    Opensource replacement for onenote

    3 years ago this exact post was removed because back then I didn't had enough karma. (It was my first post on this account) But recently I was facing the the same problem again since I didn't really find a solution back then.

    Original post:
    Hi there i am currently using win 10 on my notebook and i really like using onenote on the touch screen.
    Now i am also thinking to upgrade my notebook by deinstalling windows and go with ubuntu. Is there a suitable replacement for onenote?

    100+ open-source, local AI tools and solutions

    Hi u/opensource, I come across open-source local AI tools every day, and it's still exhausting to find the appropriate tools and solutions.
    As an open-source project, our team at Jan has started curating a collection of open-source, local AI tools and solutions in one GitHub repo. We listed 100+ open-source projects from inference engines to AI agents - you can review the list here: https://github.com/janhq/awesome-local-ai
    This list helped me a lot even before joining the Jan team. I strongly believe that open-source LLMs are likely to change the way we do things - even in fields like marketing and business strategy, which I worked on for several years. A boring note: I believe in it so strongly that I've changed my career direction.
    We'll update this list with some more visual elements and add better understandable diagrams for each category. I need your comments and contributions on this. Do you think adding more visuals on a GitHub repo resonates with the audience, or should we just do that for social media posts?
    If you've found the list useful please consider giving it a star on GitHub. As always, contributions are also welcome.

    NAPS2 - FOSS Document Scanning, now with Mac + Linux support, and an SDK

    Hi, I just published NAPS2 7.4.2. NAPS2 is a popular open-source document scanning app (for scanners from Canon, Brother, HP, etc.), and 7.x represents a major overhaul I've worked on for the past few years.

    Some highlights of 7.x:

    • Native Linux and Mac UIs join the existing Windows UI, built with .NET 8's cross-platform capabilities and the Eto.Forms GUI framework.
    • Support for scanning with SANE (the open-source Linux scanning drivers) on Mac, which allows newer M1/M2/M3 Macs to use USB scanners that otherwise wouldn't have arm64 drivers.
    • Support for scanning with ESCL on all platforms (also known as Apple AirScan, a network protocol supported by many modern scanners).
    • Support for turning any USB scanner into a network-capable ESCL scanner (e.g. plug your scanner into your desktop and use it from your laptop or phone; or set up a Windows-only scanner in a VM).
    • Better handling of imported PDFs, turning NAPS2 into a capable PDF editor and OCR program.
    • All of NAPS2's core scanning functionality (and PDF, OCR, etc.) can be used by .NET developers with the NAPS2.Sdk Nuget packages. WIA, TWAIN, SANE, and ESCL drivers are all supported on their respective platforms with a single easy-to-use API.

    What are the benefits of switching fully to open-source

    Simple video editor to create videos from audio and image files?

    I have a bunch of obscure, unreleased and otherwise as-of-yet uploaded music, which I'd like to share on YouTube. All I need is something that can encode the audio into a video file, along with a static image file for the 'video'. So, nothing overly complex. I won't need to be editing any audio or video; literally just importing a single audio file along with a single static image.

    Thanks in advance!

    I built an open-source API Gateway to secure third-party API keys in front end Applications

    Hey Everyone,

    I'd like to share a project I've been working on: an open-source API gateway that simplifies the integration of frontend applications with third-party APIs, particularly for those APIs that require confidential handling of API keys, without the need to develop your own backend.

    The gateway utilizes an Express server, which can be configured through a YAML file. It allows you to establish proxy endpoints that manage requests to external APIs, incorporates secret keys into these requests to safeguard them from exposure on the frontend, and supports various policies including CORS, JWT authentication, API authentication, and rate limiting.

    For those interested in seeing this project in action quickly, you can get started using the Node CLI or Docker image. Both methods are designed to help users integrate the api gateway into their projects with minimal setup.

    I'm eager to receive feedback and perspectives from the community regarding this project!

    Alternative to synthesia.io

    Pretty straightforwards question: Any open source alternative to synthesia.io? A ready made tool would be great, but a model with open weights are enough.

    A Github Project Template with Agentic Workflows

    I made a FOSS Github template called Smart Project that comes with AI workflows:

    • Automatically formats and labels new issues
    • Checks new PRs for common issues, code quality, format, etc
    • A workflow to generate code
    • A workflow to run arbitrary tasks
    • A workflow to ask questions about the code base

    You can also talk to the AI agent in issue/PR comments with `/pilot`.

    Let me know what you think!

    Looking for a tool that can hold commands that can be executed on multiple nodes

    Hey everyone,

    It has occasionally happens that on one of my nodes/machines/vm's something goes wrong or I'm missing a package, for example nano, which I then have to manually fix or install.

    I was wondering if there is a simple tool out there in which I can put some snippets connect those to an action, let's say "Install nano" and execute it on one or multiple nodes with the click of a mouse, preferably via ssh.

    I realized that the snippet will need to be different depending on the OS, so if the tool would allow you to add a snippet per OS bundled together under one action and it would execute the right one for the right OS.

    Maybe a tall order, I don't know, but that would be really helpful.

    Create A Web Page to Calculate Interior Design Cost Sim

    Hi
    I'm working in interior design industry, we get around 100 leads per months
    I need some web page for my employees to count the total cost for the clients needs
    So far we are using excel page, but sometimes we got lost and can't track the simulation we created via excel before and need to recreate it for our leads
    What we want to create is something like this

    https://ibb.co/9ysp5hH

    You can select which component and the cost also the total will be shown, also you can save the form and recall them via specific 'simulation code' which whenever you input it, it will show the last values inputted before
    Any opensource code to achieve something like this?
