2023 seems to be once again the year of AIs. The year, in which everyone can test out the latest revolutionizing developments from their home and is actually impressed. Springwolf鈥檚 new logo And so, we tried it out as well. We were looking for a logo for the springwolf open source project. Neither of us are graphics designer nor have a budget to hire one.

You can use springwolf-asyncapi-ui as an alternative or in addition to the existing springwolf-ui project....
