+      Free electrical diagram editor, also used for plumbing, hydraulics,
+      pneumatics, automotive wiring and photovoltaic schematics.
+    longDescription: >-
+      QElectroTech (QET) is a free and open source CAD/CAE application to
+      create complex industrial and domestic electrical diagrams. While
+      originally focused on electrical engineering, it is also widely used
+      for plumbing, geothermal, air-conditioning, layout, hydraulics,
+      pneumatics, home automation, automotive wiring, process diagrams
+      (P&ID), photovoltaic installations and many other technical domains.
+
+
+      The software ships with a community-maintained library of over 9000
+      standardized symbols. It runs identically on Windows, macOS, Linux
+      and BSD, and files created on one platform can be opened on another
+      without conversion.
+
+
+      QET has been developed since 2007 and community-maintained since
+      2013. It is notably used as a free alternative to commercial
+      software such as EPLAN or SEE Electrical, by hobbyists, teachers,
+      students, professional electricians and companies worldwide.
