Built a Discord bot to track standup attendance because spreadsheets are for people with patience

Our team does daily standups in Discord. Every week someone asks "who's been skipping?" and I'd check my spreadsheet like it's 2010.

So I built Sir Standsalot - a bot that tracks voice channel attendance automatically and accepts async updates for people who think 9 AM is a war crime.

Does the boring stuff:

* Tracks who shows up to voice standups
* Reads async updates (Yesterday:/Today: format)
* Generates reports without passive-aggressive commentary (unfortunately)

Why the weird name? Team joke. The monocle was non-negotiable.

Open source, Python, works with Docker. Turns out I'm not the only one who hates attendance admin work.

If you're manually tracking Discord standup attendance, this might save you 10 minutes a week. Which you'll probably spend on Reddit anyway.

Anyone using Aiven for managed open source?

Just found out about Aiven, here's the link if you want to visit it AIVEN.IO, they run open-source stuff like Postgres, Kafka, Redis, and ClickHouse as managed services across AWS/GCP/Azure. They even have a “bring your own cloud account” option. Curious if anyone here has tried it, how’s the performance and cost compared to just using RDS/BigQuery/etc.?

I built RemoveMD.com – a google extension to clean up your files before them posting on social media.

Hey, do you remember me? I'm working on a small side project called RemoveMD — a privacy tool that lets you remove private data leaks from your files. This idea is not very original, but I wanted to create something open source, easy to use, and modern. After releasing the website and the local version, I’m now happy to announce that the RemoveMD Chrome extension is finally available
It allows you to access the tool directly from your browser, so you can clean your files before sharing them online — quickly, privately, and for free. RemoveMD is fully open source, with a local version you can host yourself (available on GitHub) — with no limitations and no ads.
As always, there are no ads, and accounts are completely anonymous — created from a hash, with no email required, and you can make as many as you want.

You can find the new Chrome extension here:

EzAntiAntiCheat

Hi everyone,

I’m working on EzAntiAntiCheat (NOT AN GENERAL PURPOSE PROGRAM), an open-source project designed for research and experimentation with kernel-level anti-cheat systems. Its purpose is to provide a safe framework for studying and managing situations where aggressive anti-cheat software interferes with each other, such as conflicts between Riot Vanguard and other anti-cheat platforms.

The project is fully open-source on GitHub: https://github.com/PalorderSoftWorksOfficial/EzAntiAntiCheat

I’m looking for contributors interested in: • Kernel driver development • System-level security research • Safe experimentation with software conflicts and aggressive protection mechanisms • Documentation, testing, and tooling improvements

Notes: • This project is intended purely for research and educational purposes. • It is not designed to bypass or disable anti-cheat systems for gameplay. • Improper use may render software unusable; please use responsibly.

Contributions, feedback, and collaboration are very welcome! If this post violates community rules please contact me instead of instantly banning me from the subreddit so i can fix the post from the issue! Extra Note: EzAntiAntiCheat completely wipes the anti cheat driver and if its gone the game might reinstall or crash as an fail safe. Please private message me on reddit to contribute.

stagDB: Open Source Database Manager for Postgres with instant branching

I'm a backend dev who has built out more than a fair share of scaled out products. The biggest pain point for me used to be testing with real data - which would invariably get polluted if I wasn't careful. Testing migrations was a pain.

To this end, I build stagDB with a superpower - instant data branching. Now, it's possible to test out migrations by creating a replica with filled-in data instantly.

I released it a few weeks ago, and looking for feedback. Please do try it and let me know.

Open source has been polluted.

Folks who used to update READMEs are now flooding projects with AI-generated PRs, begging for assignments, and spamming maintainers for approvals - without understanding a single line of code.
Maintainers deserve better.

Sorry to say, but 99% of these people are from a specific country.

Open source zip explorer with quick look support for mac

If you work with a lot of zip files but don't need to unzip the whole zip, then this project might help you. Grizzly comes with quick look support for each individual file, right inside the zip and has some pretty cool keyboard shortcutes as well. I tried searching for good and simple zip explorers but couldn't find a good one, so I built one myself. My colleague loves it, i guess you might find it useful.

BEEP-8: a browser-native fantasy console that doubles as a tiny OS + hardware lab

I built BEEP-8 to scratch two itches at once: the joy of retro consoles and the curiosity of how an OS, CPU, PPU, and APU actually work together. Everything runs in your browser (JavaScript + WebGL), and all the internals are open for inspection.

Highlights:

Open-source SDK (C/C++) on GitHub
Emulated ARM v4a-style CPU @ 4 MHz with 1 MB RAM / 1 MB ROM
WebGL PPU for sprites, BG layers, and single-color polygons
Namco C30–style APU fully emulated in JavaScript
Ships with a lightweight RTOS for threads, timers, and IRQs
Desktop & mobile, locked 60 fps

Why share here?

It’s a small, approachable codebase for folks curious about emulation, RTOS design, or graphics pipelines in the browser.
I’m looking for contributors and reviewers—good first issues include documentation, examples, tooling, and small PPU/APU features.

OSs For Old Phones

I'm planning on switching over to Samsung from Apple for my mobile device in the next year or so and one thing I was curious on was open-source OSs for old phones. I haven't done much research into this, but I found LineageOS as an open-source OS that sounded good. So, I'm curious what everyone's thoughts are on this topic. Is there a good go to open-source phone OS? Is it not worth it? Are there new projects in development? Let me know! Thanks!

Look for contributors

I made Xerus - a platform to create micro agents for everyday use. The structure is ready with some bugs but now I need help to extend it and make it more usable.

The thing which I am currently struggling with is MCPs / connectors. Adding lot of integrations is time consuming.

2. Web dashboard to directly use the agent in browser instead of desktop app.
3. Improving RAG pipeline for accuracy.
