Looking For A Project Management Tool That Can Future Scale

Hi,

So currently I am self-employed, it's early days for my business and it's not yet bringing any income in, the joys of delayed development to produce something to sell.

Anyway, at the moment it's just me, one day I forsee hiring others. I currently use MS Project 2021, TickTick, MS Office 2021 and a bunch of other development tools. All of this was either free or a one time purchase to keep subnoscription costs out of the mix given the financial position I'm in.

It's fairly clunky and unwieldy. I've been looking at alternatives but can't seem to find one that works.

To begin, I have a windows laptop I work off. No server.

I do game development.

So I am looking for a tool that can provide issue/task tracking, bonus if it can integrate with github. Time tracking would be nice because I have to do it manually and add it to MS Project by hand. I find gantt charts help significantly when it comes to managing tasks and timelines. Anything else is kinda a bonus but those are the main features I use a lot and heavily.

I love lots of the open source options but many want a docker install to linux which doesn't work for me. I'm somewhat technical but I am also trying to not make my workload harder here. Lots of the online options either lack features in the free version or don't have a free version at all.

So I'm wondering if anyone can suggest something that can help? I'm open to paying down the road for more option but currently looking for something that works now and I can scale later when or if I need to.

My setup works now but it's not great and I also find the MS Project interface overwhelming. Powerful but overwhelming and so I'd love to hear what your suggests are for alternatives. Thanks.

Vocabulary Flashcards Generator

Hi, this is a simple web app, it generates flashcard based on what you type and download it to your device for later learning. No AI, no framework, just pure HTML/CSS/JS. I use it a lot recently for my learning and hope it'd be useful for everyone else.

Live demo: [https://vocabulary-flashcards.pages.dev](https://vocabulary-flashcards.pages.dev)
GitHub: https://github.com/orezeno22/vocabulary-flashcards

Any feedback is welcome 😊

What’s the best open-source alternative to Manus?

I really liked Manus since it feels like a true general-purpose dynamic workflow maker. Unlike a lot of the tools that just call augmented LLM workflows “agentic,” Manus actually felt closer to that idea.

The only issue is that it runs out of credits too fast and doesn’t quite feel the same outside of the demo.

Is there any open-source solution that comes close to this? I’d love to explore options and maybe do a write up on the most upvoted ones!

Drumlabooh LV2/VST3i drum machine 11.0.0 is out

Drumlabooh - https://psemiletov.github.io/drumlabooh/

Drumlabooh is a VST3i/LV2 plugin that supports Hydrogen and other format drumkits. This release features not just some fixes and an upgrade to the new JUCE version, but also provides a new implementation of kit-defined mute groups. It works for Hydrogen, SFZ, and Drumlabooh XML kit formats. The automatic hi-hat muting still works if no other mute groups are defined in the kit file.

Heave, persisting objects into a sqlite db as EAV entities

First time poster here, sorry. I just wanted to let you know I've just published a little project of mine: Heave.

It's a library that allow your custom structs to be turned into entities and persisted inside a sqlite db. Very useful for small little projects that need data persistence and also want to avoid full-fledged database or serialization to text files.

Should you want to give it a look you can find it here: https://github.com/katekorsaro/heave

Any contributions would be very welcome. And thank you again for your time! Cheers!

A FOSS email warmup noscript

This is my first FOSS project. I searched for a simple email warming service but couldn't find any for free. So I built one, tested it for a week and have successfully warmed up my email domain. So I'm open sourcing it now.

Check it out. Meanwhile I'm building jotchats.com, give my project some love too.

I made an app to fix mice that have double / triple clicking issues

https://github.com/grahas/DebounceMyMouse


I built this because I had a Razer Naga Pro that failed on the scroll wheel and failed on the scroll wheel click. Whenever I would browse the internet and use the middle mouse button to open a new tab it would open three. When I used the middle mouse button to close a tab it would triple close adjacent ones. I made this to help fix that issue.

What does "open-source health" really mean?

Most consumer health apps (Apple Health, Google Fit, Garmin) are closed ecosystems. Data may be exportable, but it's not really yours. It's siloed, monetized, or hardware-locked.

In our nonprofit research institute, we've been asking, "What would a truly open-source health tool look like?".

Transparent code
Interoperable standards
Privacy by design
Data sovereignity for the individual

I'm curious to hear which open-source health projects inspire others? And what safeguards do you think are the most important?

Ebook Operating System

Has anyone heard of an ebook OS in production? I'm looking for an OS that works like a Kindle or Kobo. I assume you'd have to jailbreak a tablet and install this OS.

Developing a ROS 2 package for TEMAS – feedback welcome

Hi everyone,

We’re excited to share that we’re currently developing a ROS 2 package for TEMAS!

This will make it possible to integrate TEMAS sensors directly into ROS 2-based robotics projects — perfect for research, education, and rapid prototyping.

Our goal is to make the package as flexible and useful as possible for different applications. That’s why we’d love to get your input:

Which features or integrations would be most valuable for you in a ROS 2 package? Your feedback will help us shape the ROS 2 package to better fit the needs of the community.

BIG NEWS: Oxbow UI is now free & MIT! Tailwind CSS & Alpine JS blocks and components.

Hello everyone, so this has happened last week. We decided to make Oxbow UI Free and MIT license because we are going to expand this big time. Every one of our 427 Tailwind CSS & Alpine JS blocks are open for you all to use.

Get them here

How things are as of now.
The repository is open., but can not accept still any PR, because we have not cleaned up the repository and we have things that goes nowhere, but we will let you know soon as is open so you can contribute or do anything.

While you are free to fork, I aware of the slop on the repo right now, so if you have time to navigate through the mess...feel free to fork it. Oh and the documentation, only has pages for the buttons and for the colors, we did not have the time to craft more.

The plan
We are crafting a design system, that then it will be used on Oxbow, so we will clean up all the blocks and use that design system, hence why is not open for PRs, we don't want you to put time for nothing.

What can you do in Oxbow UI:

1. Copy and paste the blocks 2**. Change between theme:** dark mode , system and light blocks. In dark mode, you copy only classes so it looks like dark mode. In light mode you copy only the light mode clases, y system, you copy both, light and dark clases.
2. Download the blocks
3. Open the blocks in a new window

What we have done so far.

TRIP - Map Tracker & Trip Planner

Hey everyone 👋

Just wanted to drop by with a quick update on TRIP, my minimalist Points of Interest (POI) tracker and Trip planner. Over the past weeks, I've shipped a handful of new versions with various improvements and fixes, and the project is slowly but surely evolving thanks to feedback from the community.

TRIP is about:

Managing your POIs directly on a map, with categories and metadata (gpx, dog-friendly, cost, duration, etc.)
Planning your adventures in a structured table (think Google Sheets, but with a map right next to it)

Screenshot. It's free, open source, telemetry free, and will always be this way.

You can check out the project on GitHub: TRIP

If you give TRIP a try, I'd love to hear your opinion and how you'd use TRIP or what you feel is missing so far (and what is not so bad!).

Thank you for your time!
