🎯 I built tools I needed — now I'm sharing with all

Hey folks,

Over the last few months, I found myself constantly pausing to solve the same annoying problems while coding — the kind of things that slow you down but never feel big enough to warrant a full-blown tool. So... I built them. And now I’m sharing them for free, in case they help you too.

1. 🖼 vscode-screenshotify

Ever needed to share a clean snippet of code on Twitter or in docs?

I was tired of switching to Carbon or clunky browser extensions, so I made this extension right inside VS Code.

One click → beautiful screenshot of your code. Zero config, super light.


2. 🔄 dhara

I find it super frustrating that in 2025 I need to juggle btwn different techniques just to send files to my pc to phone or from phone to desktop. Either mail, or telegram or any other 3rd-party site that stores your file to their cloud.

Hence, I made a CLI tool that solves this with just quick QR code scan you can send, recieve with just a command. Modern solution for Modern folks.


And because I apparently hate free time, I’ve started building something new:

3. 🔥 An open-source heatmap CDN for frontend devs
It’ll be a plug-and-play noscript you drop into your HTML. No tracking creepiness, no selling data. Just a lightweight way to see where users are clicking and how they’re interacting with your frontend — perfect for indie devs or small teams without $$$ for Hotjar.




---

These projects are totally open source, no paid tiers, no BS. I'm just a dev scratching my own itch and hoping it helps others too. If any of this sounds useful, I’d love feedback, PRs, or ideas!


Let me know if you’d use the heatmap tool — trying to gauge whether to open that up early 🙌

Cheers!

After trying 15 productivity apps, I built my own (open-source)

I love productivity tools, but after years of trying Google Calendar, Todoist, Evernote, Notion, Trello, TickTick… none fully worked for me.



So I built my own open-source project:

Three item types: notes, tasks, folders – all in one place

Flexible hierarchy: folders within folders, drag-and-drop, undo/redo

Natural RTL + LTR text support (auto-detected per line)

Cross-device reminders + fast sync

Rich text editor with secure image uploads, multilingual search



It’s not “the next big app,” just something that solved my pain points — and maybe it can help others too.

The repo is public, and I keep a roadmap of future features (\~45 planned).

Would love feedback from other makers: what’s the best way to grow an open-source productivity project?

Open source cellular concrete mixer.

We could use some help. I've been going on this for 14 months. I'm self funded. The only thing likely to give us trouble is the transfer pump arrangement. https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenSourceAircrete/

If this looks like something you would like to be involved with, we need a technical writer.We've written 120 pages of research about residential cellular concrete techniques. You would be proofreading final drafts for syntax mainly. We also need someone who understands materials science to save us time on pump design (have to avoid shear in the material). I have project money to pay for qualified help. We need graphic design help too.

Building an open-source Bitcoin vault with time-delays & recovery — looking for beta testers

Hey everyone 👋

We’re developing an open-source Bitcoin Vault that aims to solve a long-standing problem: how to keep funds safe not only from online hacks but also from real-world coercion.

The design combines:

2-of-3 multisig as the default spending path
Time-delayed transactions (2h–15d), enforced on-chain, so the owner has a reaction window
A trustless recovery path after 1 year, even if co-signers disappear
Support for QR-based hardware wallets (SeedSigner, Passport, Keystone, Jade)

Right now, the full code isn’t public yet — we’re still going through security reviews. But we’re opening up a free beta test to get feedback on usability, UX, and design choices before the wider release.

👉 If you’d like to try it out, you can leave your email at https://bitvault.sv to join the beta.

This will always remain an open-source project, and early testers will help shape how it evolves. Any thoughts, critiques, or ideas from the open-source community are very welcome 🙏

I built a security-focused, open-source AI coding assistant for the terminal (GPT-CLI) and wanted to share.

Hey everyone,

Like a lot of you, I live in the terminal and wanted a way to bring modern AI into my workflow without compromising on security or control. I tried a few existing tools, but many felt like basic API wrappers or lacked the safety features I'd want before letting an AI interact with my shell.

So, I decided to build my own solution: GPT-CLI.

The core idea was to make something that's genuinely useful for daily tasks but with security as the top priority. Here’s what makes it different:

Security is the main feature, not an afterthought. All tool executions (like running shell commands) happen in sandboxed child processes. There's a validator that blocks dangerous commands (rm -rf /, sudo, etc.) before they can even be suggested, plus real-time monitoring.

