Looking For Open Source Accounting software (I think?)

Good day all,

I run a sole proprietor business, have basically expenses and income, only for myself and that will never change. I'm looking for a software where I can input all my expenses and the income I generate and then it just prints out the totals for me that I can give to my accountant, I'm sure something like this is really simple but I don't know accounting or billing and I looked at GNUCash but couldn't figure out what I was actually looking at lol, I literally just want to hit "expense -> type expense, location and cost" and then hit "income -> type total, from where" and then at the end of the year I can give the totals to my accountant in a professional manner.

Built an open-source framework for testing AI agents with semantic validation

Hey everyone!

I've been building AI agents lately and kept running into the same problem: how do you test AI Agents?

I find that manually prompting the Agent for each release is tedious and not scalable, and AI-Evals are still complex to integrate.

To help with this I built an open-source testing framework that uses AI to validate AI endpoints: you define expected behavior and let an LLM judge if the output is semantically correct.

The LLMJudge returns a score (0-1) and reasoning for why it passed/failed.

I built a little landing page and playground to show you my idea (no signups): https://semantictest.dev

The playground runs real LLMJudge validation so you can see how the semantic testing works.

The code is completely open source and you can find extensive documentation here: https://docs.semantictest.dev

Would love feedback from you guys!

Thank you!

Marketing for Founders: practical resources to grow your project

Hi everyone! Over the last two years I had to figure out how to do marketing to promote my projects.

This meant doing a ton of research and reading a lot and, well… 90% of what you find on the topic is kinda useless, too vague and not actionable, with just a few exceptions here and there.

So I’ve started to collect the best resources in a GitHub repo. It covers topics like:

* Places To Launch Your Startup
* Social Media Marketing
* Sales & Cold Outreach
* SEO
* Email Marketing
* Content Marketing
* Ads
* Influencer Marketing
* Affiliates and Referrals
* Free-Tool Marketing
* Landing Pages, Messaging and Positioning
* Pricing
* Conversion Rate Optimization
* Idea Validation
* User Research



I’m trying to keep it as practical as it gets (spoiler: it’s hard since there’s no one-size-fits-all) and list everything in order so we can have a playbook to follow.

If you're interested you can find it here: [https://github.com/EdoStra/Marketing-for-Founders](https://github.com/EdoStra/Marketing-for-Founders)

Hope it helps!

[MIT] Tool to bulk-disable Reddit “Community updates” via Selenium attach (no credential handling)

I open-sourced a small utility to flip Reddit’s “Community updates” to **Off** across all subscribed communities. Motivation: doing it manually is tedious, especially with hundreds of subs.

**Why this approach**

* **Attach to existing browser** via DevTools (`--remote-debugging-port=9222`) so there’s **no credential handling** or API usage—just DOM automation of your own settings page.
* **Resilience**: full pointer/mouse sequence, JS click fallback, shallow shadow-DOM traversal, and state verification via `aria-pressed="true"`.
* **Diagnostics**: optional HTML/screenshot dump on failures.

**Stack**

* Python 3.10+, `selenium>=4.21`.
* Tested on Windows + Chrome/Edge (Chromium). Works elsewhere with small path tweaks.

**Repo / License**

* Code + README: [https://github.com/AarchiveSoft/redditCommunityNotifOffAll](https://github.com/AarchiveSoft/redditCommunityNotifOffAll)
* License: MIT. Issues/PRs welcome—particularly for cross-platform launch helpers, deeper shadow-DOM cases, and CI smoke tests.

If Reddit adjusts the UI, selectors are centralized and easy to tweak. Happy to review PRs for broader locale support and stability improvements.

Built FoldCMS: a type-safe static CMS with Effect and SQLite with full relations support (open source)

Hey everyone,

I've been working on FoldCMS, an open source type-safe static CMS that feels good to use. Think of it as Astro collections meeting Effect, but with proper relations and SQLite under the hood for efficient querying: you can use your CMS at runtime like a data layer.

