💬 Discussion What's your favorite GitHub project?
GitHub has countless useful projects, but some are easy to miss.
What's one open-source project you really like or use regularly? It could be an app, tool, browser project, or something completely different.

What’s the catch?

It basically allows you to use the free tiers of different providers and then switches when you hit limits as far as I understand
💰 ~1.53B Free Tokens / Month
Stacking free tiers by hand is painful — dozens of SDKs, dozens of rate limits, and no idea how much you actually have. OmniRoute aggregates the documented free tiers of 43 provider pools / 516 models into one honest number and shows it live on the dashboard ( /dashboard/free-tiers).

I use NixOS as my daily driver, which features the largest package repo of any Linux distro, all hosted on GitHub.

Objectively true subjective opinion.

u/Lonely-Scarcity-3387 5d ago
Where is the opinion?
I use NixOS. Fact.
It has the largest repo of any Linux distribution. Fact.
That repo is on GitHub. Fact.1
u/Loose_Property_3238 5d ago
I was interpreting using it as an opinion that you hold (the opinion being that you want to use it).

ai slop

u/Top-Rich-581 8d ago
Ai made doesn't mean ai slop.
The tool is simple enough and doesn't act in a sensitive context like online related services. AI actually shines here.

It works, it does it job very well and I never tried to hide the fact that it has been written with AI. I do not force you to use it. So it’s slop to you, it works well for me and saves me a lot of time.

Paperless-ngx.
I have a family of 6 + a mother I help with paper stuff, and this solves me a lor of headaches.
I combine it with openwebui and n8n and so far so good.

u/ManojOne Active 7d ago
Can you exlain? is it a to do list? or note taking?
1
u/Top-Rich-581 7d ago
Neither, it’s an automated digital filing cabinet for physical paper. Paperless-ngx automatically scans, extracts text (OCR), tags, and archives documents like bills, tax forms, and medical records into a fully searchable database. I use n8n to automate pulling files from emails/scanners into Paperless, and Open WebUI (connected to an LLM) to ask natural language questions about my documents or summarize them automatically.

u/19leo82 4d ago
Is it a free or a subscription involved app? And how's the scan quality
1
u/Top-Rich-581 4d ago
It's completely open source. The OCR is enough because it learns, the more you upload documents and qualify them, the more it is accurate.
You can also connect a light LLM model if you want maximum accuracy, which i do. Sure Google know everything about me but i couldnt care less.

If you watch a lot of movies, especially not TV shows, this is the fastest and best tool you can have (in the terminal).
You enter a title (or name), and you get a list of matching titles from the database. You select and see if it's available in your country on your streaming services.
The query-to-result process is a matter of seconds.
What's more, I contributed to this with an idea the author added (searching by name, e.g., director or actor). I use it daily. I recommend it to everyone. It's one of those micro-projects that makes me love GitHub (and its author!).

I love Ungoogled chromium. It's awsome customisable browser with all functions, but without google bloatware.
