What is Voxell?

Hi I'm @nixonyh, and I lead the Voxell organization / community. Voxell is an open-source organization building tools that solve real, challenging problems. We care about pushing technology forward in ways that actually matter (e.g. empowering individuals to create, lowering the barrier to entry, knowledge sharing, and many more).

What are we building now?

Motion Graphics Editor

Voxell houses a few mature projects:

MotionGfx: A backend-agnostic motion graphics framework.
Velyst: An interactive Typst content creator.
Under the hood, these are supported by a set of foundational libraries we maintain. Things like sparse_map, rectree, field_path, and typarena.

We are planning to take this one step further in building the world's first native open source, real-time (2d + 3d), LLM assisted, motion graphics editor. Everything is planned to be open sourced so really, you can choose your own LLM backend or even self host one!

A CAD engine?

One of our mission is to build an open-source ecosystem for makers. We’re naming this whole suite of tools “Forge”. If you have ever juggled between OnShape, KiCad, Cura, and Arduino IDE all at once just to build one thing, you know the pain we’re solving. Our first few initiatives include the creation of Xad - a precision modeling CAD engine, and Fynix - our answer to building user interfaces (in Rust for now).

Come build with us!

We are a small team with big ideas, and we would love for you to be part of it. Whether you want to contribute code, report issues, share feedback, or just follow along - you are welcome here.