1. Organize static files in collection folders (I provide loaders for YAML, JSON and MDX but you can extend to anything)
2. Or create a custom loader and load from anything (database, APIs, ...)
3. Define your collections in code, including relations
4. Build the CMS at runtime (produce a content store artifact, by default SQLite)
5. Then import your CMS and query data + load relations with full type safety

# Why I built this

I was sick of the usual CMS pain points:

- Writing the same data-loading code over and over
- No type safety between my content and my app
- Headless CMSs that need a server and cost money
- Half-baked relation systems that make you do manual joins

So I built something to ease my pain.

# What makes it interesting (IMHO)

**Full type safety from content to queries**
Define your schemas with Effect Schema, and everything else just works. Your IDE knows what fields exist, what types they are, and what relations are available.

```typenoscript
const posts = defineCollection({
loadingSchema: PostSchema,
loader: mdxLoader(PostSchema, { folder: 'content/posts' }),
relations: {
author: { type: 'single', field: 'authorId', target: 'authors' }
}
});

// Later, this is fully typed:
const post = yield* cms.getById('posts', 'my-post'); // Option<Post>
const author = yield* cms.loadRelation('posts', post, 'author'); // Author
```

**Built-in loaders for everything**
JSON, YAML, MDX, JSON Lines – they all work out of the box. The MDX loader even bundles your components and extracts exports.

**Relations that work**
Single, array, and map relations with complete type inference. No more `find()` loops or manual joins.

**SQLite for fast queries**
Everything gets loaded into SQLite at build time with automatic indexes. Query thousands of posts super fast.

**Effect-native**
If you're into functional programming, this is for you. Composable, testable, no throwing errors. If not, the API is still clean and the docs explain everything.

**Easy deployment**
Just load the sqlite output in your server and you get access yo your data.

# Real-world example

Here's syncing blog posts with authors:

```typenoscript
import { Schema, Effect, Layer } from "effect";
import { defineCollection, makeCms, build, SqlContentStore } from "@foldcms/core";
import { jsonFilesLoader } from "@foldcms/core/loaders";
import { SqliteClient } from "@effect/sql-sqlite-bun";

// Define your schemas
const PostSchema = Schema.Struct({
id: Schema.String,
noscript: Schema.String,
authorId: Schema.String,
});

const AuthorSchema = Schema.Struct({
id: Schema.String,
name: Schema.String,
email: Schema.String,
});

// Create collections with relations
const posts = defineCollection({
loadingSchema: PostSchema,
loader: jsonFilesLoader(PostSchema, { folder: "posts" }),
relations: {
authorId: {
type: "single",
field: "authorId",
target: "authors",
},
},
});

const authors = defineCollection({
loadingSchema: AuthorSchema,
loader: jsonFilesLoader(AuthorSchema, { folder: "authors" }),
});

// Create CMS instance
const { CmsTag, CmsLayer } = makeCms({
collections: { posts, authors },
});

// Setup dependencies
const SqlLive = SqliteClient.layer({ filename: "cms.db" });
const AppLayer = CmsLayer.pipe(
Layer.provideMerge(SqlContentStore),
Layer.provide(SqlLive),
);

// STEP 1: Build (runs at build time)
const buildProgram = Effect.gen(function* () {
yield* build({ collections: { posts, authors } });
});

await Effect.runPromise(buildProgram.pipe(Effect.provide(AppLayer)));

// STEP 2: Usage (runs at runtime)
const queryProgram = Effect.gen(function* () {
const cms = yield* CmsTag;

// Query posts
const allPosts = yield* cms.getAll("posts");

// Get specific post
const post = yield* cms.getById("posts", "post-1");

// Load relation - fully typed!
if (Option.isSome(post)) {
const author = yield* cms.loadRelation("posts", post.value, "authorId");
console.log(author); // TypeScript knows this is Option<Author>
}
});

await Effect.runPromise(queryProgram.pipe(Effect.provide(AppLayer)));
```

That's it. No GraphQL setup, no server, no API keys. Just a simple data layer: `cms.getById`, `cms.getAll`, `cms.loadRelation`.

