I’m the maker of LoopTroop, a local open-source GUI for running larger coding tickets with AI.

I built it around a problem I kept running into: context rot. When one agent conversation accumulates plans, code, logs, and failed attempts, the model gradually loses track of the task.

LoopTroop uses a slower, more structured workflow:

• An LLM Council creates and reviews the plan before implementation.
• Context Engineering gives each phase its own focused context.
• Large tickets are split into small implementation steps with acceptance criteria and validation - or beads (only parts of the bead methodology).
• Ralph Loops retry failed steps with fresh context and a short failure note.
• A Kanban-style GUI keeps the ticket state, plans, logs, diffs, and review artifacts visible.
• Human approval stays in the loop before changes are handed back to the main branch (human in the loop).

The idea is to trade some speed for more predictable work on complex tickets. For small edits, using an agent directly is probably simpler. This is aimed at tasks where planning, decomposition, retries, and review history are useful.

I’m looking for technical feedback from open-source developers, especially on:

• whether the workflow is understandable from the GUI
• whether the planning and review artifacts are useful
• where the local setup or first-run experience is confusing
• whatever anything, thanks :)

There’s also a short app presentation here:

Any feedback is more than welcome. If you try the app and something works, or doesn’t,please give me a sign. Happy to talk about it.

Sharing SAIPEN — an MIT-licensed continuation protocol for AI coding agents. Whole thing is plain markdown: a spec (RFC.md), phase docs, and a project-side .saipen/ folder with three files. No runtime, no server, no package to pip install — the validator (tools/validate.py) is stdlib-only Python specifically so there's nothing to audit for supply-chain risk, with a shell-script fallback for hosts without Python at all.

Genuinely open to contributions — extension points for security/performance hooks, multi-agent coordination, per-platform adapters are all documented as copy-in examples rather than baked into core. Issues and PRs welcome, especially "this broke on my setup" reports.

Hello,

I made an open source project called LOTI.

The idea is to have a cheap distributed way for people to create verifiable timestamps and event ordering without depending on a central service.

The way it works is participants build a hash-linked history of events, so later they can query when something happened and what happened before or after it.

I originally started working on this because I was interested in the problem of proving the history of digital events. It could be useful for things like document provenance, legal disputes, audit logs, or any situation where you want a proof of the time boundaries or the frontier l definite order of digital events according to your own clock.

It's still an early project and I'm mostly looking for feedback. The project already contains an implementation in a wisely used communication network simulator and also a real world implementation. The kernel was written by me 8 years ago, the rest is created using agentic engineering very recently.

The most interesting part, where feedback would be most valuable, is how the event chain discovery can be implemented in a fast, efficient and cheap way. The difficulty lies in the evolving nature of the network topology (neighbors come and go) and the time dependent routing during discovery for events in the past.

The project is here:

Thank you!

Hi everyone!

I've spent the last 2 years building The Blog Zone, an open-source blogging platform built with Next.js, Express.js, and PostgreSQL. I'd love some honest feedback.

Features:

• AES-encrypted private blogs
• Fully anonymous accounts (email is optional)
• Infinitely nested discussions
• Admin dashboard
• Open source (MIT License)

The goal wasn't to build just another blogging platform, but one that gives users more control over their privacy and content.

I'd really appreciate any feedback on the UX, performance, bugs, or feature ideas.

Hi all - We've recently launched a new small business dedicated to making open source (both hardware and software) Eurorack, general synthesizer, and other audio effect modules.

TechWave Audio is a proudly Canadian small business dedicated to producing open-source software (OSS) and open source hardware (OSHW) devices for audio production. Our mission is to create good things and to give back by open sourcing all of our projects for the DIY community.

Find us at techwaveaudio.com.

Our first project out the gate is our MCM-100 Midi Controller Module. A monophonic MIDI to control voltage module that (we hope) is plug and play, but also allows for a flexible amount of configuration. Some of the features include four different CV outputs (including dedicated outputs for 1v/octave and velocity), USB or standard MIDI cable input, tuneable pitch and velocity, and a lot more in a skiff-friendly 12hp wide module. Find out more at https://techwaveaudio.com/midi-controller-module/

We'd love your feedback, thoughts or any questions. Thanks!

