Blogr v0.2.0: Added Obsidian Theme Support (Thanks Reddit!)

I've added Obsidian theme support to Blogr, a Rust-based static site generator. You can now use any Obsidian community theme CSS to style your blog.

# How it works

It's pretty straightforward:

# Switch to the Obsidian theme
blogr theme set obsidian

# Grab any Obsidian community theme (example: the popular Minimal theme)
curl -o static/obsidian.css https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kepano/obsidian-minimal/HEAD/obsidian.css

# Build and deploy
blogr build && blogr deploy

# About Blogr

Blogr is a fast static site generator written in Rust that focuses on simplicity and developer experience. It builds quickly, includes a terminal editor with live preview, and deploys to GitHub Pages with a single command.

Project: https://github.com/bahdotsh/blogr

Install: cargo install blogr-cli

The theme system is designed to be extensible, so additional theme integrations are possible based on interest.

My opensource sms gateway just crossed 10k users

About a year ago, I shared a small project here: an open-source SMS gateway that lets you send/receive texts using any android phone.

Today, it just passed **10,000 users**

Some fun stats:

* \~5 million SMS sent & received so far
* Users across 90+ countries
* 2k+ github stars and counting

I built this because I wanted a cost-effective alternative to twillio or other sms APIs. Turns out a lot of people here wanted the same thing.

If you haven’t tried it yet, you can check it out here:

Open Source Vetters: Audit my E2EE location sharing app?

Hi /opensource

So we're a two person team behind a FOSS app called Grid, offering private and E2EE location sharing on Google and Apple stores (with self hosting also available - our website here). For our backend, we're currently using Matrix Synapse. Little background: We created the app in response to growing personal anger watching our privacy and data being increasingly exploited and infringed upon. We wanted to start contributing to ethical tech that aims to preserve and protect our rights vs being exploitative for profit.

We're open source (github here) and looking to find some folks who have some spare time who would want to audit us! We're fully transparent and want this project to be a tool that provides genuine value to the folks who use it by making it the best version possible.

Some things we have on the docket of our upcoming roadmap: Twilio alternative/remove need for phone number altogether, SOS features, Aurora store compatible version, more testing with GrapheneOS for improved compatibility, and more.

If you're someone reading this and you don't have time or don't want to audit us, please do check us out and let us know what you think! We welcome all questions and suggestions!!

Termo - SSH Client for Windows

Hey folks 👋

I’ve been working on a side project called Termo, and I think some of you might relate to why I built it.

At work, I often have to manage a ton of different connections, and believe it or not, many of them still rely on plain old passwords 😅. The existing Windows (MobaXterm,mRemoteNG...) tools out there just weren’t cutting it for me — they feel outdated, packed with features I don’t need.

So I decided to build something that matched what I was looking for:

⚡ Fast and simple — I just want to connect quickly without 10 extra steps

🎨 Modern user experience — closer to today’s software standards

🖥️ Lightweight but reliable — no unnecessary bloat, just what’s needed

🔓 Open source — built with Tauri (Rust backend, Vue + Tailwind frontend), so you can dig in or contribute

For me, the main goal was making connections easy, fast.

If that sounds useful to you, check it out here 👉 https://github.com/seon22break/Termo

Would love to hear what you think — whether it’s feedback, ideas, or just “hey this works/this sucks.” Any contribution helps!


This is a alternative to mRemoteNG,MobaXterm...

I built a comprehensive, multi-language guide to all 22 GoF Design Patterns (with examples & templates in 9 languages) in the form of github repository

Hi folks 👋

I’ve been diving deep into software architecture and design patterns, and I noticed most resources are either too academic or language-specific. So I built a comprehensive, code-driven repo covering all 22 Gang of Four (GoF) Design Patterns, implemented in 9 different languages. https://github.com/ragulnathMB/Modern-Design-Patterns--by-RN

🌱 OpsiMate – an early stage open-source project to simplify infra management

Hey everyone,

I recently joined a super welcoming and helpful community : OpsiMate, an open-source project aiming to simplify infrastructure management.

The idea is simple but powerful: instead of juggling a dozen monitoring tools, scattered dashboards, and manual processes, OpsiMate wants to give teams one unified, intelligent platform to monitor, manage, and optimize infrastructure.

It’s still in a very early stage, but that’s what makes it exciting—we’re at the point where contributors can shape the direction of the project. The maintainers are incredibly supportive, and I’ve already learned a lot just being part of it.

If you’re into DevOps, infra, or just love building things in the open, we’d love for you to check it out:
🔗 GitHub repo: https://github.com/OpsiMate/OpsiMate
💬 Website : https://www.opsimate.com/

We’re especially looking for feedback, ideas, and contributors who want to get their hands dirty—whether that’s code, docs, or just sharing thoughts on what would make infra management less painful.