# Current state

- All core features working
- Full test coverage
- Documented with examples
- Published on npm (`@foldcms/core`)
- More loaders coming (Obsidian, Notion, Airtable, etc.)

I'm using it in production for my own projects. The DX is honestly pretty good and I have a relatively complex setup:
- Static files collections come from yaml, json and mdx files
- Some collections come from remote apis (custom loaders)
- I run complex data validation (checking that links in each posts are not 404, extracting code snippet from posts and executing them, and many more ...)

# Try it

```bash
bun add @foldcms/core
pnpm add @foldcms/core
npm install @foldcms/core
```

In the GitHub repo I have a self-contained example, with dummy yaml, json and mdx collections so you can directly dive in a fully working example, I'll add the links in comments if you are interested.

Would love feedback, especially around:

- API design: is it intuitive enough?
- Missing features that would make this useful for you
- Performance with large datasets (haven't stress-tested beyond ~10k items)

TrustMesh - Open-source reputation layer for AI agents (FastAPI + Python)

Hi r/opensource!

Just open-sourced TrustMesh - a reputation system for AI agents using Bayesian statistics.

What it does: Provides portable trust scores for autonomous AI agents. Think "GitHub stars for agents" - helps evaluate reliability before interactions.

Why it matters: Google's A2A protocol enables agent-to-agent communication, but there's no standard trust layer. This fills that gap.

Tech:

FastAPI backend
Bayesian trust engine (Beta-Binomial modeling)
Python SDK
SQLite (planning PostgreSQL)
MIT licensed

Looking for:

Contributors (especially for TypeScript SDK, web dashboard)
Feedback on the trust algorithm
Integration ideas

GitHub: https://github.com/ashishjsharda/trustmesh

Just launched today - early stage but functional! Check out the API docs at /docs after running locally.

Questions welcome!

Introducing GenosDB: a P2P Graph Database with Built-In Zero-Trust Security

Hi everyone,

I want to introduce GenosDB (GDB), a project I’ve been building. It’s a peer-to-peer, modular graph database designed from the ground up to embed zero-trust security directly into the data layer.

This is not just “another database.” GenosDB is an experiment in combining distributed systems, cryptographic identity, and fine-grained access control into a unified framework where trust is enforced at the edge — without central servers.

# 🔍 The Problem It Tries to Solve

Peer-to-peer systems have always faced a central challenge: how can peers trust each other without relying on a server or central authority?

Typical decentralized apps often end up cheating: they use a P2P database for storage but fall back to centralized servers for identity, authentication, and permissions. That single point of control undermines the decentralization.

GenosDB tries to address this by designing security into the core database engine: every peer, every operation, every role check is verified independently. The network is held together not by trust in servers, but by cryptography and a shared constitution of rules.

[Watch the video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srSmcNLWMus)

# 🧩 Core Architecture

GenosDB is a graph database where data is stored as nodes and edges, and peers can synchronize updates in real time. On top of that, it provides:

* P2P Synchronization – Each instance can connect to others over WebRTC or relays, exchanging updates and applying them locally.
* Eventual Consistency – Updates flow asynchronously, but cryptographic checks guarantee that only valid, authorized changes are accepted.
* Reactive Queries – Peers can subscribe to queries and get real-time updates as the graph evolves.

But the real innovation is the Security Manager (SM), which is not an add-on but an integral part of the architecture.

# 🔒 The Security Manager (SM)

The SM enforces a zero-trust model at multiple levels:

# 1. Identity Management

Every user is an Ethereum address backed by a private key. No passwords are involved. Private keys are protected by:

* WebAuthn – biometric devices, hardware security keys (phishing-resistant).
* Mnemonic phrases – for recovery and portability.