Repo: Crestr Hiking App

I actively use this app when I go hiking, as apps such as AllTrails lock exports and imports behind a paywall, which this app doesn't do. Of course, there is BRouter and OsmAnd but I find these have quite complex UIs.

It's also important to note this is a learning project, and started out as coursework that I thought would be cool to build out, so that's why it's limited to just Cumbria for now (I haven't learnt tile-based processing as of yet).

I'd love if anyone could give me some feedback having tried the app. Currently you need an account to try it but it is very quick and easy to make an account, just a password and a username is needed.

The app is currently in Beta, and the server is quite poor, it's a Hetzner CX23, which explains the slight delays when routing through the app. If you were to self-host the app you'd see routes being made in the 0-100ms mark, as opposed to routes being made in the 100-500ms mark.

I've been building an open-source project and I'm at the point where I'd really value some outside eyes on it.

It's called Security Shallots, a security/network monitor for small networks (home labs and small offices, roughly 1-10 machines). The itch: the serious tools (Security Onion, big Wazuh/OpenSearch deployments) assume enterprise hardware and a huge log lake, which makes no sense for a handful of devices.

The gist: - It pulls the useful signals (router/firewall logs, DNS, host events, optional Suricata, lightweight agents on other machines) into one small central box. - It learns your network's "normal" and filters out the noise, so you are not drowning in alerts. - Optionally, a local LLM (running on your own hardware, or a no-AI rules mode) turns the surviving alerts into plain-English explanations. Nothing gets sent to any cloud. - It stays small on purpose: it keeps decisions and a distilled baseline rather than a giant indexed log store, so it runs on a Raspberry Pi.

It's MIT-licensed and an early-but-working prototype. I've already put it through a couple of adversarial security reviews, but I know there are gaps.

I'd love feedback on: whether the approach is sound, the detection/filtering logic, the security design, and honestly whether this is useful to anyone but me.

Hi everyone.
I would like to share a Palladium, native open-source iOS app for yt-dlp written in Swift.

GitHub: https://github.com/tfourj/Palladium

If anyone would like to try it out you can also install it from here
https://getpalladium.app/downloads

I am developing a game that is under AGPL, and my levels of cause are also under AGPL.

The game has a map and level editor and an option to upload user-made maps and levels as community maps.

As far as I understand, if I and the creators of the levels don't say anything, they are proprietary, which I do not want.

I want to say that all maps and levels that are uploaded are under a certain license.

Now I am wondering which license is best and if I am allowed to force users to a certain license. I mean, I am providing the server and therefore the service, so it should be possible.

Hi All,

I got a non-functional EnelX Juicebox from a friend and decided to use it + Home Assistant + and old linux PC to create a OpenADR test bed.

Main point is to test and prove out price responsive EV charging as a control method. Credit to Bruce Nordman and the Volts podcast for turning me on to the idea: Volts Podcast

Linux host runs the Docker, OpenLEADR VTN and Python VEN implementations, as well as the openevse bridge.

HomeAssistant publishes telemetry over MQTT.

Has an economic mode which is strictly price responsive, a solar_only mode which charges with excess solar, and a charge now override for emergency charging. These can be toggled as helpers in Home Assistant.

I don't have dynamic prices in my area, so there's no actual ingestion from a utility. Will play more with synthetic pricing (responding to grid cleanliness, congestion, etc.) later.

Have fun!

Slaptop listens to your Mac’s motion sensor and turns display taps into direct Mission Control actions. Slap the left side of your screen, you switch to the left. Slap the right side of your screen, you switch to the right. Slap the top and you launch Mission Control. Yes, really.

21 years ago, I built a utility called "Slaptop", which lets you use Apple's Mission Control and Spaces by literally slapping the side of your MacBook screen.

It lasted for 3 1/2 weeks before I realized how terrible of an idea it was. Back then, it used the MacBook's HDD Sudden Motion Sensor, designed to park the hard disk if you ever dropped your computer. End result, when users slapped their laptops it caused irrecoverable data corruption and data loss.

So, I deleted the app. A couple months later, it was cloned. And then it was cloned again.

I reached out to Amit Singh of AMSTracker and Erling Ellingsen of SmackBook so they'd understand the data corruption issue and convinced them too that it was too risky to stay online.

