Are there any chrome like apps for Android/iPhone?

Im saying like, let's say a messaging app, instead of having a "share live location" feature built into it, the app can have extensions that are community built additions. Are there apps like this?

Thinking about making Nextips open source, would you contribute?

I’ve been running Nextips , a social football predictions platform. I’m considering making it open source so anyone can contribute, improve it, and help grow the community.

Would you use it or contribute if I did? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

PhasePad - Sickynote overlay software

Hi there!

been working on this little handy software for myself mostly but i sharing it on github for anyone who might find it useful, it called Phasepad. the idea was to create a hotkey accessible note taking platform that closes and open smoothly with the hotkey and provides support for multiple types of notes like images, text, tables ect

it also works with cloud save folders so you can work across multiple devices with it. its still very much a WIP but i hope someone finds it helpful

Open source Java library for the LegiScan legislative API

I’ve been working on a small civic tech project that might be of interest: a Java adapter for the LegiScan API. It’s now on Maven Central and open sourced under MIT.

The library covers the full API, supports bulk caching of datasets, provides a simple CLI tool, and includes POJOs for type-safe JSON handling. You can use it either as a dependency or as a standalone fat jar.

GitHub repo: https://github.com/poliscore-us/legiscan

This is part of the larger PoliScore effort to make legislation more understandable and accessible (about). We also recently moved all PoliScore code into a dedicated GitHub org: https://github.com/poliscore-us/poliscore.

Would love feedback, or to hear if anyone else is working in the civic tech / legislative data space.

Debating about switching from AGPL 3.0 to Apache 2.0

I'm debating if I should make a certain package in my ecosystem Apache 2.0 - as opposed to it's current license being AGPL 3.0 - could use some input!

Background: The ecosystem I've built is replyke.com \- which is an open-source framework for building social products and implementing social features in existing products. It is built of the following building blocks:

1. Client side libraries - I've built 9 packages for implementing Replyke in ReactJS and React Native apps. Context providers, hooks, complete comment section UI and more - these are all available in a single monorepo under Apache 2.0
2. Express.js package - this is the one I am wondering about - it is all the server side logic. The implementation of all routes, models and controllers.
3. Hosted platform - dashboard for managing users, content, reports, analytics etc - this part is closed and will probably stay so (though I keep finding myself going more and more open source)

I am thinking about making the Express.js Replyke package also Apache 2.0 - but not sure what the right call is.

Is it currently affecting adoption that the express package is AGPL 3.0? Haven't had anyone say so, but I'm wondering.

The idea is that I provide the hosted version and AGPL 3.0 prevents others from also providing a hosted version, but for personal use anyone can use that.
Am I looking at it wrong? I am pretty fresh to the open source world as a contributor, and even Replyke didn't begin as open source, so I'd appreciate any input!

New OS for my android

Greetings. I have a question to ask. I would like to change my mobile's OS (my current one is android) as my phone is pretty old but I want to squeeze a bit more life out of it but I feel all of the bloatware and my phone no longer receiving updates is slowing it down. I have a Xiaomi Redmi note 9. Do any of you know any mobile OSs that support a ride hailing app (preferably Bolt or Uber) and WhatsApp?

What if Linux Had Its Own Power BI Desktop? Open-Source Project Idea

Hey ,

So, after countless hours of frustration trying to get Power BI Desktop to run smoothly on Linux, I finally had that lightbulb moment:

Why not just build a proper alternative for Linux users?

That’s how this idea started — building an open-source, Linux-friendly alternative to Power BI Desktop.

Instead of fighting with workarounds, we could have a tool designed from the ground up for our ecosystem. And I’d love to build this together with the community.

Do you think Linux needs its own BI tool?

What features would you like to see if this project takes off?

Would anyone here be interested in contributing (coding, design, testing, ideas) ?


If this resonates with you, let’s start shaping this project as a community effort

Cross-platform RSS readers?

Looking for a good, cross-platform (specifically Android, Windows and Linux) RSS reader. Preferably FOSS, but paid open-source is fine too. Android app is a must (or at least a really really good PWA), but web-based reading is totally cool for Windows and Linux as long as everything syncs. May be open to self-hosting, but not trying to sink a bunch of time into getting things up and running.

I totally thought that something like this would exist, but searching for one has made it feel like I've been looking for a unicorn so far. Does anyone have any recommendations?