It’s fully open-source. The code is on GitHub for anyone to inspect, use, or contribute to. No hidden telemetry or weird stuff going on.

It’s actually practical. You can have interactive chats, use powerful models like GPT-4o, and even run it in an --auto-execute mode if you're confident in a workflow. It also saves your conversation history so you can easily resume tasks.

I’ve been using it myself for things like writing complex awk commands, debugging Python noscripts, and generating Dockerfiles, and it's been a huge time-saver.

Of course, it's ultimately up to each individual to decide which coding assistant they choose. However, from many tests, I've found that debugging, in particular, works very well with GPT.

I'd genuinely love to get some feedback from the community here.

You can check out the repo here: https://github.com/Vispheration/GPT-CLI-Coding/tree/main


Thanks for taking a look!

Proposal: Human Content Compensation Protocol (HCCP) — looking for feedback & contributors

Open source and the open web made the modern Internet possible. But now AI companies are training on that shared commons—code, docs, blogs, datasets—and commercializing it at scale without giving anything back. If that continues unchecked, the long-term sustainability of the commons is at risk.

The Human Content Compensation Protocol (HCCP) is an early-stage proposal to address this. The idea is straightforward:

Human access remains free, with content creators continuing to monetise their work as they like.

Agentic AI systems that crawl, train, or generate from content should be required to pay.


The draft combines three layers:

Licensing — to clearly separate human vs. AI use.

Technical enforcement — agent detection, signed requests, decentralized identity.

Economic mechanisms — micropayments, pooled settlements, bulk licensing.



The intent is not to close the web, but to create a fair standard—something like robots.txt or Creative Commons for the AI era. The hope is that it could be implemented in open source projects, documentation, and platforms so that compensation mechanisms are baked in, not bolted on.

Request for support
This is early and experimental, so it needs critique, improvement, and participation from the open source community. Developers, maintainers, lawyers, and anyone interested in protecting the sustainability of shared knowledge:

Protocols like this only work if they’re built and shaped in the open. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Made a small patch

Ahem.. everyone.

I have made a small open-source dylib that makes GoFetch way harder to use but doesn't mitigate it (obv it's to Apple to release a REAL mitigation).

It is only for MacOS yet (being that the nature of the patch is that it's a dylib) and personally I may have plans for the future (but uncertain) to port it to Asahi I guess...

But to try to limit it.. I have made a small dylib that tries to hint to the MacOS scheduler to use efficiency cores (E-cores) which aren't affected by GoFetch for the current process and adds some jitter to make timing less precise, disrupting this side-channel attack which relies on high-resolution timing to infer data.

The E-core trick may or may not work since it's just a hint and the scheduler is responsible for the final decision.

WARNING. This is only intended to serve as a sort of temporary trick to make the bar higher for GoFetch exploitation before Apple releases something way better for M1/M2.

Here it is (however must be compiled): https://github.com/Izgip/GoFetch-Mac-Mitigation/tree/main

You can now maybe ask for how to use it or whatever questions related to the patch:

I Want to Make the Most Beautiful, Aesthetic, Free and Open-source Platform for Learning Japanese

The idea is actually quite simple. As a Japanese learner and a coder, I've always wanted there to be an open-source, 100% free for learning Japanese, similar to Monkeytype in the typing community.

Unfortunately, pretty much all language learning apps are closed-sourced and paid these days, and the ones that *are* free have unfortunately been abandoned.

But of course, just creating yet another language learning app was not enough - there has to be a unique selling point. And then I thought? Why not make it crazy and do what no other language learning app *ever* did - add a gazillion different color themes and fonts, to really hit it home and honor the app's original inspiration, Monkeytype?

And so I did. Now, I'm looking to find contributors and testers for the early stages of the app.

Why? Because weebs and otakus deserve to have a 100% free, beautiful, quality language learning app too！

P.S. You can check it out and see if the project is potentially worth anything at --> https://kanadojo.com (the Github repo is right there too!)

How do I start opensource?

I have tried looking at popular projects but they are either something that i can't understand at all or if i do fine something that i can do such issues are already assigned.

I want to find a beginner friendly place where I can get issues easily. Kindly guide me.
