A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

For a light, simplistic open source editor that's easy to get into, Goxel has been my go-to. I'd liken it to a voxel sketchpad with how easy it is to load up and simply mess about with.

For a more robust open source editor that's kinda rough around the edges, there's VengiVoxEdit, which I've honestly only scratched the surface of personally.

For a similarly robust editor that's less rough around the edges, the standard recommendation is MagicaVoxel. It's a solid choice, but I'm not sure if the developer is continuing work on it or not, which makes a difference here as it's not open source. It still works fine right now though, so if you're on Windows/Mac, it's a good option for a smooth, feature rich editor.
