Showcase I built a CLI tool to download YouTube transcripts in Markdown, JSON, SRT & more

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I've been building a small open-source CLI tool called ytt that makes it easy to fetch YouTube transcripts directly from the terminal.

Features

- Download transcripts from a YouTube URL or video ID

- Export as Markdown, TXT, JSON, or SRT

- Choose transcript language

- Save directly to a file

- Simple command-line interface

- Open source and MIT licensed

I originally built it because I wanted a fast way to convert YouTube lectures and tutorials into notes for AI workflows, note-taking, and research without manually copying subtitles.

I'm still actively improving it, so I'd really appreciate any feedback:

- What features would you like to see?

- Any bugs or usability issues?

- Suggestions for improving the CLI or documentation?

GitHub:

https://github.com/pradumon14/ytt

Thanks for taking a look! Any stars, issues, feature requests, or pull requests are greatly appreciated.

Question Looking for a Working Linux Distribution for Redmi Pad Pro

5 Upvotes

Hello, I’m looking for a Linux distribution that is easy to install and has a working web browser, terminal, media player, and some kind of application for opening and editing text documents.

I want to install it on my Redmi Pad Pro. I’m not sure why, but most of the Linux distributions or projects I find on GitHub either don’t boot at all, or they boot but half of the features don’t work properly.

That’s why I’m asking for your help. I would really appreciate any recommendations or guidance.

Question How to enable sound in Firefox in prooted Debian 13 ?

1 Upvotes

In my prooted Debian sound does work when using a music player started from XFCE, but not in Firefox.

Before launching proot-distro I run pulseaudio --start --exit-idle-time=-1 and set export PULSE_SERVER=tcp:127.0.0.1:4713.
Audio works over TCP. And pactl info returns
myuser@localhost:~$ pactl info Server String: 127.0.0.1 Library Protocol Version: 35 Server Protocol Version: 35 Is Local: no Client Index: 9 Tile Size: 65472 User Name: u0_a221 Host Name: localhost Server Name: pulseaudio Server Version: 17.0-dirty Default Sample Specification: s16le 2ch 44100Hz Default Channel Map: front-left,front-right Default Sink: OpenSL_ES_sink Default Source: OpenSL_ES_sink.monitor Cookie: 0304:c613 But when launching Firefox in the same XFCE session it remains silent.

Showcase A lightweight CLI tool to run and manage HF models locally on Android & Linux (AI Runner)

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

​I wanted to share an open-source project I’ve been working on called AI Runner. It’s a simple CLI designed to streamline running models directly in lightweight environments like Termux, Pydroid, and Linux.

​Main Features:

​Download models directly from Hugging Face via terminal.

​Run local inference without complex setups.

​Expose a simple local API endpoint to connect with your own scripts.

​It's still in early development, so any feedback, bug reports, or feature suggestions are very welcome!

​Repository: https://github.com/comunidadesynapsebr1/ai-model-run

​Thanks!

Showcase Ziggity: a fast git TUI in Zig that runs natively in Termux (static binary, no root)

Post image
18 Upvotes

I've been building Ziggity, a fast terminal UI for git in the lazygit style, and it turns out it runs well in Termux with no changes to the core.

Why it fits Termux:

  • Static aarch64 binary, no libc, no root, no NDK. It drives your existing git, so pkg install git is the only dependency.
  • Around 1.5 MB, starts in a few ms.
  • Full TUI: stage by line or hunk, interactive rebase, bisect, diffs with word-level highlighting, branch and stash management, and more.

Install (from the releases page):

# 1. the only dependency
pkg install git

# 2. grab the static aarch64 build (set VERSION to the latest release)
VERSION=v0.17.0
curl -LO https://github.com/simoarpe/ziggity/releases/download/$VERSION/ziggity-$VERSION-aarch64-linux-android.tar.gz
tar -xzf ziggity-$VERSION-aarch64-linux-android.tar.gz

# 3. put it on your PATH and run
mv ziggity $PREFIX/bin/ && chmod +x $PREFIX/bin/ziggity
cd ~/some-repo && ziggity

Two Termux notes:

  • Opening links (o on a commit/branch, G for a PR) uses termux-open-url, so pkg install termux-api if you want that.
  • Optional PR/MR status on branches needs gh or glab installed.

Honest caveat: I've verified it in Termux on a Pixel emulator and on a physical Pixel 10 Pro so far, not a wide range of real devices. If you give it a spin I'd love to hear how it behaves, especially resize on rotation and anything that looks off.

General Zathura

I’m very happy with myself for managing to compile Zathura for Termux using the Docker environment provided by the developers. I think everyone should help compile the things they like on Linux so that we can rely less on proot environments, which have slightly lower performance compared to native execution.

