Why isn't there any open source software for Twilio?

I'm searching for software that can utilize the Twilio API for sending messages. I considered setting up a Twilio account and using their dashboard, but I've heard that the dashboard is primarily designed for developers.

## Use case

I need to send messages to parents to remind them about meeting times and deadlines for permission forms, etc. This could involve groups ranging from 20 to 200 parents.

How "good" should a FOSS project's code be?

Hi all. I'm honestly a pretty bad developer, but I'd like to publish a decently sized FOSS project (\~50k lines) on GitHub because as badly written as it is, I honestly think it could be quite helpful to a certain subset of people. I wouldn't like to completely embarrass myself though — so I'd like to know, is it okay if my code is a little ugly? I've made it modular and maintainable to the best of my ability... but my ability is almost null.

Do most FOSS projects have beautiful code? Is it okay if some of my code is held up by duct tape and spaghetti?

Hypothetical question about allowing non-GPL usage of code added to a GPL project.

Let's say as an example, there's a GPL-licenced calculator app that can add and subtract numbers. I make a fork of this, and in my fork, I add a multiplication function.

Obviously, due to the GPL's requirements, my fork as a whole must also be licenced under the GPL. However, let's say I wanted to say "If you're using the project as a whole, or any of the code that isn't mine like addition or subtraction or the UI, you must follow the GPL. But you're also welcome to take my multiplication function and use it under the MIT licence instead."

Can this be done? How would one go about making this (a) valid and (b) practical?

This does not relate to anything I'm currently doing, but it has crossed my mind that I'd like to be able to contribute to GPL projects while allowing the use of my parts under a saner licence.

I created an LDAP Address Book Web UI

Hi all,

I had a need for a visually appealing address book with an LDAP backend so I created one. It's released under GPL3 and has a few features that may be appreciated by some;

\- `tel:` links for phone numbers
\- `mailto:` links for email addresses
\- Company card and list view; shows employees of that company in card or list layout
\- Company orgchart view; shows an organisational chart
\- Contact vcard download and QR code to add/export a contact to a local address book
\- Contact map; shows the contact's address on a map (OpenStreetMaps)
\- Caching of contacts which significantly speeds up browsing experience. Contacts are preloaded into cache to avoid direct ldap lookups. A background job will refresh the cache at configurable intervals and adding/updating contacts will trigger a one-time background job to trigger the refresh. Tested with an ldap backend with 24000 contacts loaded.
\- Various authentication options; local users (stored in a local database). SSO via LDAP, Authentik, Keycloak and/or Google.

Happy to hear any feedback/criticism/requests

Open Source LLM Agents & Ecosystem Handbook — 60+ agent skeletons, tutorials, and ecosystem guides for building with LLMs

Hey all 👋

I’ve been working on the LLM Agents & Ecosystem Handbook, an open-source project designed to help developers explore and actually build with large language models.

What’s inside:
- 🛠 60+ agent skeletons (summarization, research, finance, healthcare, RAG pipelines, voice, games, MCP integrations…)
- 📚 Tutorials: RAG, Memory, Chat with X (PDFs/APIs/repos), Fine-tuning (LoRA, PEFT)
- ⚙ Ecosystem overview: training frameworks, local inference setups, LLMOps, interpretability
- 🔎 Evaluation toolbox: Promptfoo, DeepEval, RAGAs, Langfuse
- ⚡ Agent generator noscript to scaffold new projects quickly

It’s meant as a handbook (code + docs + ecosystem insights) — not just a link list.
The goal: help devs learn by building, and take agents from prototype to production.

👉 Repo link: https://github.com/oxbshw/LLM-Agents-Ecosystem-Handbook

Would love feedback from the OSS community — especially around contributions, documentation, and new agent ideas.

Released a self hostable observability tool for all your automations

Just published FlowMetr, a flexible lightweight observability tool for all workflows and pipelines out there on github.

Use it within your devops pipelines, source code or workflow tools like zapier, make or n8n

Can be used by everything capable of sending http requests.

Features:

- Metrics. How long are automations running?
- Logs. What was happening in run x yesterday?
- Alerts. Get notified when something breaks
- Reports you can share with your Team or your clients

Would be happy about feedback, stars, issues and contributions

Open-source offline‑first multilingual translator based on ONNX converted MarianMT machine translation models.

https://github.com/harisnae/multilingual-translator-offline

Hosted on GitHub pages, no inference, runs entirely in the browser via @xenova/transformers. Loads the Ultra-light quantized model once, caches in IndexedDB, works without internet.
Currently supports 43 language pairs, I'm updating it to add more language pairs and list the English and non-English pairs separately. An important point, I I have currently set the max tokens to 256 (less than 200 words) so that it does not take long to translate.

Recovery Tool for Deleted APFS-snapshot and also for deleted files in general for macOS

Hi,

so unfortunately my APFS-snapshot got deleted (due to a restart initiated by a system software auto update) after half my home folder got deleted. Does anyone know of any open-source or at least free tooly/projecty to recover the deleted snapshot and also the deleted files of course. I generated an image, ran photorec, tried go-afps and afro (which both it seems are not functional at all). I am especially looking for pdfs, docx, txt, .py, (a lot of my academic work and also my academic library got deleted, also a lot of my programming projects) and also images (especially photos taken with an iPhone, so I guess they were .png?!). I would deeply appreciate it!

What is the go-to FOSS wiki hosting for videogames?

I want to start a wiki for a videogame that does not have it yet. After a previously common hosting, Fandom(.)com went through commercialization and enshittification, many videogame projects, like Minecraft, went the route of self-hosting. For it is a small game and I am not rich enough to rent a server and a domain for it, I cannot go this way.

When downsides of commercial aspects of GitHub were realized, Codeberg was created. Same with Mastodon/Bluesky to replace Twitter. Is there such a project to replace Fandom?

Postgres dominates the Metabase Community Data Stack Report 🐘

Just released our 2025 Data Stack Report with some interesting results from the database landscape.


PostgreSQL is absolutely crushing it, not only maintaining its lead as the top transactional database, but also emerging as the #1 choice for analytics storage.


Some standout findings:

PostgreSQL: 160 responses (nearly 3x more than MySQL at 56)
Traditional heavyweights like Oracle and SQL Server showing their age
27 people still say "I don't know" (we need to help them!)
MongoDB holding steady at 16 for NoSQL fans

Here is the full report for more insights about databases, data stacks, AI stuff, and what everyone's actually using these days.
