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.

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:

Ai assistant extension open source

I want to use an ai assistant like the one offered in Colab. It should provide completions. In pycharm. But the one there is not open-source. I want the plug in that I install to be open source to make sure it doesn't access other files.

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.

Library Compose Shape Fitter – Shape Approximation from Points in Kotlin

I’ve been experimenting with geometry + Kotlin and put together a small library called Compose Shape Fitter.

It takes a sequence of points (for example, from touch input) and can either:

Draw them directly inside a `DrawScope`
Or approximate them as a shape (currently: Circle, Ellipse, Triangle, Square, Pentagon, Hexagon, Oriented Bounding Box).

Introducing Molecule UI v1

# Introducing Molecule UI

We are happy to introduce Molecule UI v1. https://www.moleculeui.design/

Molecule UI is built on the idea of making animated component easily accessible to the developers.
It is built on top of the Shadcn CLI to make distribution streamlined. Animation are handled using Motion and CSS animations. Tailwind is used for styling and radix UI for accessibility.

Instead of just giving you building blocks Molecule UI aims at providing plug and play, component and blocks. We aim to provide every required section for a APP.

Such as
\- Hero Sections
\- Login Pages
\- Chat list
\- Chat UI
\- React Flow Component
\- Plug and Play Rich Text Editor
and many more in coming days.

As of now in v1 we have following component Live
\- Accordion
\- Checkbox
\- Warp Dialog
\- Discussion
\- Expandable Button
\- Voice Input
and 10 more Ready to use components

We are a open source project under MIT license and looking for contributors. If you are interested take a fork of our repo and start creating amazing things. https://github.com/molecule-lab/molecule-ui/fork

Open Source Chatting App?

Is there any open source chatting app that allows full customization? For isntance it needs to fulfill some requirements, so here they go:

\- It needs to support at the very least android

\- It needs to have some sort of encryption to avoid leaking the contents of the messages

\- It needs to have the server and client open source, since I want to add new features on top of it

\- Having some kind of resource that helps modifying the code would be good but not mandatory.
