I built eziwiki - a simple way to create beautiful documentation sites from Markdown files.

I kept needing docs for my side projects, but.. GitBook/Docusaurus felt like overkill and I wanted something that "just works"

Live demos

\- Blog example: https://eziwiki.vercel.app

\- Self-documenting-landing-page: https://i3months.com

Built with Next.js 14, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Zustand

Can someone review this new open-source YouTube channel blocker "FilterTube" for safety? I cant read code... (Im a smooth brain)

Hey everyone

I have been searching forever for a functional YouTube channel blocker. I heard about BlockTube, but people say its unreliable now. Today I found a brand new extension called "FilterTube"

Reddit post (from the developer): https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1pbm7qj/created\_a\_youtube\_content\_filter\_to\_block/

GitHub: https://github.com/varshneydevansh/FilterTube

Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/filtertube/cjmdggnnpmpchholgnkfokibidbbnfgc



It has no reviews, and seems extremely new.

I have zero clue about code, browser APIs, or extension permissions, so Im hoping someone here can look at the source code and tell me:

\-Is it safe to install?

\-Does it access anything it shouldnt (passwords, cookies, accounts, etc)?

\-Does it send data to any external servers?

\-Any red flags in the code or manifest?



Im pretty cautious with unknown extensions, especially ones with no reviews.

If this thing is legit and safe, I would love to use it, and recommend it, since it seems like a small solo developer project.

Thanks in advance! Please be nice, Im totally clueless when it comes to code. And I want it to be 100% safe, before I can recommend it to others.

Angie's list but for open source developers?

Is there a platform like fiverr/Angi's list specifically for open source developers?

Not a bug bounty program, but a platform where small businesses can hire open source developers and pay them for time spent (vs. Subnoscription to a product)

PoG - the first open, live, privacy-first AI media provenance registry

I’ve just shipped the first fully functional open alternative to closed corporate AI watermarking system on Base.

Repo: https://github.com/TamTunnel/PoG

It includes an invisible watermark and an on-chain receipt in just five lines of code.

The dual hashes (exact and perceptual) ensure that the watermark survives compression and edits.

The system maintains full creator anonymity, displaying only a random wallet address.

Verification is tiered, ranging from strong to weak and none.

The system adheres to the OpenAPI specification and provides a TypeScript client in a single command.

A live contract, Python client, verifier, tests, and documentation are all included.

C2PA is mostly future, commercial tools are closed and expensive.
PoG is Apache 2.0, deployed today, costs ~$0.001, and you can verify any image with a single drag-and-drop.
Gasless relayer coming Q1 2026.
Looking for contributors on the relayer, browser extension, and getting ComfyUI/A1111/InvokeAI to ship it by default.

Would appreciate if you can star ⭐️ the repo to help gain momentum!

State of Open Source Survey

Hello! Disclaimer: I'm employed by Perforce OpenLogic.

Calling all open source professionals.


Perforce OpenLogic and our partners Open Source Initiative (OSI) and Eclipse Foundation, are seeking insights from OSS users worldwide to produce a comprehensive report on open source usage and emerging trends.


The more responses we get, the more accurate and valuable the final report will be for the entire open source community.

We'd love your input! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FYZGRNM

I can share the report with the community once it's produced in the spring.

A small reflection on contributor flow inspired by a FaceSeek comment.

While organizing a set of issues for an open source project, I recalled a FaceSeek conversation about how newcomers often feel hesitant to take the first step unless the path looks welcoming. With that in mind, I rewrote a few denoscriptions to make them more approachable and less intimidating. It didn’t change the technical depth, but it made the project feel more human. It reminded me how vital clarity and warmth are when building a community-driven space. These small shifts often help contributions grow naturally over time.

JSON based tool for prototyping/mocking APIs

Hey everyone!

I just finished my first open source project called RustyJSONServer, a lightweight mock API server that uses JSON configs and a tiny noscripting language to define dynamic or static responses.

It supports inline or external noscript files, splitting configs across multiple files, hot-reloading, and can even act as a structured sandbox for generating backend logic with AI tools. I also created a small VS Code extension to go with it.

I’d love to get feedback, ideas, or criticism. I know there is still lots to improve..

SlideStage

Hey everyone, I built SlideStage to record slide presentations with a webcam overlay and live subnoscripts—all without uploading anything. It’s a free, open-source tool that runs completely in your browser – no login, no cloud. Just open SlideStage, click record, and present!

