Is anyone working on an open-source tool that automates apps visually instead of relying on DOM/control trees?

so i've been messing around with different automation frameworks lately, and it feels like everything in the open-source world is still heavily tied to DOM hooks, accessibility layers, or Win32 control trees. that's fine until you hit a hybrid desktop app, or something with a weird UI stack, and suddenly half the selectors or element IDs don’t exist. I’m honestly wondering if anyone is experimenting with a more visual approach, like automation that looks at the screen itself, understands what’s there, and interacts with it the way a human would. Not computer vision from 2008, but something modern and usable.
If there’s an OSS project heading in that direction, would love to check it out or even contribute if possible :)

Considering creating an open-source version of my paid software

I’m planning to release an open-source version of software I currently sell. The goal is to make it maintainable, useful for developers, and easy to self-host. Ideally, I’d like it to get some traction and build a community around it. I’m looking for insights on common challenges, best practices, and what works well when converting paid software into open source.

Any experiences or lessons learned from doing something similar would be really helpful.

LOCAL DEVELOPER BUILDS PRIVATE DIARY AGAINST THE CLOUD INVASION

Hey folks,

hope you’re all building something cool today. I wanted to share a small/tiny project I recently finished something simple, personal, and built with the mindset of privacy-first instead of data-harvesting-first. so I created a local-first, web-only personal diary that requires absolutely nothing to use. No authentication, no accounts, no tracking, no cloud sync, no external storage, just open it and start writing immediately. your words stay exactly where they should: on your device. idea started when i was tired of diary apps asking me to sign up just to type my own thoughts. i didn’t want an account. I didn’t want email reminders or analytics dashboards. i wanted something that felt human, quiet, and mine. so I decided to build it , began with a rough base using Lovable to prototype the editor quickly, but once I felt the direction, i dove in manually to shape the landing page and overall experience. I wanted it to feel like flipping through a real journal like old newspaper cuttings scattered on a desk so i experimented a ton with floating hover animations, layered paper-cut textures, and a slightly chaotic but warm layout. It took much more time than expected, but honestly, every hour paid off when I saw the final look.

includes a writing area that feels like a blank notebook, a separated daily journal section for everyday logs, and a “Writer’s Notes” space for thoughts, drafts, or anything that doesn’t fit the calendar format. Everything is stored locally in the browser, completely private, nothing ever leaves your machine. Close it, reopen it, everything remains intact.


this is fully open source and you can check this on github If you’re curious, want to contribute, or just want to see how messy experiments evolve into something meaningful, I’d love your feedback.

This little diary project reminded me why I love building software....

Help needed with updating Refreezer ( newbie)

Hi, I'm new to Coding and been using open source apps for quite some time. I'm trying to make new apk file of the project Refreezer which is client for deezer. I noticed that last built apk in releases is year ago and since then lots of changes have been made to the project.

I'm trying to build new apk using GitHub actions but got stuck because it fails on one point. I'm trying to fix. If anyone want to help me here is the fork link:

Resync — Terminal-First Goal Tracker

Just wrapped up my semester and jumped straight into interview prep. I wanted to set goals and track down my progress during my free time but current platforms were slow and distracting, making task logging a pain.

So I built Resync—a full-stack goal tracker designed for my workflow, featuring two synchronized interfaces. To see an overview of progress at a glance, I also made a progressive web app that works offline.

Check it out: GitHub

It’s completely open-source—any stars, feedback, or contributions would mean a lot!

Looking for open source contributors for Quark, an AI browser agent that lets anyone customize websites with natural language

I’m looking for developers and contributors who want to help build Quark, an open source Chrome extension that turns every website into something you can customize or automate with plain language.

The goal is simple: there should be one powerful browser extension that gives users the ability to reshape and extend any website without needing to code. Instead of hundreds of single-purpose extensions or one-off usernoscripts, Quark is meant to be the open platform that works everywhere.

What users can ask Quark to do:
• Add missing features to websites
• Remove or modify UI elements they find annoying
• Extract product or dashboard data in one click
• Connect legacy web tools together by making them talk through captured APIs

How it works:
• It inspects and categorizes the site’s network traffic to learn its internal APIs
• It understands page structure and actions via DOM analysis
• It generates JavaScript using OpenRouter models and injects it on the fly
• It supports iterative prompting so users can refine customizations over time

Why I built it:
I wanted something that gives users the power of extensions and automation without needing to build custom noscripts every time. Modern web apps are closed systems and Quark opens them back up. I also think there is huge potential in automating workflows inside legacy web software that companies are stuck using today.

