So in the spirit of this community and not just to focus on the Reddit... issues... I thought it might be nice to get a topical conversation going in here.

Basically, what open source projects are you currently working on or are you heavily involved with?

I think it would be nice to see what projects people have on the go, get some publicity out there and otherwise talk about stuff that we should be discussing here.

I work maintaining Husky at this very moment!

I'm working to make a FOSS SHAREit alternative, that also has spoofing capability with the said app.

I'm setting myself to contribute to OpenScan, though I've also developed a few little flutter widgets here and there for hobby spaces I participate in.

I'm the creator of Deus Ex Randomizer and I've been working on it a lot. This mod randomizes tons of things in the game like locations of items/keys/goals/enemies/starting locations. It also randomizes passwords that way you actually have to find them just like playing the game for the first time. Stats of weapons, skills, and augmentations are randomized too, and a lot more. We have a trailer video here but it's about a year old now and we've added so much to it since then.

I've also made RollerCoaster Tycoon Randomizer, Build Engine Randomizer (as in Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior, Blood, Ion Fury), and StarCraft 2 Randomizer

I've also done some work on ScummVM (mostly for The 11th Hour and other Trilobyte games).

I just made a collection of communities for my projects https://lemmy.mods4ever.com/communities

I'm planning on writing a wrapper for Podman and systemd to make it possible to use kubectl commands to deploy and maintain applications. The idea is a middleground between Podman (or Docker) to real Kubernetes like k3s...

Not sure if anyone (even me) would find it interesting or useful. But a good excuse to learn more Go.

[–] qjammer@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sounds interesting! It could be useful for self hosting apps without the complexity of k8s.

My biggest free/open source project is FreeMazes3D, a puzzle solving game involving procedurally generated mazes. I developed it using various JavaScript technologies (especially Babylon.js and Electron). I feel that most of the core content has already been created, but I do plan to do a few minor update releases down the road...

For the last year I have been contributing to Portmaster. Open source application firewall that focuses on privacy. You can check it here https://safing.io We recently did v1.1.0

I contribute to Umbraco every so often because we use it at work and think they should get some help because it's been really useful for us. The community is very friendly and the devs are appreciative of good quality pull requests.

Some projects are kind of underwhelming. You can watch your PR you spent multiple nights on go completely unnoticed, without even a "thanks, we're getting around to checking this." I don't mind when it's some guy with a hobby project but I'm talking about projects run by companies.

I might look at Lemmy soon. I've been looking to help with something I actually have some personal stake in. It's hard to put effort in when you don't use it.

Umbraco is a fantastic open source project, as well as a great example of how open source can support a profitable company as well, through support, training, and certification programs.

I don't use it as much these days, as its not part of my day job, and for my hobby projects I'm using static site generators, I appreciate what Umbraco has, and how they do it. It really is great software, for users and developers.

Honestly not working on it at the moment but been meaning to for a long time: lapce.dev I'm tired of every application being another Elextron wrapper with outdated versions having issues. VSCodium for me literally takes hundreds of MBs for just a small like ~20 files project and the native Wayland support is still lacking big time. It's time we go back to native applications!

[–] Daeraxa@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I do like Lapce and I'm fairly active on the Discord, I was considering using it as my Atom replacement intially before I joined the Pulsar team. Excited to see what Floem ends up bringing to it, lots of UI stuff put on hold because it was just too hard in Druid.

[–] RayJW@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Definitely, it's already a great code editor, but it still needs some work to be a good ~IDE replacement. But it's looking great and the progress is impressively fast.

None. Though I've been fucking around with FreeCAD a lot and would like to share some designs if I finish anything useful.