Key Features:

100% In-Browser: No downloads or installs; runs entirely on your device.
All-in-One Recording: Captures your slides, webcam video, and live captions together.
Privacy-First: No data is ever sent to a server.
Free & Open Source: Totally free to use and modify (see GitHub).

Think of it like an open-source alternative to Loom for slide decks. I’d love to hear your feedback or answer any questions! Check out the demo and source code on GitHub. Cheers! 🙌

GitHub - necdetsanli/EyeRest: A lightweight Windows tray application that helps you follow the 20–20–20 rule by reminding you every 20 minutes to rest your eyes and look into the distance.

Hi everyone,



I’d like to share a small open-source project I’ve been working on: EyeRest, a Windows tray application that helps you follow the 20–20–20 rule for eye health:



Every 20 minutes, look at something about 20 feet (\~6 meters) away for at least 20 seconds.



I spend a lot of time in front of a screen (coding, studying, etc.) and kept forgetting to take short eye breaks, so I built a tiny tool that quietly reminds me in the background.



What EyeRest does



\- Runs quietly in the system tray (notification area).

\- Shows a desktop notification when it’s time to rest your eyes:

\- Uses Windows 10/11 toast notifications when available,

\- Falls back to a classic tray balloon if toasts aren’t supported.

\- Uses a configurable interval (default is 20 minutes).

\- Optional left-click toggle on the tray icon:

\- Normal icon when reminders are active,

\- A “snoozed” icon when reminders are off.

\- Small Options dialog to:

\- Enable/disable reminders for the current session,

\- Adjust the reminder interval,

\- Enable or disable left-click toggling.

\- An About window with version and author information.



The goal is to keep it as minimal and unobtrusive as possible: no big UI, no background service — just a small tray app that gently nudges you to protect your eyes.



Tech details



\- Platform: Windows desktop

\- Stack: .NET Framework 4.8 + WinForms

\- App model: ApplicationContext + NotifyIcon (no main window)

\- Timer: System.Threading.Timer with marshaling back to the UI thread

\- Notifications: Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.Notifications for toasts, with a tray balloon fallback

\- Packaging:

\- MSI installer (Visual Studio Setup Project)

\- MSIX package published on the Microsoft Store



Repo: https://github.com/necdetsanli/EyeRest



License & privacy



\- License: MIT

\- No telemetry

\- No accounts, no cloud backend, no external services

\- All behavior is local to the user’s machine (tray icon, notifications, small dialogs)



I explicitly document this in the README and Store listing because I personally care a lot about privacy in small utilities like this.



How to contribute



If this sounds interesting and you’d like to contribute, I’d really appreciate it. Some ideas that are on the roadmap or open for discussion:



\- Smarter handling of user idle time (e.g. don’t nudge if the user is away)

\- Better persistence of options between sessions

\- More flexible snooze behavior or richer notification actions

\- Additional accessibility / UX improvements



You can:

\- Open an issue with ideas, bugs, or feedback

\- Suggest improvements to the code (refactoring, patterns, tests)

\- Help with docs, localization, or packaging (e.g. winget / Chocolatey)



Thanks for reading. If you have feedback on the project itself, or on how I’ve structured the repo (docs, packaging, etc.), I’m very open to suggestions. 🙂

GoSheet - A powerful terminal-based spreadsheet application built with Go

Hi r/opensource!

Over the past month, I’ve been building a CLI-based spreadsheet editor. I was inspired by sc-im—which I found powerful but unintuitive—and by classic 80s spreadsheet programs, which felt too limited for modern use, so I decided to build something of my own.

I chose Go because I’m actively learning it, and I enjoy its simplicity (it reminds me of C). I considered C/C++, but realistically I wouldn’t have reached this point until next year. I’m glad I went with Go.

In the early stages, I used tview because it provides great widgets (tables, textviews, buttons, etc.). But as sheets got larger, I ran into huge memory usage—over 1GB for a CLI app! To fix this, I restructured the internal design to use a viewport system and optimized the custom cell structure. Now only the visible cells are rendered, while the rest stay lightweight in memory.

I also built a formula engine, which worked surprisingly well in testing, and recently added workbook support so users can manage multiple sheets in one file.

I’d love for you to try it out and share your feedback. Suggestions, feature ideas, and bug reports are all welcome. Your thoughts will help guide the next steps for the project.
