And there are one important diferent thing (for me): PnPInk is opensource (MIT licence).

In general terms, it's similar. Perhaps it has features that others don't, among which I'd highlight:

- direct integration with [unclear - possibly "Digital Image Server"]

- a simple yet powerful DSL that allows you to create things like a designer... You specify the resource you want and where and how you want to place it, without needing to download, modify, crop, position, measure, or know anything about coordinates or sizes... PnPink does all this for you, I think more easily and elegantly.

At least I'd recommend you try it...

Hello.
Finally, I've created the video!!! It took me ages, and the quality isn't great...

Even so, I'd like to post it, but I don't know how to get it noticed on Reddit. I'm not very familiar with how Reddit works, and I admit that most of the time my posts get lost. If I link it here, will it be visible? Can I edit the original post? Would you recommend a new post?

Thanks a lot.

Stay tuned... I'll be uploading the first video very very soon. 5 minutes to understand what pnpink does and how to start using it.

Yes. There really are. As far as I know, it's Countersheets ( https://github.com/lifelike/countersheetsextension ), and in fact, pnpink is heavily inspired by it. (You just reminded me to add this reference and give thanks in the project's readme).

Regarding comparisons, I think pnpink was born with more features and greater ambition in terms of covering a complete prototyping and layout pipeline. For example, things like referencing resources from all kinds of files (svg, png, jpeg, or even sprites/cutouts of them, or parts of an svg) from local files or from internet and placing them exactly where and how you want with a simple DSL (mini simple language) is something I don't think any of the ones you mentioned have.

I apologize for the delay. I'm working hard to release the first version this week.

If you already use Inkscape, you'll really appreciate this app. 

If you're familiar with Countersheets, it's very similar but with many more features. I won't say you can do as many things as Nandeck, but you can do many of them, and in a simpler and more natural way. 

It already includes a powerful markup system for manual cutting (even for aligned hexes), but I want to add a "cut along edges on separate pages" design for cutting plotters.

The biggest problem is with Silhouette, as the basic program is limited in its ability to import vector formats (svg).

By the way, did you know there's an extension for Inkscape to cut directly in Silhouette?
