Creative Tools, Inspiration & Maker Resources
Create mode surfaces tools, inspiration, and communities for makers of all kinds — from indie design tools and creative coding platforms to writing resources, music production experiments, and the kind of artistic projects that make you want to build something.
What are you in the mood for?
What You'll Discover in Create Mode
Indie design & creative tools
Color palette generators, typography experiments, layout tools, and design resources from independent creators — not the same tools everyone already uses.
Creative coding & generative art
p5.js sketches, shader experiments, algorithmic art platforms, and tutorials that turn code into visual poetry.
Writing resources & communities
Indie writing tools, fiction workshops, poetry generators, and craft essays from working writers that'll change how you think about words.
Music & sound experiments
Browser-based synthesizers, collaborative music tools, sound design resources, and audio visualizations that blur the line between music and art.
Maker & DIY communities
Hardware projects, woodworking blogs, electronics tutorials, and communities of people building physical things in their garages.
Open-source creative platforms
Free alternatives to expensive creative software, community-built tools, and platforms that put creators first.
“The best creative tools are often built by one person in their spare time. We help you find them.”
