An extensive list of software and hardware for AV, mutltimedia, production and creative programming use cases. First made public on Interactive & Immersive HQ.
I would recommend using Middle-Click or Right Click > "Open in New Tab" to open links as Github doesn't allow for a new tab to be created when opening a link sadly.
All tools are sorted alphabetically! Have fun! Recommendations can be made by making Issues for REQUESTS.md!