Tech stack:
Chrome Extension MV3, React, TypeScript, Tailwind, Zustand, Vite, CRXJS

What contributors can help with:
• Better UI and usability for the side panel
• More reliable and tested noscript generation
• Security and permission model improvements
• Documentation and onboarding examples
• Performance and stability work
• Preparing it for Chrome Web Store release

Repo:
https://github.com/hvardhan878/quark-browser-agent

If this sounds exciting, I’d love to have you contribute. You can open an issue, jump into a feature, or just try it and share what breaks. Even small improvements are very welcome.

Let’s build a tool that gives users real control over the web again.

Alternativa a repairdesk

Tal cual como dice el titulo busco una alternativa a Repairdesk, eh visto erpnext y hasta odoo pero no me convencen, quiero es ver el sistema erp mas sencillo que conozcan para algo pequeño de 1 a 5 trabajadores con inventario de venta y repuestos, con servicio tecnico que internamente se le pueda asignar las reparaciones al tecnico o cambiar de tecnico, al tecnico le permita dejar comentarios de reparacion, evidencias fotograficas o documentos y seleccionar la pieza usada en caso de tenerla, descontarla del inventario , debe llevar el proceso desde que se recibe el equipo hasta que se entrega , para el cliente debe permitir imprimir un ticket de servicio modificable para temas legales y que sea tipo contrato que se pueda modificar, el cliente una vez repara podra enviarle un correo, un mensaje o whatsapp, permita gestionar los clientes con ventas inmediatas o creditos que se les da a los clientes en reparaciones, repuestos o insumos, poder clasificar los clientes y hacerles seguimiento de compra para dar descuentos, premios o bonificaciones y una parte de precotizacion es decir un lugar donde se coloque el modelo de equipo, repuesto y de el precio final al cliente ya sea que el repuesto se compre o se tenga en stock , manejar lista de proveedores para estimar precio de repuesto segun historico de compra o de stock, para saber los meses que subio o bajo el precio del repuesto, no busco algo echo asi sea un solo programa op proyecto o varios, que sea lo mas facil de gestionar , instalar


No busco esto ya solucionado solo busco para ver si existe actualmente una opcion opensource realmente y sencilla si no para ver el por que y sus limitaciones ya que veo que estan saliendo muchos software nuevos que protene hacer todo esto pero suscripciones muy costosas o que tratan de hacer programas tan genericos que dejan de lado la personalizacion de lo requerido y leyes

What is the right license for my open source project?

Hi, I am building an AI dev assistant[1\] and plan to open source it so solo and indie devs can use it, tinker with it and self host. We rely on a lot of open source tools and I want to give back.

But I am unsure if that will lead to low effort SaaS clones. My sense is that a copyleft license like AGPL can limit that, but I am not sure if I am overthinking it.

Would love to hear thoughts from the open source community on how to navigate this.

Common Ground: An open source Discord alternative

Hey everyone!

After four years of development, the day has finally come: Today, we have published all code of the Common Ground platform under AGPLv3 license. Common Ground is a browser-based Open Source Alternative to Discord (but also much more than that).

We offer a rich set of features:

Create Communities with Roles and Permissions
Customize Community membership requirements (password, questionnaire etc.)
Community chat channels and DMs
Voice- and Videocalls (Full HD), Broadcasts, Event Scheduling
A feature-rich plugin system that allows embedding any website or browsergame, with bi-directional communication between plugin and platform. Plugins can also be shared between communities.
Community articles, with a global article feed
Progressive Web App support: Can be installed as a PWA, with Push Notifications and Offline availability (works on all Desktop devices, Android, iOS, and also more niche operating systems)
Community and platform email newsletters
Native blockchain integrations (for all EVM chains): Currently supports ERC20, ERC721, ERC1155, LSP7 and LSP8 for gated roles

We also created multiple plugins as a showcase (mostly MIT or LGPL licensed):

A boilerplate plugin to quickly get started
Web-assembly version of Luanti, an Open Source Minecraft alternative (which is really great) - now also comes with p2p support (host a game right in your browser), save game persistence and much more
Web-assembly version of Sauerbraten, a Quake-like Open Source Shooter
A forum plugin for discussions
An airdrop and vesting plugin for simple token distribution

Our goal is to build a fully open social infrastructure that still offers the convenience and well-known patterns of platforms like Discord (e.g., that Users can easily create their own "servers"), while being open and accessible for anyone to self-host, adapt and modify. It's a problem that most of society is connected through a small number of big tech players that are not well-aligned with the interests of an open society, but instead strive for maximizing financial gains and influence.

For us, a new chapter begins today: We're now building in public, and invite everyone to join us on this journey. Let's re-claim the social web together - come join our Common Ground community on app.cg to get in touch! And here's our Github repository \- check it out and let us know what you think!
