Ask Lemmy: What open source projects are you working on lately?

Show us your half baked, not really ready for prime time projects.

Or just whatever open source stuff you've been contributing to lately!

For me, it's https://openlibrary.org I've been working on having author pages populated with data from wikidata. Also a few other small things with documentation and small UI bugs :)

  • I thought it would be a good idea to create a port of Paperless-NGX to FreeBSD.

    I mean, I have experience installing it for myself and saw that there is documentation on how to port stuff, making it available for all FreeBSD users. How hard could it be?

    Well, I think I'll get it running today, then it'll be time to test all its features. Then convert my own setup to use the port and find all its bugs firsthand. Good times.

  • I'm currently contributing to osm and reverse enginnering the Sound Blaster Command for my Sound BlasterX G6 to make a Command Software for linux, currently in early stage but first I need to understand more about the protocol.

  • Just ordered the PCBs for my second, custom layout split keyboard, the triboard. I'm also working on a service status watcher + page called swec. It will eventually be able to notify you through gotify whenever your services are down, and maybe even redirect clients to the status page. Some other features include custom downtime messages.

  • Been working on a personal project to display my Spotify playing info onto a LED matrix display (with lots of visual goodies) and allow for physical buttons to control playback, lookup the artist on Wikipedia, open their bandcamp profile, and eventually to find what songs they do not have on Spotify.

    It's still in its infancy but it's allowing me to work on blending software, hardware, and design all together in a fun, interactive way.

    I don't have a TV in my living room but listen to music 24/7 and my wife would like a way to see what weird shit we're listening to.

  • Discreetly https://github.com/discreetly/

    It's a federated anonymous chat system.

    In alpha now. We will be pushing some big updates over the next few weeks.

    We broke a bunch of endpoints last night but it should be back up by the end of the week. If you want to try it out DM me for an invite code.

    • Harsh rules, getting permabanned for too many messages. What if there is a bug in the app or someone's phone causes it to happen somehow?

  • I'm working on !boinc@sopuli.xyz and !gridcoin@lemmy.ml . BOINC is a tool used by scientists to distribute computational workloads to the computers of volunteers, Gridcoin is a cryptocurrency which issues rewards for people who use BOINC (like mining crypto but for science instead of hashes). I'm not a direct dev on either project, but I code tools which make those projects easier to use, write documentation, etc.
