Currently all router web interfaces that place a strong emphasis on ease-of-use are proprietary (their licenses do not permit redistribution of modified versions of their code without the author's permission). There seems to be a belief that open-source software should be designed for power-users, without much thought to those with less expertise. However, this often comes at the expense of making the interface more difficult to use, and can turn off novice users. Both X-Wrt and LuCI seem to be designed with the goal of providing the absolute maximum functionality possible.
Gargoyle takes a very different philosophical approach to interface design than X-Wrt or what I've seen of the new LuCI. You can download packages and/or firmware as well as learn more by going to the project homepage located at
For the past several months I've been working on a new web interface for OpenWrt, which I'm calling Gargoyle, and today I'm releasing the first beta version.
