The Linux Design Tool
AKIRA IS CURRENTLY IN EARLY DEVELOPMENT, NOT READY TO BE USED!
Akira is a native Linux Design application built in Vala and GTK. Akira focuses on offering a modern and fast approach to UI and UX Design, mainly targeting web designers and graphic designers. The main goal is to offer a valid and professional solution for designers who want to use Linux as their main OS.
