I’ve been building an open-source backend platform called Nuvix

Hey folks,
I’ve been working on a project for a while now called Nuvix – it’s an open-source backend platform built in TypeScript, kind of in the same space as Appwrite or Supabase, but with a different philosophy and structure.

The idea behind Nuvix is to give developers a backend that’s flexible like NoSQL, powerful like PostgreSQL, and developer-friendly out of the box. It’s designed to make backend architecture feel modular instead of monolithic.

Here’s what makes it different:

Three schema types:

Document Schemas – NoSQL-like structure where you define attributes and indexes (no SQL needed, great for quick prototypes).
Managed Schemas – PostgreSQL schemas that automatically handle permissions, RLS, and CRUD policies. You get SQL power with built-in security.
Unmanaged Schemas – Raw PostgreSQL for full control, no automation — perfect if you know what you’re doing.

All three share the same API structure, so you can mix and match as your project grows.

It’s built in TypeScript using NestJS, PostgreSQL, Redis, and BullMQ under the hood.
There’s a Next.js-based console for managing everything, and the SDK is also written in TypeScript.

On top of the database APIs, Nuvix also includes:

A Storage API with support for chunked and resumable uploads
A Messaging API for SMS, email, and push notifications
An Auth system for users and teams, with support for multiple login methods

Currently, I’m working on improving the documentation and polishing things up before expanding the SDKs.

If you’re into backend systems or like working with TypeScript and databases, I’d love any feedback or suggestions.
The repo is here: https://github.com/Nuvix-Tech/nuvix

How do I get started with open source

I am a graduating college student as of now and would love to build my profile by contributing to open source, since I have been using tools like fedora (linux) and many other open source alternatives to applications like libreoffice and many more how do I start my journey with FOSS applications and be of help to other senior developers. Thanks for giving me any tips in advance :D

How can one make money contributing to open source?

I have the skills to contribute to open source or even launch my own projects. But i don't have the time.

This isn't particularly about me, i'm just setting myself as an example. How can we have open-source if the contributors get nothing in return for their free work?

Most get nothing. The ones who do barely get enough. Only those who are supported by big entities like big companies make a living. But these projects are few and so are the maintainers of these projects.

You all have been relying on open source for years. How much have you donated?

How does one donate? I personally am unaware. Do i just go to a contributor's GitHub profile and donate from there? Who says that that will help continue the project i want?

Looking for a lightweight open source reader that supports a bunch of file types (without bloat or paywalls)

Hey folks,

I’ve been trying to find a good all-in-one reader that can handle a bunch of file formats — PDFs, ePubs, maybe even comics or docs — without being bloated or constantly nagging for a premium version.

I’m not asking for anything crazy, just something open source, lightweight, and clean that actually focuses on reading instead of packing in “AI assistants,” “cloud sync,” or other stuff I’ll never use.

Any recommendations from people who’ve tried a few? Bonus points if it runs well on Linux and Windows.

Thanks in advance 🙏

We just released a multi-agent framework. Please break it.

Hey folks!

We just released Laddr, a lightweight multi-agent architecture framework for building AI systems where multiple agents can talk, coordinate, and scale together.

If you're experimenting with agent workflows, orchestration, automation tools, or just want to play with agent systems, would love for you to check it out.

It's super fresh, so feel free to break it, fork it, star it, and tell us what sucks or what works.

Certifying open source projects as Blazingly Fast™

Hello, all

A few weeks ago I found out the domain **blazingly.fast** was available… and I couldn’t resist.

So I built this site that certifies any submitted project as officially Blazingly Fast™, no benchmarking required.

Just submit your repo, tick “Yes,” and join the official Hall of Speed, complete with a badge that makes everything appear 12% faster.

It’s a lighthearted tribute to open source creativity, and to our collective love of performance claims.

No ads, no sign-ups, just fun.
Would love to see more OSS projects represented ⚡️

Is there any way to install another os on a smart tv

I have a 2017 Samsung smart tv which is only used to display my desktop and since Samsung TVs hate windows desktop, it has quite some bugs when connected...

So what I wish to do is turn it into a regular display much like a monitor so that it would turn off when turning off the pc, not have to switch the input each time I want to use it, etc...

If it's not possible to turn it into a monitor it would be cool to at least install a custom os so that I can play around with using wake on lan and home assistant if it's possible.

Please don't tell me to just use it as it is I just want to know if it's possible and that's it

Building a platform that pays open source contributors

Hey all! This has been a long time passion project of mine for about 7 years now and the whole reason I became an engineer in the first place and I think I'm finally ready to open it up --- the whole concept here is to have a marketplace like Amazon where everyone who buys / sells / builds on it gets a correlating % of profit share

We have a small team now that works on it in their spare time and a lot of the MVP is built but I desperately need help from more engineers/community managers etc

I really think we could get this live in a few months with some really motivated or dedicated individuals.

I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on this because I'm still figuring out exactly how to quantify/qualify contributions and perfect the onboarding and I'd love for it to be a community decision

Why doesn’t open source products stay free forever?

Is it the idea that tools can gain traction by starting out as a free-for-all product, in which then the founders want to capitalize on the success? What about those who contributed to the success? Do they get paid regardless of how big/small the feature/hours they spent?

Looking for Dual Licensing options for Open Source Hardware

I’m currently planning the next version of my open source hardware project, which is a high voltage DC/DC converter licensed as CERN-OHL-W-2.0.

I know that there are people are willing to pay for fully assembled and tested hardware. But the current version has some shortcomings which cannot be easily solved, making a complete overhaul necessary.

For the next version I expect around 1000 hours of work for development and testing. But as I make the design much simpler, it also makes it much more interesting for companies to replicate it.

So for the next version I want to use two different licenses, a free license which does not allow commercial use and a payed license which allows it.

Currently all of the CERN-OHL licensing options allow commercial use. I found that the [TAPR Noncommercial Hardware License](http://www.tapr.net/OHL/TAPR_Noncommercial_Hardware_License_v1.0.pdf) is the closest to what I'm looking for, but on their website it is listed as deprecated. I read, that the TAPR license has a lot of issues and there are some points I do not agree with.

So I got three questions:

* A) Are there any other licenses which disallow commercial use?
* B) Is it wise to modify an existing license? Like the CERN-OHL modified for non commercial use. And how should I name this, because this wouldn't be CERN's anymore but still uses most of their license?
* C) Some people argue, that restricting commercial use makes it not open source. For me, open source means that the source is openly available to everyone, which would be still the case. Only making profit from it would be restricted. What is your opinion?

Open-Source AI Memory Engine

Hey everyone,

We are currently building cognee, an AI Memory engine. Our goal is to solve AI memory which is slowly but surely becoming the main AI bottleneck.

Our solution involves combining Vector & Graph DBs with proper ontology and embeddings as well as correct treatment of relational data.

We are always looking for contributors as well as open feedback. You can check out our GH Repo as well as our website

Happy to answer any questions