This means authentication is both decentralized and resistant to common attacks.

# 2. Operation Signing and Verification

Every database operation is signed by the user’s active key. When a peer receives an operation:

1. It verifies the signature (authenticity and integrity).
2. It checks the sender’s role and permissions.
3. It rejects the operation if either fails.

Unsigned or tampered operations never enter the system.

# 3. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

A hierarchy of roles (guest, user, manager, admin, superadmin) defines permissions like read, write, delete, assignRole.

* Role assignments are stored inside the graph itself, synchronized like any other data.
* Roles can be customized at initialization.
* Authority flows from superadmins, who are defined in the initial configuration.

# 4. Access Control Lists (ACLs)

For more granular control, ACLs can be attached to nodes. For example, a document can explicitly list which peers may read or write it. ACLs are enforced alongside RBAC, so both conditions must be satisfied.

5. Secure Data Storage

When a user stores data through the SM, it is automatically encrypted with a key derived from their identity. Only the rightful owner can decrypt it.

# 🚪 The Zero-Trust Entry Model

One of the hardest problems in zero-trust systems is the bootstrap paradox: how does a brand-new user even join the network if they have no permissions yet?

GenosDB’s solution is a single welcome exception:

* A new address is allowed exactly one operation — creating its own identity node as a guest.
* The system overwrites any attempted role with guest (preventing privilege escalation).
* After that, the user is limited to minimal permissions (read, sync) until promoted by a superadmin.

This creates a secure, one-way entry point. No
shortcuts, no backdoors.

# 🕸 The Distributed Trust Model

Trust in GenosDB is not delegated to a central server. It emerges from three principles:

1. Cryptographic Identity and Signatures Every action is signed. No one can impersonate another.
2. Shared Constitution Rules (roles, permissions) are encoded in the SM and shared across all peers. They are not arbitrary — they are uniform and verifiable.
3. Local Enforcement Each peer checks operations independently. Even if one peer is compromised or malicious, others enforce the rules and reject invalid operations.

This makes the system resilient: a rogue client cannot rewrite its local code to cheat, because other nodes will still reject unauthorized actions.

# ⚖️ Consistency and Security

GenosDB favors security over availability. For example:

* If Bob is promoted to admin by a superadmin, but a lagging node hasn’t received the promotion yet, Bob’s delete operations will initially be rejected.
* Once the promotion arrives, those operations are accepted.

This ensures no operation is accepted without verifiable proof, even if it delays availability slightly.

# 🌍 Why It Matters

Most “decentralized” systems still centralize identity and trust. GenosDB demonstrates that:

* A database itself can carry identity, access control, and trust as first-class citizens.
* P2P apps can enforce zero-trust security without needing external servers.
* Collaborative systems — from shared documents to social platforms to multiplayer games — can be built on a substrate where every action is verified cryptographically.

In short: it’s a database where security is the foundation, not an afterthought.

slop - minimalistic display manager (replacement for login)

Hi everyone,

Recently, I decided to ditch the GUI display manager in favor of the TTY login. However, I was unable to configure the login program the way I wanted so I've decided to build my own.

Introducing [slop](https://github.com/spevnev/slop) \- Simple Login Program.
It is a replacement for getty and login designed to be minimalistic and simple.

Unlike login, which prints a bunch of extra info (date, issue, hostname, motd, etc.), it only displays what is needed for authentication (i.e. prompts from the PAM modules).
Also, it doesn't print an empty line before the prompt like [agetty does](https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/blob/db0efab5c3e13794ae79fcb3db8371e3af510169/term-utils/agetty.c#L1831).

Features:

* Focus the TTY
* Set command to run on successful login, e.g. `startx`, or a wayland compositor.
* Clear screen after failed attempt
* Set noscript above the prompt
* Predefine a username

Hope this helps someone who wants a simple TTY login.
