't found anything with a clear future on the "Web3" side of the internet. Vast majority make use of crypto/blockchain and IMHO blockchain is anything but not decentralization.

#7For lack of time to elaborate in detail, here’s a rapid fire (in no particular order): Guix, Julia language, Framework laptops, PKM movement & tools (especially open and highly malleable substrates eg. the Emacs ecosystem), Glamorous Toolkit (another chance for SmallTalk), Perkeep, Nyxt browser.

You've given me a lot of fun new things to learn about - thank you! Any particular favorites when it comes to PKM? I've experimented with Roam and Obsidian and eventually lost steam with both. Maybe I need a fresh approach.

I quite enjoyed using Logseq (esp programmability with queries, etc), but I can’t use it at work so I’m sticking to the Emacs/org-roam ecosystem for now.
