2D CAD for GNOME  

Design is a 2D computer aided design application (CAD), created to meet the needs of makers and designers, hobbyists and professionals that require a first-class CAD application.

History

Design was originally conceived as an Ubuntu / Ubuntu Phone application, written in C++, QML and JS. When the Ubuntu Phone project was cancelled in 2017 it seemed that would be the end of the road for Design, however the creator wondered if Design could possibly live on as a web app.

Now in the early 2020s Linux phones are gaining popularity and momentum, the team have reinvented Design as a GNOME application along with the original aim to provide a native CAD experience whether on the move with a mobile device, pocket PC or at a traditional workstation.
