BlinderKitten is built on top of JUCE framework, with the OrganicUI. There are several open source DMX lighting consoles for desktop, this one seems particularly nice and with fresh controlling paradigm ideas.
Can you link to those other projects?

Re: BlinderKitten: Free lighting software
#12This is like QLab [0], right? If so, it's fantastic to see an open-source solution pop up in this space. That was very fun software to play around in when I was using it for an immersive tabletop roleplaying game I ran. Is the goal to focus exclusively on lighting control, or will other types of effects (sounds, video, HTTP) be included eventually as well? [0] https://qlab.app/
I'm not seeing any open source license in the repo, so this is more "public source" than open source. You can't modify and redistribute the code for eg.

Sure.
The device definitions come as GDTF files, see the spec and other projects that utilize GDTF here [1]

#14Would love if the landing page had some screenshots, or if there were something in the navbar to link to a demo video. Looks cool though!
I have no connection to the project, but in the navbar is a link to their YT page.

Looks like it might also be GPL violating, some of the external deps included in the repo are copyleft.

Is there a linter/checker for this file format?

There are xsd and schematron schemas [1], see docs generated from the xsd [2]. The GDTF editor on https://gdtf-share.com [3] also has deeper internal validation some of the data logic.

Looks like a PR adding a GPL 3.0 license was just merged: https://github.com/norbertrostaing/BlinderKitten/pull/1

#20No SSL certificate on the site, so here's the GitHub repo: https://github.com/norbertrostaing/BlinderKitten/
Hmmm, I wonder what the license is for this.
