for bulk similarity searches.
- Possible machine‑learning models to predict good candidate blocks.

- Dynamic Content: Real‑time applications, databases, and live streaming don’t fit neatly into static recipes. Additional layers—perhaps streaming recipes or mutable matrix extensions—would be required.

- Integration with the Existing Internet: Adoption hinges on low entry barriers (e.g., browser plugins, easy Matrix bootstrapping). Bridging mechanisms to fetch traditional HTTP resources when a recipe is unavailable will ease transition.

## Final Thoughts: A Paradigm Shift

MatrixNet invites us to rethink data sharing as reconstruction rather than copying. It envisions a future where our collective digital heritage isn’t locked in fragile silos but woven into a shared, permanent fabric.

- What if files never die, because their pieces already exist everywhere, just in a different shape?
- What if the only thing we need to share is how to rebuild information, not the information itself?

These questions are powerful. I’m sure there are flaws and challenges I haven’t covered—your critiques, ideas, and expertise are welcome.

Let’s collaborate to build a new internet that empowers users rather than corporations or governments.

If you’re a software engineer, cryptographer, network/security specialist, machine‑learning researcher, or simply passionate about decentralized systems, please reach out. I’ve created a GitHub repo for the community to start prototyping:

https://github.com/anedsa/Matrix-Net

For this I’m seeking collaborators to help run and grow this project, if you’d like to contribute, please DM me.
---

## TL;DR

MatrixNet = hyper‑compressed, decentralized web.
- Problem: Current web is fragile, censored, and bandwidth‑inefficient; data vanishes when servers go down.
- Idea: Share only a tiny Recipe (a few KB) that tells a device which chunks from a shared Matrix to pull and how to tweak them to recreate the original file.
- Benefits: Massive bandwidth savings, permanent availability (as long as the Recipe exists), censorship resistance, and offline browsing if you store the Matrix locally.
- Catch: Finding similar chunks is computationally heavy; dynamic content needs extra layers—but it’s a promising thought experiment for a more resilient web.

I made a telegram bot template

I made this template for python-telegram-bot which covers almost every integral part of a telegram bot in addition to some nice decorators and utils. After about 6 years of python telegram bot development (not full time) I can finally say this template is indeed perfect, at least for me. Hope it'll be of use for you too

🎬 FrameExtractionTool - Extract Perfect Frames from Videos with SwiftUI

**Hey Everyone!**
I just released my latest side project - **FrameExtractionTool** \- a simple iOS app for extracting high-quality frames from videos.

**📱 What it does:**

* Video Selection: Pick any video from your photo library
* Frame-Perfect Playback: Custom video player with precise timeline control
* Frame Marking: Mark specific moments during playback
* High-Quality Extraction: Save frames at original video resolution
* Custom Albums: Organize extracted frames in custom photo albums

**🛠️ Built with:**

* **SwiftUI** \+ **AVFoundation**
* **GitHub Actions** for automated builds

⚠️ **Important Disclaimer:**

This is a **very barebone app** as a side project of mine. The main goals were to:

* Learn how AI can help build apps
* Play around with SwiftUI and modern iOS development
* Experiment with SF Symbols and Icon Composer
* Explore automated CI/CD with GitHub Actions

**This app is very heavily developed using AI.** Bugs are expected! 🐛

**🎯 Why I built this:**

I often needed to extract specific frames from videos for presentations, memes, or reference images. And I don't see a same app that offers similar functionality for free. Therefore, I tried using AI and built it myself.

**🔗 Links:**

* **GitHub**: [FrameExtractionTool](https://github.com/CasperOng/FrameExtractionTool/)
* **Releases**: Check the releases page for unsigned IPA files.

**🤝 Contributing:**

Feel free to:

* Open issues for bugs 🐛
* Submit pull requests with fixes 🔧
* Suggest new features 💡
* Roast my (AI's) code (gently please) 😅

**TL;DR**: Made a simple frame extraction app with SwiftUI as an AI-assisted learning project. It works, has bugs, and is open source. Come try it! 😄

Anyone interested in an interesting project for an anti-bot?

