Designer Minigui Extend
Hello everyone!
I'd like to share an important update with all of you who follow and use the Designer — the form creation tool I developed and made freely available, which today functions primarily as a project manager.
Recently, MiniGUI Extend has taken a more commercial direction, which created a conflict with the goals of the Designer, a tool that has always been focused on free usage. In order to preserve this collaborative spirit, I decided to create a fork of the last publicly available version of MiniGUI Extend (25.06) — the last version released with source code access.
This new project is called OpenMiniGUI, and it will be maintained as an open and community-driven initiative, with the source code publicly available on GitHub. Anyone interested will be able to contribute with improvements, fixes, and future developments of the library.
It’s important to mention that users of the commercial version of MiniGUI Extend will still be able to use the Designer normally, as compatibility will be preserved — the two projects remain independent.
With this change, the Designer will officially adopt OpenMiniGUI as its base, and a new version of the tool will be released: version 4, bringing improved compatibility, stability, and new possibilities.
The main goal of this project is to keep the experience alive for users who are not professional developers, offering an accessible, free, and easy-to-use alternative for creating projects.

Thank you to everyone who has supported the project so far. I invite anyone interested to join this new phase — more open, transparent, and collaborative.
Best regards,
Ivanil Marcelino