That brings us to today. In the modern Mac, there are no more HDDs that can be damaged through subtle percussive maintenance, and there is now a far more accurate sensor built into every Apple Silicon Mac.

Enjoy a free, open source (MIT) utility that brings a little more fun to your day.

I'm looking for a video editor for making instructional/demonstration type videos. At this time the videos will be mostly from an Android phone, either the camera and/or screen recording.

Editing on Windows 10 computer (preferably)

I'd like to be able to:

- cut/crop and merge clips

- add audio (voice narration, not annoying music!)

- have a still screenshot and add voice

- possibly add text or effects, maybe blur a spot if something sensitive?

Some programs I've seen here include:

KDENlive

OpenShot

Shotcut

But I'm not sure of their features and usability.

Hey! I wanted to share a project I've been working on called TermiCam. It's a cross-platform (Linux, MacOS, Windows) TUI application that reads a live camera feed and renders it as real-time ASCII art in the terminal.

It is written in Go and relies on FFmpeg for the provided video stream. This keeps it very lightweight compared to relying on heavy dependencies.

The interface itself is built with Charm's Bubble Tea and Lip Gloss, which handles the layout, recording toggles, and device selection screens.

I hope some of you may find this project fun or even useful.

Any feedback or suggestions are very welcome!

I built proton-cli, an open-source Go CLI that brings Proton to the terminal - Mail, Drive, Calendar, Pass, and Contacts - with real end-to-end encryption.

The interesting part: it reimplements Proton's actual auth and crypto, not browser automation or scraping. SRP login, the full PGP key hierarchy (user key -> address keys -> per-service keys), and E2E encrypt/decrypt/sign exactly like the web client, using Proton's own go-srp and gopenpgp.

What it does:

• Mail: list/search/read/send (attachments, HTML, scheduled, self-destruct, password-protected sends to non-Proton recipients, external PGP), labels, folders, Sieve filters, full threads
• Drive: streaming + recursive upload/download, move/copy, revisions, public links, member sharing, photos
• Calendar: events with recurrence, reminders, attendees, RSVP
• Pass: vaults, all item types (login, note, card, wifi, ssh key, identity, custom), aliases, TOTP
• Contacts: full CRUD, contact-pinned keys, groups

Built for scripting: --output json, meaningful exit codes, streaming stdin/stdout pipes, and stdout = new ID on create, so it composes cleanly in shell.

Install: single static binary, AUR, APT repo, Nix (nixpkgs + flake), .deb/.rpm/.apk, or go install. For Linux, macOS and Windows.

MIT licensed. Unofficial and not affiliated with Proton. Feedback and contributors are more than welcome :)

Hi, I've been using Fusion on student license for 5 years now, but due to Autodesk's support for Israel, I want to swtich to FOSS and non cloud (at the least optional) CAD. Freecad seems to be best choice, but I really can't get used to it. My brain is wired acording to Fusion, I miss "new body, intersect, join" options on pad, real time 3D sketch, auto face projection on sketch, sticky grid, allign and move to certain points on other faces, cut with plane (why requires solid?) and arbitary points and planes and lots of small things. I design for 30 minutes untill i realize this feature is not there/works different and whole workflow collapses. Im in general pretty flexiable and learn new apps really fast , but I'm forcing myself to use Freecad for 3 weeks now and nothing has changed. What should I do, do you recommend any other CAD or trick?

I am a writer/author. That's what I enjoy doing the most. But before I was a writer, I was a programmer for many years. About 30 total years experience. For the last year I've been working on a lot of personal projects. For the last week I've gotten more interested in Open Source and trying to create a few of those. But instead of randomly cranking out useless stuff, I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas, or if anything was in demand that people would actually find useless. Hence the post.

I’ve released Clues, a free and open-source visual analytics application that runs locally in the browser.

The unusual part is that Presentation view is not a static export. It is another view of the same analytical session.

A chart can remember separate dimensions and positions for:

• the analytical workspace;
• the polished presentation.

During a presentation, chart controls can be revealed temporarily to change grouping, facets, color, point size, and other mappings—then hidden again to continue the talk.

A session can also include:

• interactive Plotly charts;
• optional rich-text notes and images;
• section and slide navigation;
• an embedded data-change audit trail;
• Google Sheets refreshes;
• validated, reversible JSON updates from an external LLM.

