Laravel package for IP geolocation with automatic fallback for 7 free providers
I run a micro-sites builder SaaS and the IP geolocation provider I used for visitors analytics on the sites created by my users, 11k, became paid.
That crashed recording analytics data for 3 months.
So I built a Laravel package that supports 7 free providers with automatic fallback if one fails or runs out of free credits.
If you are using Laravel 11 or 12 and need IP geolocation with automated fallback incase any of the providers fail, you can install it here:

There's a stark contrast. Developer tools thrive in open source. Sales tools are almost exclusively closed-source SaaS.
This is likely for a few reasons:
- Sales tools are built for making money, not for the craft.
- The users are salespeople, not developers.
An open-source sales tool is probably a doomed idea.
So I built a CLI that generates outreach messages called `spam`. It runs a tournament between language models to find the best draft.

Open-Source SaaS Management Platform - SasWatch
Hey all, full disclosure, I used AI to build and audit this codebase. I've been working in IT for about 15 years, and have spent a fair amount of time noscripting/coding, but I can't say I did much programming here - this is about 7 weeks worth of work during the evenings. I didn't use AI to write this post, for what it's worth.
My main motivation for building this is the monthly struggle I have to deal with when auditing our licenses with Microsoft, Adobe and about a dozen other vendors.
"Why does this user have an Acrobat license when they're disabled in Entra?"
"Is this user even using this Adobe Creative Cloud?"
"Why is this account still enabled if they're showing inactive for 200+ days?"
"How many licenses are we paying for and when is our renewal?"
The 20 different portals I have to log into to manage these users/licenses is a struggle for a lot of people in IT/Finance.
Not only do some of these vendors make it impossible to track usage, and continue to charge more every year...but now they're trying to block the person that's paying for the service from automating data extraction from their own account.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ATT/comments/1pcfc4w/att\_suing\_tmobile\_for\_scraping\_its\_customer\_data/
Imagine all of the phone lines and licenses out there with 0 usage. Research suggests orgs waste 18 million dollars a year on unused licenses...that's per organization.
And I don't think it's because they don't know, it's because dealing with it is such a headache, they've become numb to it.
This is just going to get worse, so I'm hoping something can be done about it.
There are a lot of different directions we could go in for something like this so I'm looking for feedback on what would be most beneficial to orgs.
\-Ingesting invoices to help track spend (using something like Plaid or just forwarding the email with invoice attachment to the platform)
\-Contract renewal reminders and vendor negotiation assistants.
\-Building a more comprehensive 'agent' that can track usage
\-Security tools that assist with detecting 'Shadow IT' and other common misconfigurations

mini-init-asm - tiny container init (PID 1) in pure assembly (x86-64 + ARM64)
Hey everyone,
I've just open-sourced a small but fairly low-level project and would love feedback/eyes on it.
**mini-init-asm** is a tiny PID1 for Linux containers:
* written in **x86-64 NASM** and **ARM64 GAS**
* runs as PID1 inside the container
* creates a new session + process group for your app
* forwards signals to the whole group
* reaps zombies (with optional subreaper mode)
* optionally restarts the app on crash (simple supervisor behavior)
* uses only Linux syscalls (no libc, static binaries)
It's heavily inspired by [Tini](https://github.com/krallin/tini), but with a different implementation and a strong focus on:
* being **small & auditable**
* being a good **educational example** of "real" assembly project structure
* exposing behavior mostly via env vars, with minimal CLI
GitHub repo --> [mini-init-asm](https://github.com/roots666/mini-init-asm)
I'm especially looking for:
* feedback from people who've worked on init / PID1 / container runtimes
* issues / PRs around missing edge cases or portability
* suggestions on how to keep it minimal but more production-friendly
If this sounds interesting and you'd like to hack on it, I'd be happy to discuss ideas in issues or PRs.
reddit auto-mod didn't like my original post with the full write-up, so I add link as a comment.

I do my own take on a free, open-source junk remover tool for Windows to help you squeeze more Gigabytes from your drives, since the current consumer market for storage related hardware has become expensive.
Hello everyone,
All of us who can't stand having our drives filled with junk have our own ways and tools to identify and manage this problem. I enjoy building small utilities that solve everyday PC problems like this (even though sometimes others might exist already), so I’ve been working on my own take on a cleaner — something fast, safe, and lightweight that anyone can use.
It’s called Cleanse, and it’s a free, open-source tool for Windows, focused on clearing leftover files from the directories that tend to silently bloat over time. Cleanse also includes detailed stats and graphs so you can see exactly what was cleaned and how your disk usage changes over time. I’m building it as a minimal, ad-free, bloat-free alternative driven entirely by community feedback. Anyone can suggest features, report issues, or even modify the code themselves — the project is licensed under GNU GPLv3, so the whole thing stays open and transparent.
Right now, Cleanse is in a working but bare-bones state. It can already:
estimate junk on your system
clean it instantly
run scheduled automatic cleanups
update itself automatically.
Planned features include:
emergency file restore (a safe rollback)
deeper-clean (filter by file size/type/folder)
advanced logs
and possibly a system for detecting leftover files from uninstalled apps
I’d love for people to try it out, break it, give feedback, and help shape where it goes. The idea of a small community improving this tool together is the part that motivates me most!
Thanks in advance to anyone who checks it out! Code: https://github.com/Drimiteros/Cleanse