All of you here likely know the dead internet theory, it’s especially bad on places like Reddit, twitter, comment sections etc.

I was thinking, maybe it’s time to try and get a group of folks together and build an open source bot detector, there has too be some way to train a program to detect likely bot activity with fairly high confidence.

Here’s why it needs to be open source and crowdsourced: we need huge amounts of data to train on human accounts and bot accounts.

But imagine a world where you can call on a Reddit bot, or twitter bot (ironic I know) and it will scan a account, then give a confidence score of how likely the account is run by a bot.

I’m fairly new into programming and ML, but I’m learning. I am however a technology consultant, meaning it’s literally my job to think of new ideas and ways to use tech, like this, then figure out how to make it happen.

So that’s what I’m doing now.

Bodhveda - open source notifications for developers

I wanted to add notifications to one of my products and I couldn't find a solution that was open source and I could self host but most are closed source, except Novu and are expensive $1 to $5 per 1,000 notifications.

So I built Bodhveda \- an open-source notification platform that lets developers add in-app notifications to their products in minutes — not weeks. Whether you’re launching your first product or scaling to millions, Bodhveda handles delivery, preferences, and analytics so you can focus on what matters.

I was tired of dealing with image-based subnoscripts, so I built Subnoscript Forge, a cross-platform tool to extract and convert them to SRT.

Hey everyone,




  Like many of you who manage a media library, I often run into video files with embedded image-based subnoscripts (like PGS for Blu-rays or VobSub for DVDs). Getting those

  into the universally compatible .srt format was always a hassle, requiring multiple tools and steps.




  To solve this for myself, I created Subnoscript Forge, a desktop application for macOS, and Linux that makes the process much simpler.




  It's a tool with both a GUI and a CLI, but the main features of the GUI version are:




   * Extract & Convert: Pulls subnoscripts directly from MKV files.

   * OCR for Image Subnoscripts: Converts PGS (SUP) and VobSub (SUB/IDX) subnoscripts into text-based SRT files using OCR. It also handles ASS/SSA to SRT conversion.

   * Batch Processing: You can load a video file and process multiple subnoscript tracks at once.

   * Insert Subnoscripts: You can also use it to add an external SRT file back into an MKV.

   * Modern GUI: It has a clean, simple drag-and-drop interface, progress bars with time estimates, and dark theme support.




  The app is built with Go and the Fyne (https://fyne.io/) toolkit for the cross-platform GUI. It's open-source, and I'm hoping to get some feedback from the community to

  make it even better.




  You can check it out, see screenshots, and find the installation instructions over on GitHub:

Anyone else got charged a few cents by GitHub for an open-source repo?

I just noticed something odd and wanted to check if it’s only me.

On July 27, 2025, I opened a support ticket with GitHub after receiving an invoice that showed my public open-source repository being billed under “metered” usage. From what I understand, public repos shouldn’t trigger these charges.

I only got a reply on August 12, and the next day they explained it was a bug: some users were charged a couple of cents for metered billing products, even when they shouldn’t have been. They reversed the charge and said they’re working on a fix.

That’s fine — but now I’m wondering: how many other people saw a tiny $0.02 or $0.03 charge and didn’t bother contacting support?

Has anyone else here noticed small, unexpected charges for public repos recently?

Project: Unstructored -> structured

I’m building an open-source AI Agent that converts messy, unstructured documents into clean, structured data.

The idea is simple:

You upload multiple documents — invoices, purchase orders, contracts, medical reports, etc. — and get back structured data (CSV tables) so you can visualize and work with your information more easily.

Here’s the approach I’m testing:

1. inference_schema

A vLLM analyzes your documents and suggests the best JSON schema for them — regardless of the document type.
This schema acts as the “official” structure for all files in the batch.

2. invoice_data_capture

A specialized LLM maps the extracted fields strictly to the schema.
For each uploaded document, it returns something like this, always following the same structure:

>

3. generate_csv

Once all documents are structured in JSON, another specialized LLM (with tools like Pandas) designs CSV tables to clearly present the extracted data.

💬 What do you think about this approach? All feedback is welcome
