What is mod.lab?

mod.lab is a community based platform being designed & developed as part of a thesis project and will launch this summer. Until then we need your help to form and maintain an open-source community. To inspire artists, designers, and developers is at the core of mod.lab's narrative. Many designers create their own tools but never share them. With mod.lab, we want to offer a platform where these tools can be made accessible, allowing others to use, adapt, and further develop them.

mod.lab is looking for:

Open-source tools that edit, manipulate, or generate graphics, animations, typography, text, and more.

* Your tool does not require any user data other than uploads and does not store or share user data. No logins, no registration, no data collection.