Would love to see some of you there and grow this together 🚀

Advice for hosting documentation page

For a couple of months already I've been working on an open-source backend for a User Generated Content system. So far everything regarding the documentation has just been on the README file, but the projects is growing to the point where I am feeling the need to host a webpage for it.
My question is, What are you using for make the documentation page? And secondly, How are you hosting it?

We DIDN'T do it! EU Chat Control

We literally just lost Belgium, the country that described Chat Control as a “monster that invades your privacy and cannot be tamed”.

And more countries in undecided (which generally means they will vote yes, once they get some stuff they want in exchange).

Which essentially means open source software will be in effect banned throughout the EU. I would have thought this would be a bigger issue for people, but surprisingly it doesn't seem to get much attention. Especially given the whole plan won't actually work to catch more than a handful of very careless criminals and is obviously just intended to put infrastructure in place to expand the scope to terrorism and then "extremism" and anti government sentiment within a couple of years.

Meanwhile all the real criminals will just download the non EU versions of everything.

TrailBase 0.18: Open, Single-Executable Firebase Alternative Switches from V8 to WASM Runtime

TrailBase is an easy to self-host, sub-millisecond, single-executable FireBase alternative. It provides type-safe REST and realtime APIs, auth & admin UI, ... and now a WASM runtime for custom endpoints in JS/TS and Rust (with more to come). Everything you need to focus on building your next mobile, web or desktop application with fewer moving parts. Sub-millisecond latencies completely eliminate the need for dedicated caches - nor more stale or inconsistent data.

Just released v0.18. Some of the highlights since last time posting here include:

A WASM runtime for strict state isolation, higher-performance endpoints, multiple guest languages, ...check out our [article](https://trailbase.io/blog/switching_to_a_wasm_runtime).
The built-in Auth UI is now shipped as a separate WASM component. Simply run trail components add trailbase/auth_ui to install.
Official [TanStack/DB](https://tanstack.com/db/latest/docs/overview) integration 🎉
Official Go client.
A new experimental transaction API for bulk record operations.
Many more improvements and fixes (UIs, stricter input parsing, file uploads, ...)

Check out the live demo, our GitHub or our website. TrailBase is only a few months young and rapidly evolving, we'd really appreciate your feedback 🙏

Windows with open source tools?

Hi!

I'm getting a new computer soon, mainly for work and gaming on Steam.

Does it make sense to install open source tools, or does it make no sense since the operating system is Windows?

Anyone want to take a stab at creating Card Games for the visually impaired?

Hi all you clever coders. If any of you is looking for a little project to hone your skills, I may have an idea for you.

TL;DR If you want to work on a game project that would help low-vision players enjoy their favorite old card games, I would love to discuss it with you. I've done some research and this doesn't seem to exist yet. I'm not a coder but I am a software researcher so I can help with requirements and design. I may be able to pay for your time if you're not too expensive.

BACKGROUND

I have an 84 yo aunt with macular degeneration. When she's not writing detective fiction or working on a jigsaw puzzle, she loves playing cards on her PC. I've done everything I can to make the cards more visible for her, but the accessibility settings in the game and in Windows just aren't enough.

RESEARCH

For example, check out the screenshots from Microsoft's Accessible Solitaire app: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9pdftxxrkb2f?hl=en-US&gl=US

Notice how the top cards are all super visible and easy to read.

But look at the lower cards - the ones under the top cards. For anyone with low vision, these can be really hard to see. But these cards are just as important for playing the game as the top cards are. And this is in an app directly aimed at people with low vision. Honestly I don't know what they were thinking.

The same is true in every card game app I've tried. Even the gold standard Hoyle Card Games really misses the mark here. They do have some high visibility decks but these suffer the same issues of poor visibility for lower cards and no options for setting suit colors, print colors, background colors, or print sizes.

RS Games is a good project with a similar goal but it has some big issues:

you must have an account
you must log in
it's geared more toward multiplayer

What's the project?

Start with an open-source card game or start from scratch.
Keep this open-source for the community.
Create an app that includes a variety of traditional card games (e.g. solitaire, spider, spades, hearts, canasta, euchre, crazy eights, Oh Heck, scaramouche, etc.).
This seems like the hardest part, but I really don't know.
Enable users to set:
suit colors
print color
background color
print size
card size
the overall resolution of the game
Use responsive design rules to display the user-adjusted cards in a pleasant way (e.g. breakpoints, relative distances, etc.).
Provide a built-in magnifier that follows the mouse and can be easily toggled on/off by a single keystroke.
Enable users to change settings of the magnifier:
magnification level (2x, 4x, etc)
shape of lens (e.g. square, circle)

Enable screen readers to read the cards (perhaps a future enhancement).



Things that might make you want to do this

There is no deadline.
No networking or online play.
No fancy graphics required (they actually hurt more than they help).
No special audio required (maybe generic sounds from an open-source library?)
