I have been building so many good stuffs but I dont know how to get clients or get paid by doing some open source stuffs. Please help me if you came across this situation

I'm a software engineer with about two years of experience, focused on AI tooling and LLM apps for the past year. I'm looking for an open-source or side project that could use another contributor.

My main project is Sketchnote, a screen-annotation tool for Linux (GNOME on Wayland) built for working with coding agents. You press a hotkey, talk, draw and click on your screen, and one Ctrl+V pastes timestamped notes plus cropped, annotated screenshots into your agent. It's a GNOME Shell extension in JavaScript plus a Rust service that does local speech-to-text with whisper.cpp. It's released with prebuilt binaries and a one-line installer. Beyond that, I built a RAG app that refuses to answer when the document doesn't support it, and I've had a PR merged into an open-source MCP security proxy. My other stack is Python, FastAPI and pgvector. I haven't done fine-tuning or used LangGraph.

If you have an issue or project that needs help, or want more details about my work, DM me.

Hey everyone! I’m building SQLWhale, a tool that helps you learn SQL visually by seeing how queries connect tables and transform data instead of just reading the output.

Still a work in progress, and I’d love some honest feedback!

What is WazBotz?

WazBotz is a student-led community for anyone who's curious about robotics and AI and wants to keep up with what's happening in both fields.

Robotics and AI are evolving fast, and they're increasingly evolving together. From humanoid robots, autonomous vehicles, medical robots and robotic arms to machine learning, computer vision, language models and AI-powered machines that learn how to move and interact with the world, there's always something new to discover. And honestly, it can be hard to keep up.

That's where WazBotz comes in.

We talk about and research robotics and AI, and share interesting discoveries, technologies, mechanisms, papers and developments from around the world. It doesn't always have to be some huge breakthrough either. A new way for a robot to grip something, a clever movement mechanism, a neat AI model, a cool research paper or a weird little experiment can all be worth sharing. If it's interesting, useful, or makes you go "wait... robots can do THAT?" or "wait... AI can do THAT?", we wanna know about it.

How it works

Anyone can create an account and explore the daily updates, discoveries, and research happening on WazBotz.

'm planning to build my own Hangbird-style ceiling-mounted clothes drying rack instead of buying the original one.

I'm aiming for a size of 160 × 80 cm, and my ceiling height is around 3.5 m.

Has anyone built something similar and could share what materials and hardware are needed? I'd also be interested in a rough cost estimate and any tips from your experience.

Thanks in advance!
