Last week's Wake Up covered the developer's seven free Adobe-style applications. The meaningful new development is a separate set of office-app experiments: GridCraft, DeckCraft and WordCraft, intended to echo spreadsheets, slides and documents.

The tools are open source and built with substantial AI assistance. That makes them interesting as a demonstration of one engineer's output, not as a reason to replace mature productivity software. Current reporting says they remain far from complete substitutes for Excel, PowerPoint or Word.

For a consulting business, the useful experiment is to test one throwaway file, especially whether formatting and export survive a round trip. Do not open confidential client material or assume production reliability. The community is also asking for CAD tools, a possible future direction rather than a shipped CADcraft product.
