GoKawiilDoory launches as a free, self-hostable open-source design editor
Doory is a browser-based design tool offering templates and a blank-canvas editor for posters, slides, resumes, business cards and more, with exports to PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF, MP4 and GIF. It requires no account, is free to use, and can be self-hosted via a single docker compose command that runs the app, API, database and live collaboration.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
By being open-source and self-hostable, Doory positions itself as an alternative to Canva for users or organisations wanting full control over their design data rather than relying on a third-party cloud service. Features like real-time co-editing, brand kits and in-browser background removal suggest an attempt to match commercial design tools' core workflows while keeping the software free and under user control.