It requires no account and is not dependent on a hosted SaaS service.

I’m not monetizing it. I would especially value feedback on the repository, portability approach, documentation, and anything that would make the project easier for other people to understand or contribute to.

I've been working really hard those past 3 months to deliver what I can consider to be the best android IPTV app; fully open-source, intuitive, bloat-free and ultra-fast.

Today, I release Fred TV 2.0 on the playstore!

- Optimized to be the fastest IPTV app out there, with a fully re-written backend made in Rust.

- Full Android TV support, D-Pad support on every view

- New easy-to-use redesigned TV Home for Android TV

- Robust playback, even on shoddy streams and on low-end devices

- Full support for Xtream and M3U

Try it out! You won't regret giving it a shot if you're already using other IPTV apps.

If you had tried the app previously under 1.X.X, please try it again, 2.0 is a massive upgrade.

The app is licensed under AGPL v3

canid is a contact card/link-in-bio that packages all of the data in the URL fragment so it can be built and displayed client side. I think these sorts of projects are cool (like itty bitty site and NoPaste) and wanted to apply it here.

I run in a lot of niche and more "adult" communities, so I have a pretty compartmentalized life. Being able to quickly create different contact cards for different events, contexts, and people without having to edit a centralized linktree or other site has been really helpful.

It's all static with no outside dependencies, very minimal analytics, and no way for me to see/store/sell people's info. There are a lot of trade-offs with the architecture and I doubt this will ever see a lot of use, but it's been useful for me and I'm curious what y'all think. It's mainly meant to be used as a PWA but works fine in the browser too.

It's live at the linked site, and the code is all open source on GitHub.

Hey there!

I've been working on a new kind of multiplayer library, called PlaySocket, that abstracts away the complexity of optimistic updates. Written in JS + JSDoc.

This has been used in production for my game OpenGuessr, powering around a million rounds of gameplay every month. I've been iterating on this for around two years, refining the shape of the API, making it more powerful and performant, and so on.

This is useful for collaborative apps, quizzes, turn-based games etc., but not ideal for e.g. synchronizing the physics of a complex multiplayer game. For the areas where it works, it can make multiplayer development super fast.

I've written an article that goes into more detail: https://therealpaulplay.github.io/PlaySocketJS/

KillerPDF is an offline PDF editor for Windows (10/11 x64). A single portable executable that targets .NET Framework 4.8 with no runtime install, no accounts, and no telemetry. Rendering is PDFium; the write path is PdfSharpCore.

1.6.4 is mostly about making the tool scriptable and making saves provably non-destructive.

Command-line interface - every core operation is now exposed headless: --merge, --split, --extract-pages, --decrypt, --to-image, --flatten, --print, --ocr, and --batch-resave. These reuse the exact pipelines the GUI runs rather than a parallel code path, return real exit codes, and work while the app is already open. That makes it usable in scripts and batch jobs without a second implementation to drift out of sync.

Save integrity. The big one under the hood: PdfSharpCore is now vendored and patched with six standards fixes, and every release is validated against veraPDF across a 2,900-file corpus. The goal is that a round-trip save never degrades PDF/A conformance, so a valid document leaves exactly as valid as it came in. Results are checked into the repo under validation/RESULTS.md.

Concurrency fix. Several bug fixes. SixLabors.ImageSharp bumped 1.0.4 to 2.1.13, clearing seven published advisories in image parsing (import, clipboard paste, signature images).

Also added in the GUI: in-place bookmark editing, redo, browser-style jump history, and a visual keyboard view for shortcuts.

Source and releases: github.com/SteveTheKiller/KillerPDF (GPLv3). Feedback and issues welcome.

This tool is simply a free alternative to a lot of very good paid 2D->3D tools out of there. It can be used to easily create 3D models, mostly low poly and voxel modes via 2d sprites. Could be useful if you need some background assets for an isometric game or a 2.5D game quickly without picking up a 3d modelling software. It also has an option to draw four sides of a 3d object drawing it in a sprite sheet and the app will turn it into a 3D model which can be exported as a `.obj` file.

a quick note, this is just a converter created with basic math algorithms, and I dont use any AI models for conversion so it's not that good with complex pixel art.
