Asking for a friend

Update:

Thanks for all the repsonses looks like Open Source is the way to go!

I just used this new AI search engine tool called Devv AI to contribute to an open source project. It can look at the entire repo and tell me what I should do and help me debug. Y'all I feel so empowered I'm gonna grind and get a jobbb

A while ago, my post about why Yaak was NOT open source was posted to this subreddit. The feedback was mostly disagreement, suggesting that my problem with OSS wasn't due to open source but open contribution.

After thinking on it for a few months, I decided this was correct, so Yaak is now open source! ()

Here's a longer-winded version of my reasoning, if you're curious

Well: postman is shit.

I could overcome that's made in Electron and its too much heavy for what it offers.

What grinds my gear is that they tie a lot of functionalities into shared cloud workspaces, and cherry on top they also limit team size if you don't want to pay.

I don't want my fucking collections online, behind a login (and I don't know why, usually it also cancel my session and I have to login again).

I want something that's not enshittificated beyond any recognition.

I want something that works OFFLINE

Something OSS, so it safe from silicon valley venture capitalist aren't able to resist to buy a new fucking yatch each month.

Something that works with a fucking yaml/json/whatever, that can works OFFLINE and file based (do you remember how good is git to versionate things? I remember. It's enough, idiots)

Everything to make simple http calls (yeah, I could use curl, in fact I am, but come on...)

Any "production grade" alternative?

Hey there!

I'm 19 yo, 2 years ago I started building an app that had a vision of helping drivers to find available parking spaces in crowded and busy cities. The idea was to use AI & CCTV cameras to find them.

After a few months the AI model started working on the first parking lots in Poland, and soon I started winning some awards in competitions for young people, in May this year I was sent to Los Angeles to compete in the world's biggest science & technology competition - ISEF Regeneron.

However, it turned out that the reality is completely different, and there's no city willing to cooperate and share access to cameras.

I gave up right after the competition in May, many lessons learned, but it's time to move on to something else.

Today, September 9th, I'd like to share it with everyone by making it open-source.

Github:

If you're interested, I've also written a blog post about the project.

I have been collecting an extensive list of open source projects on and off over the past 6 months. I have browsed and scrolled through a lot of similar "awesome" lists, but a lot of them include stuff that I wouldn't use due to their "development" nature. This means that there are no projects related to development such as frameworks, APIs, and libraries included in this list.

The list includes projects related to different operating systems, modded apps, games, privacy focused apps/tools, and much more. I can guarantee you there is at least one or two projects in this list that you have never heard of but will seem useful to you.

Feel free to check out the list and let me know if there are any gems I might have missed, as well as a better name for the repo because i think the current name kinda sucks.

Homebox v0.14.1 - Released

What is Homebox

Homebox is the inventory and organization system built for the Home User! With a focus on simplicity and ease of use, Homebox is the perfect solution for your home inventory, organization, and management needs. While developing this project, we've tried to keep the following principles in mind:

  • Simple - Homebox is designed to be simple and easy to use. No complicated setup or configuration required. Use either a single docker container or deploy yourself by compiling the binary for your platform of choice.
  • Blazingly Fast - Homebox is written in Go, which makes it extremely fast and requires minimal resources to deploy. In general idle memory usage is less than 50MB for the whole container.
  • Portable - Homebox is designed to be portable and run on anywhere. We use SQLite and an embedded Web UI to make it easy to deploy, use, and backup.

The Update

This update contains many fixes, and small resolutions, but it also contains a HUGE update in terms of making Homebox more accessible to international users. We've finally added i18n support to Homebox, allowing users to use Homebox in their own language. It's still early days, we've translated the majority of the main pages, and we continue working on it.

To use translations, simply open Homebox, it's really that simple, it will use whatever the default language setting your browser is set to use. And fallback to English if your preferred language isn't yet available. If your language isn't yet available, please consider contributing. For those that have already contributed, both those named, and those that don't have your GitHub linked in Weblate (and thus don't appear in commit messages to mention) thank you so much, we couldn't possible translate Homebox into so many languages ourselves. Please note that we are still on a transition phase, and many strings are still hard coded to English. We continue to work on translating the entire application.

