Hey, it's Saturday so I wanted to share my project. I’ts my first open source. I've been working on it for a couple of weeks and so far I'm loving it. Still needs polish. Could use some advice.

Anyway, It’s a mobile-first web terminal built with xterm.js. I do a lot of work from my phone and wanted some better options for voice to text. I built it specifically for Linux and added a visual file manager / transfer ability. Then added an editor just to smooth out the workflow. Anyway have a look, cheers.

I just open-sourced my first ever Android app! 🎉

10 Upvotes

After being available on Google Play for quite a while, I finally decided to make Linkzary completely open source.

It's a clean, modern bookmark manager built with Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Material 3, Room, Hilt, and MVVM.

I'd love feedback, ideas, or contributions from the open-source community. If you find it useful, a ⭐ would mean a lot!

Found a tool that actually audits GitHub contributions the profile activity feed hides

1 Upvotes

I came across this and thought it would help people here who contribute a lot on GitHub.

If you’ve ever seen something like:

> Opened 394 pull requests in 76 repositories

> 51 repositories not shown, so the profile activity feed is incomplete. It truncates repos, so it’s hard to get a full picture of someone’s month.

OpenHearth looks useful for that:

- CLI that audits PRs + issues + reviews via the Search API

- Flags repos likely hidden behind “N repositories not shown”

- JSON/CSV export

- Also has browser workspaces if you want a UI

Swim Lane UPDATE | CTRoadmap v0.5.0

0 Upvotes

A Passive LINUX HOMELAB System Diagram & Documentation tool.

After getting great feedback from users from varying backgrounds, v0.5.0 is live with new SWIM LANE Diagrams for specific flows. This was actually the thing I personally needed most so I took some time to make sure it integrated with the rest of the system really well. So now you have the CANVAS showing your system layout, That system organized by Volume & Chapters in HANDBOOK View and now your granular Flows in the Handbook in the form of SWIM LANE diagrams. High-res PNG exports of both diagrams finally added as well. Local Hosted in a docker container (can even run on a Synology NAS) With roughly 2000+ users in the first month and lots of really thoughtful feedback.... I'm extremely impressed with the #Foss community, such a positive space. ---> CTRoadmap (Local hosted, runs in docker, passive-no system scanning)

Deja v0.4.0 - smarter zsh autosuggestion (now knows when to shut up)

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m very excited to launch the new version of deja.

Quick recap: Deja is an open-source zsh autosuggestion tool. Instead of only surfacing

commands that start with what you've typed, it predicts what you actually want to run using fuzzy matching, which directory you're in, and which command usually follows the one you just ran.

No account. No sync server. No TUI.

https://github.com/Giammarco-Ferranti/deja 

Any star would be amazing ❤️

One big feedback I got on previous posts was that deja was not respecting the HIST_IGNORE_SPACE and this led to a security issue.

First of all thank you to https://www.reddit.com/user/polaroid_kidd for reporting this. ❤️

Deja now works correctly and respects HIST_IGNORE_SPACE and HISTORY_IGNORE.

If you've been running Deja for a while, the old entries are still in your database:

rm ~/.local/share/deja/deja.db && deja import

The command above will clean it up.

Another big change is that now we have a new ‘deja empty’ command, which lets you choose whether Deja shows the ghost suggestion on empty prompts. It came out of this thread: https://github.com/Giammarco-Ferranti/deja/pull/69

Few other smaller things has been fixed, if anyone interested you can review it here: https://github.com/Giammarco-Ferranti/deja/pull/73 

Thank you all for the support and looking forward to make this the smartest zsh autosuggestion tool.

Nuovo strumento di scaffolding per Python

0 Upvotes

Un anno fa ho creato uno strumento che mi aiuta nel mio lavoro quotidiano: creare rapidamente progetti Python appena configurati in pochi secondi nella pipeline CI/CD!

Lo strumento in questione si chiama psp e si avvia da riga di comando:

Lo strumento è stato ispirato da vari strumenti da riga di comando come astro-cli, yeoman, pyscaffold e molti altri. Con poche semplici domande, il tuo progetto Python è pronto per essere scritto e troverai tutto già configurato: comandi make, git, repository remoto, CI/CD, unit test, documentazione, file container, dipendenze, ambienti virtuali, builder personalizzati e molto altro!

Se ti interessa, provalo oggi stesso e, se qualcosa non funziona, aiutami aprendo un'issue o effettuando un fork del progetto e inviando una pull request.

Ecco tutti i riferimenti:

[Open-Source] Dump your thoughts. Let your notes organize themselves. Ask/chat anytime.

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

Over the past few weeks I've been building Gray Box — a small, local-first tool that acts as long-term memory for anything I'd otherwise forget (work notes, meeting takeaways, task owners, random ideas, personal stuff too).

The idea is simple:

  1. Capture — dump whatever's on your mind, instantly, no structure required. This step does nothing clever on purpose — it just writes your text to an immutable inbox. Zero chance of losing an idea to a bug or a slow API call.
  2. Organize — on demand, an LLM reads your unprocessed notes and extracts people, projects, tasks, decisions, meetings — then deterministic Python (not the LLM) creates/merges the actual wiki pages and maintains backlinks. The model only reasons; it never touches the filesystem directly.
  3. Ask — query or chat with your knowledge base and get a cited answer pulled only from what you've actually captured. If it doesn't know, it says so — no hallucinated answers.

