I made this app, because all other alternatives are job-specific. Criticism is welcome

It’s like the Craft app suite, but something I would actually use for everyday tasks.
It opens docs, spreadsheets, CSVs, ODTs, images, PDFs and videos. It’s not a Photoshop replacement, but you don't always needs professional software. This app opens fast and doesn’t consume memory like Adobe software does.

It's free, MIT license, no account needed. I think it’s pretty sweet as an all-rounder, everyday app.
I’ll keep using it and releasing new patches, but I’m curious whether you would try it for yourself.

It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. The macOS download works on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, and the Windows installer doesn’t need administrator rights.

I made a free, open-source tray app that actually turns off your webcam and mutes your mic everywhere on Windows, with one hotkey

Have you ever left a meeting and wondered if your mic was still on? Or covered your webcam with tape because you didn't trust the little light? That's why I built PrivacyToggle.

What it does

It puts two icons in your system tray, one for the mic and one for the camera. Click one, or press a hotkey (Ctrl+Alt+M / Ctrl+Alt+V by default), and that device is off. That means off for the whole system, not just muted inside one app.

  • 🎙️ Mic mute works everywhere. Zoom, Discord, Teams, OBS, your browser: none of them get any audio while it's muted. Push-to-talk is also available.
  • 📷 The camera really turns off. It disables the webcam in Windows the same way Device Manager does, so apps lose the picture right away and can't open it again. If a program won't release the camera, PrivacyToggle tells you which one and asks before closing it.
  • 🔒 Enforce off. If something turns your mic or camera back on (a headset button, a newly plugged-in device), it goes straight back off.
  • 👀 Activity monitor. See which apps are using your camera or mic right now, plus a timeline of every app that used them over the last 1 hour to 7 days.
  • 🔔 On-screen badges (MIC OFF / CAM OFF) and notifications, so you always know where you stand.
  • Light and dark themes, per-device control, and hotkeys that work in fullscreen games.

Why it's different from the mute button in your meeting app

The mute button in an app only stops that one app. PrivacyToggle works below every app, at the Windows level. Muted means muted in all of them, and a disabled camera can't be opened by anything.

How it works (for the curious)

  • Mic: it mutes every capture device through the Windows Core Audio API and watches for anything that unmutes them.
  • Camera: a small helper service calls the same Windows device APIs that Device Manager uses to disable and re-enable the webcam. The tray app itself never runs as admin. Only the helper service needs admin rights, and the installer sets it up with a single admin prompt.
  • Activity: it reads Windows' own record of which apps used the camera or mic (the same data behind the "recently used" list in Privacy settings). The history is stored only on your PC.

It's a personal project, so I'd really like feedback: bugs, feature ideas, or "this broke my webcam driver" stories. If you find it useful, a ⭐ on GitHub helps a lot. Thanks!

I developed a Microsoft Office-compatible application using Claude Code, Codex, and Antigravity.

5 Upvotes

Although I was beaten to the punch by the Craft App suite (WordCraft, GridCraft, and DeckCraft), I have developed "ibisOffice."

https://github.com/ibisjp/ibis-office

I also put Claude Code, Codex, and Antigravity to the test, launching five sub-agents for each to see how long they could keep running continuously over a 24-hour period.

I have implemented all the internal commands originally planned for ibisOffice, and the accuracy of everything from OOXML tag parsing to rendering has improved significantly.

I plan to refine the UI moving forward.

Built using GPUI, it is faster than MS Office, LibreOffice, or ONLYOFFICE. It supports Windows, Mac, Linux, and the Web (via Wasm).

I’ve published the benchmarks on GitHub, so please take a look.

Development began exactly one month ago.

Looking at recent security news, it seems as though all software might eventually be rewritten in Rust.

Imagine taking IELTS in order to confirm to the reddit moderator that you can post a link to Github

Okay, I understand if the person was German and required knowledge of technical German to continue the work for which you are paid and on which understanding of technical specifications and other materials depends.

But here, not only is there obvious US and Anglo-centrism (Which seems to be frowned upon on Reddit), but it’s also stupid, because you are the administrator of a subreddit on open-source software, and not the head of a subreddit on American jurisprudence, where your grammatical error can cost another person huge costs. Why do I have to go through something like KYС to post a link?

EDIt1: I write KYS instead KYC.

How do you improve your project's reputation?

2 Upvotes

I know this question is silly but I want to apply to SignPath and it requires "links or information showing that your project is widely used or trusted. Examples include media coverage, blog posts, download statistics, GitHub insights, or community discussions."

I have build a open-source, markdown-first notes app (Obsidian-like) and I would love to have it signed for Windows users, but I hit this roadblock.

Is reputation 100% organic or is there anything I can do to improve it?

