Hello guys i want to show u my first open-source project! AstroVista is a web application that pulls space images from NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day API. As someone who’s passionate about space exploration and web programming, I created this project using modern technologies like Next.js, Tailwind CSS, React, and TypeScript.

I'm inviting everyone especially those who, like me, are new to the open-source world to join and contribute to the project. Whether you want to improve the app, add new features, or just explore what modern web tools can do, your participation is welcome.

You can check out the source code = https://github.com/FernaandoJr/AstroVista

Hey everyone!

If you’ve been active in r/Rag, you’ve probably noticed the massive wave of new RAG tools and frameworks that seem to be popping up every day. Keeping track of all these options can get overwhelming, fast.

That’s why I created RAGHub, our official community-driven resource to help us navigate this ever-growing landscape of RAG frameworks and projects.

What is RAGHub?

RAGHub is an open-source project where we can collectively list, track, and share the latest and greatest frameworks, projects, and resources in the RAG space. It’s meant to be a living document, growing and evolving as the community contributes and as new tools come onto the scene.

Why Should You Care?

• Stay Updated: With so many new tools coming out, this is a way for us to keep track of what's relevant and what's just hype.
• Discover Projects: Explore other community members' work and share your own.
• Discuss: Each framework in RAGHub includes a link to Reddit discussions, so you can dive into conversations with others in the community.

How to Contribute

You can get involved by heading over to the RAGHub GitHub repo. If you’ve found a new framework, built something cool, or have a helpful article to share, you can:

• Add new frameworks to the Frameworks table.
• Share your projects or anything else RAG-related.
• Add useful resources that will benefit others.

You can find instructions on how to contribute in the CONTRIBUTING.md file.

If you're passionate about machine learning, cybersecurity (especially white box testing and secure coding practices), and love working with JavaScript/TypeScript, this is your chance to dive in!

NodejsSecurify is a comprehensive npm package that scans your JavaScript code, identifying security vulnerabilities and suboptimal coding practices across all files, and provides detailed audit reports.

Check out NodejsSecurify — a project registered for Hacktoberfest! It’s packed with good first issues and an awesome opportunity to contribute to a meaningful open-source project.

Let’s build something amazing together!

Join the Pujo Atlas Project: Calling Flutter, Django, and Web Developers!

At r/kolkata, we’re building Pujo Atlas—an app that will be a go-to resource for Pujo enthusiasts and pandal hoppers. This app will guide users to notable Durga Puja pandals across the city, helping them explore Kolkata's rich cultural heritage during the festivities.

Current Challenge

While we’ve made significant progress on the UI/UX front, our frontend and backend development is lagging due to a lack of dedicated developers. We need contributors with expertise in Flutter (frontend) and Django (backend) to help push the project forward.

What We’re Looking For

Backend (Django, Python):

• Strong knowledge of Django and Python for backend services.

Frontend (Flutter/Dart):

• Experience building cross-platform mobile apps using Flutter.

DevOps (AWS):

• Familiarity with setting up and maintaining services on AWS.

UI/UX:

• Experience working with Figma, Material 3 Design, and optionally Apple Human Interface Guidelines.

Web Development (React & TypeScript):

• Tech stack: React, TypeScript
• Nice-to-have: Familiarity with Git, Astro, Tailwind, and Leaflet
• Level: Beginner in React & TypeScript, but with a solid understanding of JavaScript. Should have experience building mobile-responsive web apps with React.

Incentives

Pujo Atlas is an FOSS project, so while we cannot provide monetary compensation, we will offer recognition and credits for your contributions. In the future, we hope to distribute physical tokens to contributors, which can be showcased in various social settings to acknowledge your affiliation with the project.

Hello there! I'm looking for open source collaborators to join my open source collective called WAVE Foundation!

Please DM me for more details. We mostly deal with software at the moment but will eventually encompas all forms of technology.

EDIT: CONTEXT: the goal of the WAVE Foundation is to male people centered technology and software for the benefit of the people, not the über rich.

This is of course how most open source software works, with the distinction that people will be able to lean on the collective knowledge of the entire collective.

The goal is to make open source versions of existing software or to create open source science and development projects much like how the early Internet worked

Hi, everyone I am from Eswatini, a small country next to South Africa. I am part of the Google Developer Student Club. We want to set up a simulation of a live software production open source projects where local student developers can contribute. Can I have advice on how I can setup everything on GitHub free teir? What important bits I have to note especially in branching, tracking issues, assigning issues, reviewing pull requests, communication and more. Basically I want to know how companies setup their live production of software so I can simulate the same.

Why we doing this? We are a small plagued with unemployment, but we colleges teach software development skills and more but not all of them get to experience what it's like to produce software in a formal business setting. This will help with familiarise them on how everything works so they can possibly get jobs outside the country or remotely

I think a Google search hardly brings the answer that I want, and if I only do it without making any noises, it would be extremely slow for me to get what I want. So I wish to ask the question here.

I have heard that there has been industrial softwares where stability has been greatly enforced, so that they need to write softwares that are extremely stable. It's like that software should be ensured to run for decades without going wrong.

As a software engineer myself, I'm curious what kind of software is ensured to be such stable? I wonder if anyone has collected such projects on GitHub or are there book recommendations?

Hi, I have been learning about a few popular AI models and have created a few Python apps related to them. Feel free to try them out, and I’d appreciate any feedback you have!

