Latest update (11-11 11:00): Indicode releases Klad, a source-available paint app that coding agents can drive

Overview: Indicode BV releases Klad, a 2D painting and animation app that a coding agent can operate from the command line on the same drawing as a human. The agent's strokes stay editable as data, so a user can later recolour or move them.

Klad is source-available, not open source. It is free for personal use and for companies with less than 500,000 euros in annual revenue. A company that, counting the companies it controls or is controlled by, had 500,000 euros or more in revenue in its last tax year must buy a licence for each person who uses Klad. This first public version must be built from source. It builds and passes its tests on Linux and Windows, but the editor starts only on Linux with the mouse, and no one has yet drawn with it on Windows. Signed builds for macOS, Windows and Linux are planned under the same licence.
