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 :)

Haven't told this to anyone yet, but you did say "half baked"!

Similar to the idea behind k9s, I've been building a rust-based TUI to manage all your standard Servarrs. I'm calling it Managarr.

I've been working on it since January and I'm almost done with just the Radarr support, allowing you to add/edit/remove movies, indexers, collections, root folders, etc, view logs, tasks, updates, things like that. And you can view specific movie info and do manual searches, trigger searches, add/remove tags, etc.

The only big things left are

  • Finishing the UI for editing indexers and adding them (to support use cases without Prowlarr)
  • Support modifying quality definitions
  • Add sorting functionalities to the library and collections tables
  • Building mock servers for Transmission and Nzbget so I can create a docker container for users to test and play with before they install anything.

Here's a few screenshots:

Once I'm back to not being constantly busy with work, I'm hoping to push this thing across the finish line and get it into alpha and implement all the usual stuff like license, contribution guidelines, CI/CD, release pipelines, adding it to the standard package managers, etc.

Got a repository link I can follow!?

[-] aclarke@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I just made the repo public! So here's a link to the Managarr repo, and here's a link to my personal Wekan board to track my progress towards the alpha-release goal.

Good luck with this, hope you can finish it. Looks really cool.

[-] aclarke@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Wow! I wasn't expecting such a positive response! Thank you so much!

I hadn't made the repo public yet because I'm still working towards getting the project into a state that I would consider fully ready for contributions. This means things like CI/CD, contribution guidelines, release pipelines, better developer experience through all of this automation, etc.

But given the overwhelming response to, I guess, the initial "announcement" that it even exists, I don't see any reason why to not just make the project public while I work towards that alpha release goal.

So here's a link to the Managarr repo, and here's a link to my personal Wekan board to track my progress towards the alpha release goal, where I'll consider the project fully ready for contributions.

Lemmy itself! Can't say what because I'll doxx myself since I'm doing the fixes under my IRL name but yeah it's nice contributing.

[-] hollyberries@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 year ago

I'm working on too many at once, mainly because I have too many things I need to finish. My goal is a 100% rust stack.

Right now my bigger project is a soft fork of rgit to add some features that I personally want that are outside of the scope of the original. The task at the moment is connecting to git http-backend to serve clones via HTTPS. My goal for that project is ala-carte feature patches that anyone can cherry pick and build their own.

I havent pushed my changes yet, too unstable.

https://git.holly.sh is everything I have that I have cleaned up and am willing to share. That also runs the working copy of sparkle-git.

I'm working on a fun personal project to replace insomnia/postman. I am adding pre-request and post-request scripts, open API/swagger support, and NO logins.

[-] jelloeater85@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago
[-] Fisherswamp@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Sure. Since it is just a personal project, it isn't really ready to be released into the open source world, and it is still WIP. So I will pm you the link

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've been working on my economy overview website Keizai for the past 2-3 months. And started to develop the new version of my weather service Serenum few weeks ago. Only the landing page are done for now.

Keizai are basically all done. Just some tweaks and improvements here and there left to do. Also planning some new features.

The current version of Serenum works, but it is slow. The new version will be faster since the new API will cache the data. And instead of OpenWeatherMap (that logs "a lot" of data upon API request), the new version of Serenum API will use met.no (weather API from Norway with zero (0) logging).

I'm working on a clipboard manager for kde, the existing ones does not satisfy me

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.

[-] stifle867@programming.dev 8 points 1 year ago

I've been working on a fun little project, similar to the watch party website, where you can enter a YouTube link and have it synchronised so you can watch and chat with a friend. Very basic functionality at the moment, and I'm hoping to add more functionality over time.

[-] kglitch@kglitch.social 7 points 1 year ago

I'm building a Lemmy/Kbin clone, using Python (Flask framework). I'm about 3 months in so the basics are there but it's definitely still half-baked..

If this sounds like something you'd like to contribute to, pop your email address into this form https://rimu.geek.nz/piefed-comms/?p=subscribe and I'll keep you in the loop!

[-] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

That sounds awesome. What license will it be under? I think the world really needs a Lemmy implementation under a more permissive license than the AGPL.

[-] kglitch@kglitch.social 5 points 1 year ago

My first instinct is to go for AGPL but the whole licensing debate isn't something I've ever really engaged with so I'm not really making an informed decision about that.

What's the advantages of a more permissive license?

[-] testEmailVerified@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Basically, Corpos can use/copy your code launch TruthSocialv2 and not have to share their changes/contributions.

[-] kglitch@kglitch.social 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That wouldn't be cool. At all.

I'd prefer to go in the other direction (i.e. away from permissive) and add a 'no fascists or tankies or genocide' clause to AGPL, actually. ChatGPT assures me that would be bad and possibly illegal (?!) tho, so I might just end up putting stuff in the code of conduct which achieves the same ends.

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Fuck corps.

[-] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de -1 points 1 year ago

I think frankly the AGPL shouldn't even be considered a free license. Merely running the program, even modified, shouldn't require you to publish the source code you run on your machine without distributing it.

In terms of practical advantages, a more permissive license will boost fediverse adoption by businesses, which I think is desirable.

[-] testEmailVerified@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

You only need to publish your changes to your users, if you are the only the user you don't have to publish anything.

Not sure if adoption by businesses is really wanted? Unless their goal is aligned with our cause but from profit seeking perspective I don't see how. But you are welcome to change my mind.

[-] 257m@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Fediverse adoption from corporations is the exact opposite of ideal. If that were to happen the fediverse would enshittified just as much as sites like reddit are today.

[-] jelloeater85@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Very cool. Do you have a link?

[-] kglitch@kglitch.social 2 points 1 year ago

I will very soon. For now, I'm collecting email addresses - https://rimu.geek.nz/piefed-comms/?p=subscribe

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.

[-] atlasraven31@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Playing around with an Odroid. Retro gaming / media server.

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 6 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the thread. It gave me motivation to push https://github.com/bjoern-tantau/diarrhea4 to Github. My idea of a game with the name "Diarrhea 4".

[-] tarneo@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] snowraven@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

I have never contributed directly to open source, perhaps because I have never felt truly confident about my programming skills. But I have always done all that I can - starring repos I like, helping beginners with linux related issues, contributing to discussions in forums, promoting foss in a friendly way wherever I can and leaving feedback and reports wherever I can.

I guess it's something Yet I find my mind wandering sometimes If I am contributing enough.

[-] AtHeartEngineer@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 1 points 1 year ago

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?

[-] Nulubez@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Inspiring posts here. I toss a minor fix here and there. Amazing to see what yall are up to.

[-] makeasnek@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] hubobes@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Tiny tool to run docker images and create new images from running containers. Mostly because at work we started to provide all the databases we use as docker images (some with full application configurations) and I needed a way to run various database versions and create snapshots to reproduce bugs etc.