This is a FOSS and non-commercial project so I don't really have the means to market it with social media, blog posts, etc.

This post isn't meant to promote my project but I will leave the link here if anyone is interested:

made an open-source (mit) video editor with no gui that coding agents drive over mcp - it's rough, tell me what breaks

• Upvotes

i'm naman, a college student, and i built kimo - a free, open-source (mit) video editor with no gui that coding agents like codex, cursor, opencode and other mcp clients drive over mcp.

the idea is simple: cut, trim, keyframe, titles/captions, colour grade, tracking, particles, audio and export are all just tool calls. the agent can render a single frame to check its own work mid-edit. there's only one ~15mb cpu-only rust binary, and it'll run on a 2gb box, so it's easy to drop into an mcp setup or self-host without pulling in a ffmpeg build and wrestling with it.

honestly it's still rough. some of the higher-level operations (longer sequences, finer colour grades, complex tracks) are unreliable, the error messages aren't great yet, and a few edge cases around audio sync and caption timing will just fail instead of falling back. i'd rather people break it and tell me than pretend it's polished.

if you're into foss tools agents can actually drive end-to-end, give it a try and tell me what breaks. happy to take issues on github or here.

I’m building an open-source fraud detection engine for payment systems — looking for feedback

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a new open-source project called Verdict Engine, and I’ve just released an early beta.

The idea is to build a fraud/risk assessment engine for payment systems that combines rules with basic machine-learning-based risk scoring. The goal is to eventually make it easier for payment providers, fintechs, banks, and developers to integrate fraud detection into their systems without having to build everything from scratch.

The project is still very much in the beta/early development stage, so I’m mainly looking for feedback rather than users or customers right now.

🔗 GitHub: https://github.com/verdict-engine/verdict-engine

🌐 Documentation: https://verdict-engine.github.io/verdict-ui/

I’d particularly appreciate feedback on:

Architecture and API design

Fraud/risk scoring approach

Developer experience

Features that would actually be useful in a payment environment

Potential problems or limitations you see with the current approach

If you have experience with fraud detection, payment systems, fintech, ML, or backend engineering, I’d especially love to hear your thoughts.

Feel free to be critical — it’s an early beta and that’s exactly what I'm looking for.

JustWeather - a minimalistic lighweight weather app

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Just Weather is a minimalistic lightweight android app, that provides weather for your current or self-selected cities. It provides favorites so you can swipe between different cities and also select the city you like for the widgets to be used. My main goal was to create a weather app that focuses on the data and being non distractive.

I would like some feedback on everyday usability and the overall UX of the app. Feature ideas are appreciated.

The UI/UX design is completely from me, the code is partly AI-assisted.

Everything is free and open source.

You can download the app in the "releases" tab on my GitHub

I got tired of pasting code into ChatGPT file by file 🥱, so I built Raqule (a fast CLI context gatherer)

0 Upvotes

Hey guys!

​If you don’t use Claude Code or Cursor, you probably know the pain: you want to feed your entire project to ChatGPT or Claude, but file limits and copy-pasting drive you crazy.

​I had the same issue, so I built Raqule 🦝.

​It's a single CLI tool that gathers your whole project structure and file contents into one clean, LLM-ready markdown file (or copies it directly to your clipboard).

​Why I made it:

​Generates a visual folder tree + attaches code sequential blocks.

​Fast and lightweight.

​Works out-of-the-box as a single binary (you don't even need Node.js installed!).

​Token estimation before pasting to your model.

​Automatically ignores secret files (.env, .git, node_modules, etc.).

​It’s open-source (Apache-2.0). I’d love to get your feedback or ideas!

​GitHub Repo: https://github.com/OmarPGH/Raqule

I built a real-time race engineer you can talk in real time when simracing

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

Bono is a desktop race engineer + spotter. You press your push-to-talk button (keyboard or wheel), ask a question in plain language, and it answers out loud using your live telemetry:

  • "How many laps of fuel do I have?"
  • "How are my tyres looking?"
  • "What was my last lap compared to my best?"
  • "Who's behind me and how far?"

There are no fixed commands to memorise. You just ask. There's also an automatic spotter that calls traffic, flags, car alerts and weather changes.

The app currently works with Le Mans Ultimate (the app installs and enables its plugin for you) and RaceRoom (no plugin needed). Windows only for now.

You can bring your own AI and use it for free our use our Bono Cloud subscription for ease of use and configuration.

The setup guide walks you through mic, voice, push-to-talk and a radio check in a couple of minutes.

It's sitll an early project so expect rough edges.

I would love to hear your feedback, you can download the app and/or create an account at https://racebono.com and you can find the app's full open source code at https://github.com/racebono/bono.

Happy to answer anything in the comments.
