Desktop Publisher is part of Open Creative Suite—a free and open-source alternative to Adobe Creative Suite, designed for creative professionals.
Project Vision:
The goal is to make Desktop Publisher instantly familiar to users of Adobe InDesign, so creative professionals can switch without having to relearn workflows. The long-term milestone is for all Open Creative Suite apps to work together as a seamless ecosystem.
Many FOSS creative projects have dated UI/UX and lack true integration. My aim is to build a modern, intuitive experience and a real ecosystem where apps from this suite and other projects can work together seamlessly.
- No AI, no bloatware: 100% FOSS, focused on creative freedom and performance.
- For professionals: Intuitive, powerful, and ready for real-world creative work.
- Ecosystem-first: Designed for seamless integration with other apps, including third-party FOSS tools.
I am not a developer or a UI/UX designer, just someone fed up with Adobe and the lack of a true FOSS alternative. If you’re passionate about open-source, design, or development, your help is needed to make this vision a reality. All contributions are welcome!
