Hype for the Future 22C: Plans for novaTopFlex

On November 22, 2025, plans for novaTopFlex and associated channels over on YouTube include numerous highly modular Python projects, largely with graphical user interfaces in context, including special programming regarding software designed for travel journalism and journalists as well as for general long-distance tourism. As is typical novaTop convention for late 2025, access to the source code is an essential part of the experience, providing both access to and advocacy for free-and-open-source software (FOSS).