Additionally, we purchased the https://homebox.software domain to give Homebox a home of its own on the internet. Which should not only make it more findable for SEO reasons, but also make it easier to remember the link to the documentation/home page. Additionally, we setup some sub-domains to redirect to various sites such as https://git.homebox.software for Github, https://discord.homebox.software to go to our Discord server, etc.

I really like Microsoft Edge's Workspaces, but I like using Google Chrome. So I decided to make an extension that replicates most of the behavior without needing to use Edge.

We love gitbook, but hate the fact the pricing is unpredictable + it's not FOSS :(, so we built something that we could use for our documentation needs. We were big fans of docusaurus and RsPress (like docusaurus but built with rust based tools) but onboarding non-technical people to use it was a pain.

Introducing kalmia! It's free (as in freedom with AGPLv3), it's pretty, it's blazingly fast. If you want to know more details about it you can read about it on our blog or just go straight to the github/docs.

PS: It's a very early stage product so there might be a few bugs/breaking changes!

Hi, everyone.

So, I built an AI automation system that handles all the invoices from Gmail and logs essential attributes in a Google sheet.

My mum runs a small biz and usually gets a lot of Invoices, and manually managing them was getting tiring,

So, I created a Python script to automatically extract emails with invoices and update them in a Google sheet.

Tech stack

  • Composio - for Gmail and Google sheet integration.
  • Nanonet - for extracting data from PDF.
  • CrewAI - Agent orchestartion.
  • React +Vite - for frontend

Workflow Overview

  • First, add a few words that will be used to find potential emails with invoices. Then, create a JSON file or something similar. Also, name the attributes that need to be extracted from Invoices.
  • Next, Set up an event listener to poll emails from Gmail inbox. Fetch the emails that match the keywords.
  • Process the PDF attachments based on the names of the attributes provided using an agent built using GPT-4o and CrewAI.
  • Finally, we extract data points from invoice PDF using Nanonet and update them to a Google sheet using the Google Sheet integration.

It still has rough corners, and I need to figure out how to make it more reliable.

You can check the complete code here: .

Hey everyone, I started making a remake of the Awesome Windows list on GitHub because the original has not been updated for 3 years and the owner shows no interest in maintaining it.

Take a look here, I appreciate every star.

The last post got deleted because the project had "a not open source" license.

I've been working on my own video editing software for 8 months now. A part of that journey has been writing the most robust implementation of what is know as "smartcut", i.e. cutting videos while recoding only small segments around the cutpoints to stitch together a whole video.

Now I've decided to open-source this smartcutting part of the project!

While this is not a new idea, and there are a couple open-source implementations already, I believe mine is the first one to really try to solve the problem for good, and not just treat it as a curiosity to experiment with.

I've also written a test suite that verifies that the implementation is working with various codecs (h264, h265, vp9, av1), container formats (.mp4, .mkv) and audio codecs (mp3, vorbis, opus, aac, flac, wav).

I also made this demo video (with the slightly provocative, but accurate) claim of "6000% faster than FFmpeg":

Hello all!

I made a tool that gives you measurements for making custom boxes from flat cardboard. I made this because I was making boxes for a side job and got tired of manually figuring out the measurements. I figures this may help others that need to make boxes quickly.

Here is the repo, and you can find Windows, Linux, and Android binaries in the releases section.

Please know that this is my first attempt at making a program with a GUI, as well as working with a video game engine. Things may be a bit messy, but it works!

I hope someone might find it useful!

For example: GitLab offers pretty much everything that GitHub does, yet I still see lots of open source projects choose GitHub instead of GitLab. People talk about contributing to open source, but I believe that only if open source projects start supporting other open source projects can the environment truly flourish. Let me know what you guys think, and maybe I'm missing something here?

Btw, it’s not just about GitLab vs. GitHub; it also includes all OSS products we use.

It's one such common example, but I'm sure there are a lot of other things where OSS founders/companies use non-oss products.
