Hey I have a idea for a app for apple or android

App Idea: A Screen Time App That Fights Back (Difficulty-Based Challenges)

Most screen-time apps just nag you or block apps after you’ve hit a limit. That works… if you don’t cheat. But what if using your phone was more like playing a game on “easy, medium, or hard”?

The idea:
• When you install the app, it reads your past screen time and assigns you a difficulty mode.
• Easy if you don’t use your phone much.
• Medium if you’re a heavier user.
• Hard if you’re glued to it.
• Each mode sets how many hours you can use apps per day.
• Every time you open an app, you face a challenge overlay before you can continue:
• Easy → Hold a button for 1 minute.
• Medium → Beat an impossible Tic-Tac-Toe bot.
• Hard → Play a full game of chess.
• If you pass your daily limit, the app still lets you play the challenge — but afterwards it just laughs and says “you’re over your limit 😂.”

Extra features could include:
• MDM profile option (like Opal) to make the app undeletable for stricter users.
• A lighthearted design so it feels like resistance training instead of punishment.

Why it’s different:
• Instead of just blocking, it eats into your time with challenges.
• Heavy users automatically get put on “hard mode,” so it scales with your habits.
• It’s funny, a little brutal, and feels more like a boss fight than a nagging parent.

Would love to see someone make this, especially as an open-source project so it can stay free and grow.

Advice for Beginner Contributors?

Hello everyone,

I am a recent computer science graduate looking to strengthen my project portfolio and begin to make contributions to open source projects. Ideally, I would love to work with something I am passionate about, but I want to find a nice place to start. What advice, if any, would you give to a beginner contributor? I also wish to continue my work on my own personal projects and am interested in creating something that is open source.


Thank you!

Looking for a Bubble Tea Go Library Contributor to Collaborate on TUI UI

Hi everyone,

I'm working on the backend for a project and want to create a TUI in Go using Bubble Tea. I'm looking for someone who is experienced with Bubble Tea to collaborate with — I can handle the backend, and they can help with the UI.

If you're interested in working together or have experience with Bubble Tea, please reach out! Would love to build something great with community help.


Thank you!

license understanding. for commercial purposes

GPL v3

AGPLv3

GPLV3 - MIT

Apache 2.0 ref 4.1

Apache 2.0 ref 5.1


Can someone explain to me the differences in these from a commercial use point of view, for a project. Using tools that have these licenses in different versions.

A while back, I posted about an all-in-one networking tool I was building. Thanks to your feedback!

Some of you might remember my post about a personal project I was working on to stop the endless juggling between PuTTY, Nmap, subnet calculators, and a dozen other apps. The feedback was awesome and really motivated me to keep pushing.

Based on the initial ideas and what I needed, here's what Ducky can do now:

Multi-Protocol Tabbed Terminal: Open as many tabs as you need for SSH, Telnet, and Serial (COM) connections. No more multiple PuTTY windows!
Real Terminal Experience: The terminal has command history (up/down arrows) and tab completion for common network commands. Backspace and arrow keys finally work just like you'd expect.
Network Discovery & Mapper: A tool that scans your local network and creates a basic visual map of all the devices it finds.
Essential Network Tools:
Ping, Traceroute, Port Scanner
Website Status Checker
IP Lookup (GeoIP/ASN info)
DNS Lookup (A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT records)
Hostname <-> IP Converters
Essential Security Tools:
Vulnerability Scanner: Look up any software (like "Apache 2.4.51") to find its known CVEs from the NIST database.
Password Strength Analyzer: Instantly check how strong a password is.
Hash Calculator & Cracker: Calculate MD5/SHA hashes and run a basic dictionary attack.
And More: A dockable notepad, customizable themes, saved session manager, etc.

This is where I need your help!

The project is fully open-source on GitHub, and I'm looking to build what the community actually needs.

Got a Feature Idea or an Enhancement?
Found a Bug or something that feels clunky?

Please, head over to the **GitHub Issues page** and let me know! No idea is too small, and every bug report helps make the tool better for everyone.

Link to the full project on GitHub: https://github.com/thecmdguy/Ducky

Finally, I'm developing this in my free time. If you find Ducky useful and want to support its future development, you can buy me a coffee. It's never expected, but always deeply appreciated!

How do you prioritize contributions from community vs. strategic roadmap needs?

Open source projects often juggle community requests and long-term direction. What frameworks or rules help you avoid getting pulled in too many directions?

Text to Speech Free Open-Source Code

Hi,
I tried searching GitHub for a text-to-speech project, but I couldn’t find anything suitable.
Do you have any tips? Maybe you know of some open-source code that could help me.
I also checked a few APIs, but most of them aren’t very affordable.

For anyone interested in a Window Switcher in the form of a Pie Menu

I love the pie menus in Blender and I got fed up with switching to the wrong window when hitting Alt+Tab, so I made something to replace it in the form of a pie menu: MightyPie Revamped. It has the benefit of not needing the taskbar as well (except for the Tray).

I also built in a lot more functionality like media control, maximizing/minimizing windows under the cursor and more.

This is now the second iteration of my program: https://github.com/Rayzorblade23/MightyPie-Revamped

A quick look in video form is also available: https://youtu.be/Cxv8lRyN28s

Let me know what you think.

I built Torrentino — one-click movie torrent finder

I’ve always been annoyed at how **cluttered and unreliable torrent sites** are.
Searching for a movie = ads, pop-ups, fake buttons. I just wanted something faster and cleaner.

So I built **Torrentino** → [https://torrentino.tech](https://torrentino.tech)

* One-click verified torrent downloads
* Clean, ad-free interface
* Smarter indexing algorithm for better search accuracy

**Stack:** React (frontend) + Flask (backend), containerized with Docker + deployed on [Fly.io](http://Fly.io) \+ frontend on Vercel.

This is an MVP — I’d love thoughts from fellow builders:

* How would you extend this? (multi-source scraping, subnoscripts, related movies, caching, etc.)
* Any feedback on SEO/distribution?

Campfire (the self-hosted group chat) just became free and open source!

Hi!

DHH (co-founder of Basecamp) announced yesterday that they're making their group chat software open source (MIT licensed) and free for everyone to use. This is fantastic news, especially considering this piece of software previously required a $299 payment just to access the codebase (far too expensive, in my opinion).

It looks like we now have another excellent open source alternative to Slack and Microsoft Teams, thanks to this move. I really hope more companies will follow this trend soon.

What are your thoughts?

Who has a Open source self hostable video and voice chat that can integrate with phones and with linux computers. I know that nextcloud has an option but i was wanting more options with less bloat and overhead if anyone knows of any and has experience with them your opinion would be greatly appreciated.
