Open Source Design Software

A simple framework for plugin system development with as few dependencies as possible. It is designed to offer a set of very lean classes (plugin managers and plugin interfaces) which can easily be customised by decoration or inheritance. Yapsy v1.x supports Python2 and Python3. Its source package contains versions of the sources for both pythons. Yapsy v2+ supports Python 3 and it's development happens now on https://github.com/tibonihoo/yapsy/ Usage samples, advices and developer's documentations are available on the main website.

GitHub-Dark is a userstyle that transforms GitHub’s interface into a coherent dark theme, covering repositories, issues, pull requests, gists, and profile pages. Distributed as a CSS stylesheet intended for the Stylus browser extension, it applies a comprehensive palette, rebalances contrast, and refines syntax colors for code views to ensure readability in low-light settings. The project goes beyond simple inversion by thoughtfully adjusting backgrounds, borders, badges, and diff highlights so the UI feels native rather than “flipped.” It includes targeted fixes for edge cases across GitHub’s many subpages, aiming for consistency while preserving the information hierarchy of the original design. Users can apply the theme selectively, override variables, or combine it with other userstyles to fit personal preference. Even with GitHub’s own theme options, GitHub-Dark remains a carefully tuned alternative for people who want a specific aesthetic or more granular control.

A fast and reliable tool, written in Java 8, for generating professional UML sequence diagrams from text. Supports actors, con-/destructors, threads, broadcasts, notes, and fragments. Can serve as a Javadoc taglet. Exports PDF, (E)PS, SVG, PNG, ... The source code is hosted at http://github.com/sdedit/sdedit

Specter is an object-behaviour specification framework for .NET and Mono. It enables behavior driven development (BDD) by allowing developers to write executable specifications for their objects, before actually implementing them.

Simloc is the tool intended for finding similar chunks (blocks) of code. It could be used in reverse software engineering. It is faster than SimScan, find better blocks than PMD/CPD (not just exact blocks also similar) and could be runed at GRID.

AppLaunch is a MacOS X tool written in Objective-C/Cocoa to launch common Unix and MacOS commands using a "graphical command line". You can say that it is the MacOS X version of Windows', KDEs, ... "Run"/"Launch" dialog.

This is a general purpose tool optimized for managing, programming and automating machines, services and apps or just loose parts of code snippets. It comes with a visual block language and a visual GUI designer which lets you inter connect and automate all sorts of devices. It has built-in support for TCP, UDP, Serial, MQTT, SSH, Arduino/Raspberry-PI or access to your custom API via HTTP.

Extracts dependencies and OO metrics from Java class files produced by most Java compilers. Computes API differences between versions. No source needed. Includes both Swing and command-line interfaces, with XSL stylesheets for formatting output.

Tracks project details using a variety of data options. Primarily designed to contain and organize software requirements in a multi-project, multi-user, environment using a networked SQL compliant database management system while tracking changes.

This project is attempting to create an maintain a public implementation of the Active Record pattern, to be used with ESRI products, coded using ArcObjects and C# 3.5.

Java Fine Print is a Design by Contract (DbC) tool. Developers add @Invar, @Pre, and @Post annotations to their code. Java Fine Print uses these annotations to generate Java source code that tests for contract violations.

project aimed towards design and subsequent implementation of compilers for new programming language

Libverticale's mission is to provide semantic web services for an artists center.

Small add-on library for Struts that minimizes coupling between pages. It is based on a new software architecture vision using pages as independent components.

This project is just a simple exploration of object oriented design patterns. Our project begins with a Conway Game of Life program, applying patterns where possible. The eventual goal of this project is to develop a reusable library of patterns.

ObjectBuilder is a C++ code generation CASE tool (CASE, code generation, refactoring, documentation generation). It lets you create, manipulate and navigate classes, class relations, class members and class methods at a high level of abstraction. ObjectBuilder dramatically simplify work with C++ project architecture. I use it and think that tree OO interface targeted to C++ more fast and power than UML class diagrams. ObjectBuilder perfectly organize C++ header files with any level of complexity. Even if you use loop-references if OO hierarchy, you need include only one project-level header file. You can easy modify and refactore existing project with cut/copy/paste ANY object (from Method Argument to entire Project) within project and between ObjectBuilder projects. ObjectBuilder is not an IDE tool. It is portable two-way architect code-generation tool.

Java objects that share parts of immutable graphs. Reused subgraphs have directly or indirectly recursive Elements. Selected components get replaced by new counterparts in Context of Mirrors - translation tables. Deep copies are not involved.

Web-based relational database designer. With version control, autosave and real-time database manipulation. TODO: admin module, search, undo/redo buttons, multi-database real-time support (only PostgreSQL actually), etc. Based on WWWSQLDesigner

Stingray provides a robust Object Oriented Programing framework for Javascript. Stingray's classes lessen development time for graphic/multi-media designers and web developers and focus on new projects, rather than re-invent the wheel.

TreeDL (Tree Description Language) is a notation for tree structures used by programs (like syntax trees) and tool for translation of tree descriptions to target programming language, docs generation, etc. Tool's functionality can be extended by plugins.

Database application development suite for PHP and MySQL. Enables the rapid development of complex database applications from SQL to HTML.

tk-goodies provides a set of Tcl/Tk packages to build GUI in an easy and powerfull way.

wxCocoaDialog is an multi-platform port of the CocoaDialog application for OS X, that allows the use of common GUI controls such as file selectors, text input, progress bars, yes/no confirmations and more with a command-line application.
