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?

Ev_Ap - Event Attendance App Open Source

Hi, I just recently graduated as a Computer Science and I wanted to share this open source that I've been working on since I was in college.

[Ev\_Ap](https://github.com/TriangleBear/Ev_Ap)

I made this for my organization to lessen or completely not using papers in events. The main purpose of this is to automate the attendance by using a NFC card (a custom card that is given to members that joined the organization), instead of the members having to write their names in a piece of paper for attendance or register for an upcoming event, they will just tap the NFC card and get to the event.

The features are still in progress or partially working:
\- Registration of New Members
\- Creating Events (for automated attendance)
\- Marking Attendance
\- Exporting Data (Registration, Attendees, Members, Points of Member)

Please do check my repo and help me maintain, crash bugs, add features.
In advance, Thank you for the help.

RFC: If At First You Don't Succeed....

Requesting feedback and comments on my weekend opensource project. It's the first time I've ever created oss so be brutal. Also looking for pointers on great discord groups to post in to raise awareness.


https://github.com/marketplace/actions/ai-release-bot


I originally built an AI blog analyzer tool and launched with limited interest. Rebuilt it this weekend based on feedback into an opensource top level funnel tool for software projects. The goal is to gather all release details for projects and create a ready-to-post blog to help drive top level awareness for the project.


So far I've completed an MVP. It's tailored towards Rest based projects with an OpenAPI spec sheet as that's my primary workload as an engineer. The goal is to make it robust and dynamic to handle all types of projects. Also pull in better context about projects and changes.

An open-source alternative of Marker.io

Hey Guys, I'm building my first open-source tool.

It's a visual feedback tool that captures bug reports and UI feedback with maximum context and minimal user effort. Unlike traditional forms, it enables point-and-click feedback with auto-screenshots, logs, and integration into Slack. (Customer-first, not an Internal tool)

I am new to this. I need contributors and lots of advice, like:
How to track usage?
How to update?
How to maintain?

Also, I need feedback.

If you are a builder, please try!

I gain Experience, you get an app

Hi,

I’ve recently started developing small, practical software tools that I can personally use while also learning in the process.

Right now, I’m exploring ideas for software that isn’t readily available (or polished) on Linux but could be genuinely useful across platforms. If you have any recommendations for tools you’d like to see, I’d love to give them a try.

As a starting point, I’m planning to build a cross-platform clipboard manager. I know there are already many out there, but my goal is to replicate the simplicity and usability of the Windows clipboard manager as closely as possible.

Tech Stack🍔:

-Backend: Neutralino.js (lightweight, cross-platform)

-Frontend: React.js


Goals 🥅:

>Memory usage: < 20 MB

>Supported platforms: Windows, Linux, macOS


Thanks, and I’m open to suggestions for other useful software ideas too!


For fast readers 🏎️: I’m building lightweight cross-platform apps for learning — share your ideas, and I’ll turn them into useful tools!

Should I opensource my SaaS (MinuteMVP) or add affiliate marketing so I can focus on building other products?

Hey guys,

I built MinuteMVP - an AI tool that generates validated SaaS ideas with complete MVP blueprints in 5 minutes. It's solving real problems (85% of founders waste months in analysis paralysis), getting decent traction, but I'm facing a dilemma.

The situation:

Currently profitable but not life-changing money yet
I keep getting pulled into feature requests and optimizations
I have 10+ other SaaS ideas I want to build using my own tool
Spending more time tweaking MinuteMVP than building new products

Option 1: Open Source It

Release the code, build community
Focus my time on building other SaaS products
Potential for community contributions and growth
Risk: competitors could clone it easily

Option 2: Implement Affiliate Marketing

Add revenue streams through tool partnerships (Replit, development platforms)
Create passive income while I build other products
Keep it proprietary and controlled
Risk: might complicate the product

My real question: As founders, do you think there's more value in doubling down on one product or using a "portfolio" approach where you build multiple smaller SaaS products?

I'm torn because MinuteMVP could be bigger, but I also see massive opportunities in the niches it's revealing to me.

What would you do? Open source and move on, monetize differently, or just keep grinding on the one product?

Any insights from founders who've faced similar decisions?

Should we create an alternative to Android Auto ?