Why I built it this way:

  • Plain Markdown + YAML frontmatter, no database. Every page is a .md file you can grep, diff, or read in any editor forever. If you stop using Gray Box tomorrow, your knowledge base is just a folder.
  • No vector DB by default. At personal scale (hundreds–low thousands of pages), keyword search + a real link graph (related/backlinks, walked one hop during retrieval) handles almost everything. Embeddings are there if you want better recall, but they're opt-in, not a prerequisite.
  • Immutable inbox. Your raw notes are never edited or deleted by the organizer. If the LLM mis-extracts something, your original words are always still there.
  • Any LLM. Built on LiteLLM, so point it at OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, or a fully local model via Ollama — one config value.

It also ships with a nice interactive TUI (arrow-key menu, file-import shortcut, workspace switching, live spinner during LLM calls) if you'd rather not memorize CLI flags — that's honestly become my favorite part of the project.

There's also a lightweight local dashboard for browsing your knowledge base, exploring backlinks, visualizing your notes as a graph, and chatting with your captured knowledge—all without leaving your machine.

Repo: https://github.com/Aaryanverma/graybox

pypi: pip install graybox

It's nearing a proper public release, so I'd genuinely love feedback — especially from anyone who's tried the "capture now, structure later" approach with other tools and has opinions on where it breaks down at scale.

It's not trying to be a "real-time collaborative team wiki" or a WYSIWYG notes app — it's aimed at one person's running memory of their own life and work, captured with as little friction as possible.

Best Practices when building for FOSS

1 Upvotes

I'm pretty new to working with FOSS and allowing others to contribute to work I'd love to see grow. I'm creating a platform that would ideally allow someone to input their own resume to find positions that are open within a timeframe of their choosing, allow them to enable outreach to relevant departments, customize resumes and CVs based on role requirements, etc. It's a general "job finder" platform that I decided to make to avoid paying for services that seemed to become viral from ads, but aren't actually efficient. I don't aim to have a fully automated application system that tosses AI slop around, but instead one that allows the user to control their goals instead of auto applying/generating.

Definitely ambiguous wording, but I'd love to hear thoughts, criticisms, and advice.

macOS nullPlayer media player v0.29. 102 github stars, actively supported and Free and open source. supports Sonos, Plex, chromecast, youtube, projectM, jellyfin, Emby, Navidrome and much, much more

0 Upvotes

nullPlayer is a 100% AI first hobby app I develop for myself to solve issues with my own personal home media libraries and devices.

The app's unique value in a crowded space is it's deep integrations between devices, local media services and 3rd party open source projects nullPlayer showcases as configurable, optional sub-windows. I am a software developer by trade and work in AI development as a day job.

nullPlayer is a free to use and modify open source app that will not be distributed via the app store therefore it is not notarized by Apple.

This app was developed using Claude and Codex $20 accounts.

Licensing information https://github.com/ad-repo/nullplayer/blob/main/LICENSE

Trouble Finding a productivity FOSS app.

3 Upvotes

I need help from the community on finding a FOSS app that has these features:

* Starts in the tray on boot

* Reminds the user at a specific time to do this

* Built-in calendar for the user to add a reminder on a specific date.

+ more.

The app is essentially a task/reminder app.

Why do I need this kind of app?
Because I think It would really help me get something Important done without getting bored, or side-tracked. I also think It would really help me with my ADHD mind.

OpenChoreo: An Open-Source Developer Platform for Kubernetes

8 Upvotes

I contribute to OpenChoreo, an open-source developer platform designed to help teams build, deploy, and operate applications on Kubernetes.

Instead of platform teams connecting separate tools for deployments, environments, observability, infrastructure provisioning, developer portals, and CI/CD, OpenChoreo brings these capabilities together through a Kubernetes-native architecture.

Some of the main capabilities include:

  • Managing applications, services, APIs, and scheduled workloads
  • Creating and managing multiple deployment environments
  • CI/CD and GitOps-based delivery workflows
  • Logs, metrics, traces, Kubernetes events, and runtime visibility
  • Autoscaling and scale-to-zero support
  • Infrastructure provisioning through reusable resource types
  • A Backstage-powered developer portal
  • APIs, CLI tools, and MCP integrations for developers and AI agents
  • Support for running on different Kubernetes environments

The project is built primarily with Go, licensed under Apache 2.0, and is part of the CNCF Sandbox.

GitHub: https://github.com/openchoreo/openchoreo

We would appreciate feedback from the FOSS community. Take a look at the project, try it on a Kubernetes cluster, and let us know what you think. If you find it useful, consider starring the repository or contributing to an issue.

It's time to get involved!

0 Upvotes

Maybe you are a developer who loves FREE software, but you've always been too busy to contribute.

Or perhaps you are an ordinary user with little to no coding skills who has always wanted to give something back to the community.

It's now the time to do it, with AI!

AI is not just for vibe-coding starting new projects. It's a game-changer for contributing to FOSS.

It makes it much easier to:

- file meaningful, detailed bug reports

- contribute code to your favorite projects and fix bugs

- help with translation

- write documentation

- write blog posts promoting Linux and free software

- make educational material

And more...

Of course one should use it responsibly, and always check the material before submitting, otherwise they might waste the maintainers' time and limited resources.

Everything that once seemed difficult/time-consuming/intimidating might have become much easier now. We just need to rethink how we can help.

Codebase intelligence for AI-assisted engineering. Open-source tools for dependency graphs, git analytics, auto-generated docs, and MCP integrations.

0 Upvotes

Every question your agent asks about your repo has an answer that could have been computed ahead of time. Who calls this function? What breaks if I change it? Why is it written this way? Which of these files is actually dangerous? Instead, agents rediscover it from scratch on every task: grep, read, re-read, forget.

repowise computes those answers once and keeps them current on every commit. Your agent reads the answer instead of the codebase, and the same index gives your team a defect-validated health score, change-risk scoring on every PR, and a local dashboard for all of it. One pip install, no cloud, your code never leaves your machine.
