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.

I've been recently going through posts/YT videos of some influencers who claim to land on a high paying job by contributing to Open Source projects maintained by the respective firm.

Is this legit? Is there really a chance to land a job using OSS contributions?

If yes, can you list down some really good repos and firms?

I just launched my first open source project which had the ambitious goal of displaying 10,000 photos in one minute.

When I started I wasn't sure if the desktop app would be able to create the experience. The average speed per image to display 10k with 4 on screen at once is ~25ms per image. The local backend is so fast that we can handle up to 100 parallel images on screen.

Would love for you guys to try cloning/running the repo and then experiencing all your photos in a minute!

Hello All, I'm currently working on a SaaS project and I want to see the codebase of other saas to get inspired and find how things are implemented like mapping Idp users with app users, payment, authentication and registration with Idp, self hosted version of saas...

Thanks in advance

Hi r/opensource!

My friend and I released an open source project on this sub about a year ago and it just hit 10K stars, whoohoo! I’ve picked up a lot of tips and inspiration from this sub so I wanted to share my learnings and encourage others to embark on their own open source journey. So here the tips that I found to work the best for getting traction for your project. Here goes!

• Post on Hacker News. It’s insanely valuable if you get a good post off there. The community there is very technical and loves open source. But make sure you ship something good, they will pick apart every back design decision you make.
• Try to get on GitHub Trending whenever you can. I’ve found that, regardless of how many stars your repo gets while on trending, it falls off after a day or two - and it’s a while before the algorithm lets the same repo on trending again. But each time, it brings new waves of people, so try to get back on trending whenever that recency penalty falls off.
• Make the repo easy to digest. Have a clear, concise README and description of what it does so that when people do visit, they immediately know if it’s interesting to them or not. A few visuals will help as well!
• Try to contest tags that are trending and relevant to the project. The project needs to be discoverable to get traction, and this is a very low effort way to boost that.
• This last one is actually the most important: build something people truly want to use. If you can’t find that, then build something cool, people tend to flock to anything AI agent these days.

Anyway, those are the things that worked well for us, this advice is MIT licensed :wink: (I take no responsibility for your outcomes). If you have any feedback, please share and if you have a second, please star our repo!

I'm struggling to find a fully open-source OS for simple feature phones. AOSP requires at least 512 MB of RAM and Gerda, a drop-in replacement for KaiOS, the closest FOSS project I could find, needs 256 MB.

Meanwhile the market of simple feature phones (below 64, usually 16-32 MB RAM) is dominated by 3 operating systems: Nokia's S30+, Nucleus RTOS and ThreadX. I know ThreadX core is open-source (MIT), as well as some libraries, but DEs and applications aren't.

Is there a project of a fully open-source low-spec feature phone operating system?

P.S.: BTW, do you know of a good PC emulator of any feature phone OS?

Hi ! (I'm french sorry for my English)

I have a PC gamer, so I want to stay on windows. But I want most of my software open source. Is it possible? For exemple : antivirus, internet, etc.

Do you have a link ? Or ideas for me ? Thanks !

You have Vim, Emacs, Linux. Everything is hackable, configurable to a fault. You can write extensions, people actually have config files to share.

But this isn't an inherent feature of open source, bit why does it happen so often compared to proprietary software? Is it cultural?

Or am I wrong? Maybe closed-source is just as open?

Is there any Open Source License that restricts the use of the licensed software by AI/LLM?

Scenarios to prevent:

• AI/LLM that directly executes the licensed code
• AI/LLM that consumes the licensed code for training and/or retrieval
• AI/LLM that implements algorithms covered by the license, regardless of implementation

If such licenses exist, what mechanisms are available to enforce them and recover damages by infringing systems?

Edit

Thank you everyone for your answers. Yes, I'm working on a project that I want to prevent it from getting sucked up by AI for both training and usage (it's a semantic code analyzer to help humans visualize and understand their code bases). Based on feedback, it does not appear that I can release the code under a true open source license and have any kind of anti-AI/LLM restrictions.