I think we should create a new Android auto that works for all apps. For example my modded YouTube music revanced app doesn't work on Android auto. I mean... they work but they don't have an UI visible in my car display. I need to play songs from my phone

SciBitHub, a collaborative citizens science platform

Hi everyone, I'm exited to share with you a project I created in the last months, its called "SciBitHub", its a website dedicated for creating and contributing to research projects that are open for everyone (collaborative research), a project has multiple tasks where each task could be data collection, data labelling or just a survey. The app also provides a space for scientific discussions and debates in different domains. The goal of this project is to facilitate access to science and research domain for everyone with no background needed (these kind of apps are very rare, one similar website is www.zooniverse.org).

The website was made using these technologies:

frontend: Next.js + Tailwind + ShadCN
backend: Supabase (Auth, Database, Storage)
deployment: Vercel (free tier)
file storage: Supabase Storage + MinIO (local)

Due to limits in experience and mainly in resources (100% free), the website has some limitations:

The file and dataset uploads are disabled in production (since datasets are expected to have a big size, only profile photos and cover images are stored in Supabase storage).
The project architecture and some technical choices may not be optimal since this is my first time working with these technologies.

For these reasons, I decided to make the project open-source and made the code public on GitHub, so if anyone of you would like to help improve SciBitHub, here's what I'd love help with:

file storage alternatives
UI/UX refinements
unit testing & performance optimization
internationalization (multi-language)

Any pieces of advice from experts are welcome whether it be about the code itself or about handling the open-source aspect (also first time for me).

You can find the GitHub repo here : https://github.com/MAY55A/SciBitHub

Live site : https://sci-bit-hub.vercel.app/ (some features are disabled due to mentioned limits like uploading files)

Let’s build something meaningful together for the science and dev community 🌱

Created this open sourced npm package just to deal with the responsiveness. Contributors are always welcome

Building responsive apps and showcasing them across devices can be a headache. Switching between different screen sizes, browser tools, and third-party emulators often slows down the workflow.

That’s why I built react-uiframe 🎉 – an open-source React component that makes it effortless to preview your app inside beautiful, realistic device frames (mobiles, tablets, desktops, and more). With a plug-and-play setup, you can drop in your app’s URL or component and instantly see how it looks across multiple devices – all inside your React project.

Why react-uiframe?

Easy device emulation inside your React app
Perfect for responsive testing & client demos
Lightweight, customizable, and developer-friendly
Great for portfolios, landing pages, and live previews

This project is fully open source and I’d love for you to try it, use it in your projects, and help make it even better. Contributions are more than welcome – whether it’s new device frames, performance improvements, bug fixes, or documentation enhancements.

I made Browser Use for mobile

Hey guys, I was thinking we can control computers and browsers with Agents (Compute Use, Browser Use), but we were missing the last layer: Mobile Use

So we built an AI agent that can perform any task on your phone like a human. Right now it's achieving 74.14% on the AndroidWorld benchmark, beating Google DeepMind, Microsoft Research, and ByteDance AI.

Next up, we're building custom RL environments and training our own models to push toward that 100% benchmark performance (background is in RL).

The code is 100% open source at https://github.com/minitap-ai/mobile-use

What would you use this for? I'm curious to hear your ideas.

Any feedback or contributions would be amazing, this is my first major open source project so I'm really excited!

Peersuite is a private, open source alternative to Discord or Slack.

Peersuite is a point to point chat program, instead of servers it has "workspaces" where everyone is connected together in a mesh network. This means nobody but you and your friends see what you're doing. All data streams are encrypted(AES-GCM) WebRTC streams.

When everyone logs off the workspace is destroyed, but you can download an entire session as an encrypted file that lets you restore everything from the chat.

Features:

chat with channels, PMs, image preview, and file send ( no size limit)
audio/video conferencing with ptt
screensharing
WHiteboard for drawing/diagrams
kanban for project management
collaborative document editing interface

You can run it on the web, or download for linux, windows, mac, and android from the github. You can also download a docker image from dockerhub to run a local instance ( the best way!)

I am working on a nodejs "server" ( it's a peer with some commands built in) that will allow you to keep a workspace up permanently.

It is 100% open source under the AGPL except for the trystero library which is MIT licensed.

I posted about it when I first opensourced it 3-4 months ago, there have been a TON of improvements since then! It is still under active development.