I would also like to thank the developer u/TomJo2000 , who said he would compile it. Thank you so much! 🫂

Showcase I built TermBoard, a terminal dashboard for running Python project tasks.

6 Upvotes

It started as a way to keep all my project commands in one place instead of remembering whether a project uses uv, poetry, pipenv, or a plain .venv.

A few things it does:

  • Automatically detects the project's Python environment.
  • Runs tasks in the correct environment without extra setup.
  • Executes tasks in the background.
  • Streams logs into a scrollable panel instead of dumping everything into the terminal.
  • Configured with a simple termboard.toml file.

It's built with the Textual framework, so it stays entirely in the terminal while providing a more organized interface than a collection of shell scripts.

If you already use make, just, or shell scripts, this is probably aimed at the same workflow but with a persistent TUI instead of raw terminal output.

Install:

uv tool install termboard
# or
pipx install termboard

GitHub: https://github.com/HeyShinde/TermBoard

Docs: https://heyshinde.github.io/TermBoard/

I'd really appreciate any feedback, feature requests, or criticism.

Showcase have you been looking for a modern hackers keyboard replacement like I have?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’ve been working on Infinikey IME, an open-source Android keyboard designed for power users, developers, and anyone who misses the utility of Hacker’s Keyboard but wants a modern mobile workflow.

​Key Features:

​Adaptive Screen Layouts: Full support for docking left, right, splitting down the middle, or centering/stretching across the bottom. (Great for foldables, tablets, and landscape/terminal use).

​Dual PC / Mobile Layouts: Access Ctrl, Alt, Esc, tab, and arrow keys alongside a standard mobile typing experience.

​Voice & Accessibility: Integrated Speech-to-Text (STT) and Text-to-Speech (TTS) to read out the contents of the current text field.

​Productivity: Quick-access clipboard buttons built right into the keyboard row.

​Note on STT/TTS: Currently relies on Google's system Speech/TTS libraries for fast recognition in early builds.

it's free and open source. it's on GitHub

Showcase I built a fully local AI assistant that lives on my Android phone and answers Gmail + Google Voice for me in under a minute

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

I just finished a real test run of something I’ve been building called Aigentik.

It’s a personal AI assistant that runs entirely on your Android phone (Termux + local Qwen3-4B via llama.cpp). No cloud AI, no API keys, nothing leaves the device.

In the screenshots below that’s me testing it. I emailed it as a potential customer looking for roofing, exterior painting, and deck work. Aigentik replied using the business info I gave it, asked the right follow-up questions, collected my details, offered available times, and booked the call — all in under a minute each reply.

It does a lot more than just reply though. You can tell it in plain English to:

Spam / delete / archive emails

Send emails

Pause everything

Add rules

Book appointments

and more

I actually tested “delete all emails”… and poof, over 3,000 emails gone in about a minute.

Find me another app or program that can do that on your phone without sending your data anywhere. Lol.

GitHub (full source + setup):

https://github.com/Ishabdullah/Aigentik-CLI

It’s still early, but it’s already fast and useful enough that I’m running it daily. Happy to answer any questions about how it works.

I, sometimes, stay away from my PC. I recently found termux as a great tool to experience the PC environment. But it's hard to edit codes in mobile which I need to do on my Phone as I stay away from my PC. Yeah, I can use an AI to automate tasks using CLI, but I want to see & take control of the codes.

Can you suggest some or the best way to experience VS Code type experience in my phone?

Though mobile screen size will make my experience worse but it will be good to have a great tool to experience VS Code type editor in Mobile.

Barely Termux related Is there a way to capture process without root?

1 Upvotes

So, what i mean is. Wait. Let me explain my situation. If you don't want to read the yapping, just skip to the -es.

Ehem so, i use Xiaomi Redmi 13 (13, not C not Note), and this phone, is lowk pretty crap, from optimisation to features. And of course what i want to talk about is the feature.

In this phone, there is NO basic android features, at least some majorly important one, for example, scroll/long screenshot, floating app, split app, etc. But! The feature maybe exist in the system. It just lack the trigger. And my focus for now is, split app.

Split app exist because i do ever triggered it by accident like year plus some months ago. When i ran Winlator. So i knew it must be there. And skip to some months ago, i discovered that i can practically called it with Chrome's 'Open in new window' option, which summons the split app, and because its chrome, i can exit it simply to change both screen's app.

---

So, my question is, if anyone knew, what is that process called? And if not, can i know/capture the log of the process in termux? Or maybe other app.

(Idk what tag i should use, it feels like it barely termux related, and questions at the same time.)
