Show us your half baked, not really ready for prime time projects.
Or just whatever open source stuff you’ve been contributing to lately!
For me, it’s https://openlibrary.org I’ve been working on having author pages populated with data from wikidata. Also a few other small things with documentation and small UI bugs :)

I have never contributed directly to open source, perhaps because I have never felt truly confident about my programming skills. But I have always done all that I can - starring repos I like, helping beginners with linux related issues, contributing to discussions in forums, promoting foss in a friendly way wherever I can and leaving feedback and reports wherever I can.
I guess it’s something Yet I find my mind wandering sometimes If I am contributing enough.
I’m actively working on a web front-end for Newpipe (Tubo) in my spare time. Alhough the core functionality is already there, I have yet a lot of features/nice-to-haves to tackle, as well as many refinements to the UX to make it as close to the Newpipe app as possible.
Something I was really looking for was being able to Sync Newpipe with some interface on my desktop, this sounds great and maybe you could implement that as well?
There’s also the option to make a Piped account and use LibreTube on your phone
There is FreeTube that seems to be like Newpipe already but the more, the merrier. Google is not going to stop abusing it’s power.
I’m working on a fun personal project to replace insomnia/postman. I am adding pre-request and post-request scripts, open API/swagger support, and NO logins.
I’m working on too many at once, mainly because I have too many things I need to finish. My goal is a 100% rust stack.
Right now my bigger project is a soft fork of rgit to add some features that I personally want that are outside of the scope of the original. The task at the moment is connecting to git http-backend to serve clones via HTTPS. My goal for that project is ala-carte feature patches that anyone can cherry pick and build their own.
I havent pushed my changes yet, too unstable.
https://git.holly.sh is everything I have that I have cleaned up and am willing to share. That also runs the working copy of sparkle-git.
I’m working on [email protected] and [email protected] . BOINC is a tool used by scientists to distribute computational workloads to the computers of volunteers, Gridcoin is a cryptocurrency which issues rewards for people who use BOINC (like mining crypto but for science instead of hashes). I’m not a direct dev on either project, but I code tools which make those projects easier to use, write documentation, etc.
I’ve been working on my economy overview website Keizai for the past 2-3 months. And started to develop the new version of my weather service Serenum few weeks ago. Only the landing page are done for now.
Keizai are basically all done. Just some tweaks and improvements here and there left to do. Also planning some new features.
The current version of Serenum works, but it is slow. The new version will be faster since the new API will cache the data. And instead of OpenWeatherMap (that logs “a lot” of data upon API request), the new version of Serenum API will use met.no (weather API from Norway with zero (0) logging).
Tiny tool to run docker images and create new images from running containers. Mostly because at work we started to provide all the databases we use as docker images (some with full application configurations) and I needed a way to run various database versions and create snapshots to reproduce bugs etc.

I’m building a Lemmy/Kbin clone, using Python (Flask framework). I’m about 3 months in so the basics are there but it’s definitely still half-baked…
If this sounds like something you’d like to contribute to, pop your email address into this form https://rimu.geek.nz/piefed-comms/?p=subscribe and I’ll keep you in the loop!
That sounds awesome. What license will it be under? I think the world really needs a Lemmy implementation under a more permissive license than the AGPL.
My first instinct is to go for AGPL but the whole licensing debate isn’t something I’ve ever really engaged with so I’m not really making an informed decision about that.
What’s the advantages of a more permissive license?
I think frankly the AGPL shouldn’t even be considered a free license. Merely running the program, even modified, shouldn’t require you to publish the source code you run on your machine without distributing it.
In terms of practical advantages, a more permissive license will boost fediverse adoption by businesses, which I think is desirable.
Fediverse adoption from corporations is the exact opposite of ideal. If that were to happen the fediverse would enshittified just as much as sites like reddit are today.
