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

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...
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.
Sounds interesting! It could be useful for self hosting apps without the complexity of k8s.
My thoughts as well. Podman + systemd is a really solid combination for small scale deployments like homelabs, abstracting it a bit would make it even more approachable.
Not the more normal FOSS project, but I keep plugging away on Speeduino an open source (hardware and software) Engine Management system (aka ECU). Started it way back in 2013 and it just continues to grow in terms of community and contributors.
We have no way of accurately tracking how many are in use, but there's at least 4000 of these units out there these days, which is a number I'm pretty proud of for a hobby based open hardware project.
I have a few projects I switch between based on how much time I have and where my interests lie.
My most recent is a from-scratch compiler for a made-up language (MIT), Intercept, written in C with no dependencies (apart from libc, of course). I'm really proud of this one, and have even been lucky enough to work with other people on it.
And then there's my text editor (MIT), which is an homage to Emacs. I just have learned so much from Emacs and like it so much that I had to make my own. At this point it's got a working SDL2 and OpenGL backend, as well as tree-sitter syntax highlighting, and, of course, is extensible through LITE LISP, the built-in programming language.
Finally, my pride and joy, LensorOS (GPLv3). I started this project when I first started learning C++, and through it I have learned amazing things about how computers actually work, from hardware to kernels to userspace.
Just wanted to say, this is a really good idea for a thread! I really enjoy seeing all these amazing projects from everybody
Hey 👋🏾 I use ratbag and it's pretty amazing so thank you :)
Thanks, although I haven't contributed much to the core of ratbag. I only added drivers for the Mars Gaming MM4 mouse, which you're unlikely to have heard of. Thanks should be given to the maintainers, which did a great job in mentoring and reviewing my PR!
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 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.

I am building a project within the Fediverse. I believe in the fediverse but the gatekeeping and HOA behaviour gets tiring. So, I’m building a project that is open to all kinds of users. Those that want a more comprehensive user experience similar to what they got with big social without all of the ick and those that largely like things they way they are but want a better UI.
What like a Reddit style link aggregator? Or more akin to something else?
I'd love to be working on one, but I'm a messed up decaying byproduct of depression who lost all the will and skills.
OpenRGB, it's an open source application to control RGB lighting on PC components and peripherals, smart lights, and more. It started as an attempt to reverse engineer ASUS Aura because I wanted to control my motherboard lighting in Linux and then I went on to add more and more devices and an API to unify them, then the community blew it up into what it is today with effects plugins and third party apps.
So far just contributing to other projects whenever I find something, missing. My main project that I am currently starting to work on is a Wayland Tiling Compositor written in Rust, but so far I am still in very early stages. I really like how Wayland works but so far all the compositors are lacking something I want, closest to what I want is DWL, but it still lacks some things I want.
