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 :)

    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.
