sneaker

Summary description: Configurable Sneakers with TikZ
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The 'sneaker' package provides a highly configurable TikZ pic to draw stylised sneakers in an isometric-like perspective.
The shoe can be extensively customised via a simple key–value interface. Features include adjustable colours for various components, shoelaces with a bow, velcro straps, metal eyelets, and decorative patterns such as a lightning bolt or a star. For more detailed illustrations, the package also offers options for dashed stitching lines and even rolling wheels to transform the sneaker into an inline skate.
What started as a small visual gimmick for the slides of my Bachelor’s thesis, a sneaker as a feature model to illustrate variability and configuration, gradually grew into something more elaborate that I decided to share with the community.

package.

Summary description: Visually anchored margin notes with connector lines and dynamic placement
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
smartnotes is a light LaTeX package for margin notes whose main
idea is simple: place each note on the side of the page that gives
the shortest and clearest connector line.
Instead of always using a fixed margin, smartnotes chooses the left
or right margin dynamically from the note position in the text,
making annotations feel direct and visually tied to the exact place
they refer to.
The package also includes forced side placement, basic overlap avoidance,
two box shapes, and a convenient global disable option for draft workflows.