• AutoSubs: Web app for embedding customizable subtitles in videos.
• VideoSummarizer: Web app that summarizes YouTube videos with custom word limits options.
• StableDiffusion: Python app for text-to-image generation and inpainting using Stable Diffusion 1.5.
• Image Matting: Python app for background removal with enhanced accuracy using ViTMatte with trimap generation.
• Lama Inpainting: Python app for object removal and inpainting with upscaling to maintain original resolution.
• YT Video Downloader: Web utility for downloading YouTube videos by URL.

For the past 6 months, I've been using an app that I developed, and it has been working great!

Digipaws is a free and open-source productivity utility designed to replace screen addiction with productive actions. The app, somewhat inspired by the anime Solo Leveling, has a feature called QUESTS, which are productive tasks that the user must perform to earn AURA. This AURA then allows access to addictive elements on the screen for a short period of time. The quests become increasingly harder with each completion to accommodate a slow-paced growth system.

The available quests include pushups, squats, "touch grass" (walking) and focus mode (all apps get blocked for the next 90 mins except for basic utilities like calling and sms). The app also has an open API through which other productive apps can interact and transform themselves into Digipaws quests.

Digipaws can block doom scrolling, entire apps, explicit keywords, and even comments sections or video descriptions. It offers three different modes: Adventure mode (contains quest system), Easy mode (usage reminder system), and Hard mode (completely block).

The app also offers a 21-day program called #TechRehab, where the user cannot uninstall Digipaws for the next three weeks.

Digipaws is in its very initial stages and only available to android for now.

Get it on Play Store: https://nethical6.github.io/digipaws/

Also consider donating the project if you want it to remain free and open-source forever: https://nethical6.github.io/digipaws/donate/

Today, we are officially open-sourcing our mobile keyboard testing framework we call Kebbie - https://github.com/FleksySDK/kebbie

While mobile virtual keyboards may appear straightforward on the surface, they are packed with cutting-edge technologies under the hood that vastly enhance user typing efficiency. For example: autocorrection, auto-completion, next-word prediction, and swipe gesture recognition are other NLP features that users typing on mobile use everyday.

This is why we wrote a Fleksy framework with the following features :

1. Comprehensive coverage of the four most important NLP features of a virtual keyboard

-- Auto-correction

-- Auto-completion

-- Next-word prediction

-- Swipe gesture recognition

2. High performance, by leveraging multiprocessing to minimize testing time

3. Customizability, enabling the use of any text dataset, thus supporting multiple languages easily

4. Mobile platform as first-class citizen : entirely centered around mobile virtual keyboards

We'd love your feedback !

Hi all, I am creating an innovative range finder and wanted to know if there are any open source range finders on the market. I would love to create something unique for the market. I am open to any suggestions and comments.

Hi all,

I'm looking for feedback on a tool I'm building - will give $10 to the first 5 that spend 15mins with me giving feedback.

​

The tool is a community treasury for raising, managing and distributing funds around the world. It's called Airship: https://www.getairship.io/

​

It's ideal for an open source community that is pooling funds to pursue a cause, recruit other members and wants to be able to send those funds around the world quickly and cheaply. It's kind of a "bank account in the Sky" but exists on blockchain rails. It's got a message board and task manager also.

​

If you're running an open source project with members in different countries, or know people who are, then I'd love to chat and give you $10 for your time!

I am in love with vintage photos, I been buying and scanning and trying to sell.
I have been experimenting with collage in both ways digital and physical.
Someone I look for inspo is people such as john baldessari.
I was wondering if anyone is interested in sharing scans with me. Its hard for me to say what I like more then others but happy to have what ever your interested in sharing. or if you have any resources for photos.
One of my crazy ideas is to have an opensource type space for artists/creatives to upload and use digital material for their projects.
Scanning is also something I been doing for a while and I would be happy to scan your photos

Hey, I am interested in open source contribution but couldn't find where to start. Can anyone suggest me good repositories as a beginner (PS: are repos of gsoc organisation better?)

We just launched 🚀 ClimateTriage.com, a platform helping you to contribute to open source projects focused on climate technology and sustainability.
🌏 ClimateTriage is being launched as a dedicated 'Good First Issue' platform focusing on the open technologies that help us to transparently understand and cooperatively manage the stability of our natural resources. Start making your first impactful contribution to climate change, sustainable energy, biodiversity and natural resources.
🤝 The Open Sustainable Technology community works closely with the Ecosyste.ms platform, which provides metadata about the entire open source ecosystem and is therefore independent of the GitHub platform. At the same time, this will enable projects to be sorted by download numbers and other dimensions from a variety of package managers in the future.
🙋🏻‍♀️ Projects that are looking for contributors can visit the main repository at Open Sustainable Technology on GitHub, then follow the guidelines provided to submit their project. They should label issues as 'Good First Issue' or 'Help Wanted'. In this way, open source communities help new members to familiarize themselves with the project and thus contribute to the growth of a lasting community. Ecosyste.ms will do the rest in the background and the project should soon after appear on ClimateTriage.com.
👨🏽‍💻 Whether you are a seasoned developer or a newcomer eager to contribute, ClimateTriage.com provides a curated directory of impactful projects and a pathway to making your first meaningful contribution to open sustainable technology. Simply visit the website and search for projects of interest to you to view what types of contributions they are seeking, then start contributing.

i am a final year computer science engineering student and i haven't done any open source contribution as such; i want to start open source contribution, can anyone help out on how and where to start?

Hey ! I am currently developing a solution to help people test open-source projects in a really easy manner.
I want to remove the hustle of cloning repositories and install dependencies just for trying a project specific function.
The idea would be to host open source projects and allow developers to test any function in 2 sec in a similar way as with an IDE "debug" mode.

I am now focusing on the most painful libraries/repos to test first (and also searching for beta testers if you are interested!)

Do you have some in mind ?