[Open Source] MiraKate : nouvelle messagerie P2P expérimentale (clé locale, protocole simple, stockage local, objectif post-quantique)
Salut à tous 👋
Je lance un nouveau projet open-source appelé MiraKate.
C’est une messagerie expérimentale, conçue pour explorer des idées différentes de celles des messageries classiques.
L’objectif n’est pas de remplacer Signal ou Matrix, mais de créer une base technique simple**,** documentée et modifiable sur laquelle la communauté peut construire, apprendre ou expérimenter.
Concept de MiraKate
MiraKate teste plusieurs idées intéressantes :
1) Échange de clés uniquement en local
Par QR code, Bluetooth, NFC, USB…
Aucune clé ne transite sur Internet.
2) Protocole minimaliste : PING → PONG → MSG → ACK
L’émetteur n’envoie un message que si le destinataire est présent.
Sinon, le message reste stocké en local et sera réessayé plus tard.
3) Stockage des messages uniquement sur les appareils
Aucun serveur central, aucun cloud.
Tout se fait pair-à-pair ou via simples relais neutres.
4) Clé différente pour chaque conversation
Isolation complète entre conversations dérivée d’un secret partagé.
5) Objectif futur : cryptographie post-quantique
via liboqs (Kyber, NTRU, etc.).
État actuel
* README et CONTRIBUTING prêts
* Architecture conceptuelle claire
* Repo GitHub créé
* Le projet est ouvert aux idées, prototypes, discussions et contributions
Repo ici : [https://github.com/warofwar2011-dev/MiraKate](https://github.com/warofwar2011-dev/MiraKate)
Contributeurs bienvenus !
MiraKate cherche :
* développeurs (débutants ou confirmés)
* amateurs de P2P
* passionnés de crypto / PQC
* designers UI/UX
* gens qui aiment écrire de la doc
* étudiants en dev cherchant un projet motivant
Aucune compétence avancée n’est nécessaire pour commencer.
Même un mini prototype ou une idée d’architecture aide beaucoup.
Idées de contributions simples :
* créer un prototype PING/PONG en Python / Go / Rust
* implémenter la file locale de messages en attente
* proposer une structure réseau (TCP simple, libp2p, WebRTC…)
* commencer l’intégration PQ via liboqs
* proposer une interface CLI simple
* aider au design du protocole
Pourquoi “MiraKate” ?
Inspiré du suricate (meerkat) :
un animal social, vigilant, discret et rapide.
Une belle métaphore pour une messagerie expérimentale.
Merci !
Si le projet vous intéresse, n’hésitez pas à :
* laisser une étoile sur GitHub,
* ouvrir une Issue,
* proposer une Pull Request,
* discuter du protocole,
* ou juste donner des idées !

I got tired of hitting API limits while testing payments, so I built my own open-source mock gateway (FastAPI + Postgres)
Wsp r/opensource!
I’ve been building e-commerce apps for a while, and testing payment integrations is always a bit of a headache. Stripe’s test mode is great, but sometimes you hit rate limits, your internet cuts out, or you just want a completely isolated Docker container that simulates a "success" or "fail" state instantly without configuring an external dashboard.
I couldn't find a self-hosted tool that simulated the entire flow (including the redirect to a payment page and 2FA), so I decided to build one myself.
It’s called AcquireMock.
The idea is simple: It’s a payment processor simulator that runs locally. It mimics the behavior of a real PSP (Payment Service Provider) like Stripe or Fondy, but gives you full control.
What it actually does:
Checkout UI: It generates a realistic payment page (supports Dark Mode and multi-language). You can enter the classic `4444...` test card.
Simulates 2FA: It triggers an OTP verification flow. It can send the code to your email or just log it to the console if you don't want to set up SMTP.
Webhooks: This was the hardest part to get right. It sends HMAC-SHA256 signed webhooks to your app. If your app crashes or returns a 500 error, AcquireMock implements retry logic with exponential backoff.
Tokenization: It supports "saving" cards for future one-click payments.
The Tech Stack: I wanted to keep it modern but stable:
Backend: Python 3.12, FastAPI, SQLModel (SQLAlchemy + Pydantic).
DB: PostgreSQL for production, but works fine with SQLite for dev.
Frontend: Just Jinja2 templates and Vanilla JS. I didn't want a heavy React build step for a dev tool.
Deployment: Docker Compose (one command to start).
Why use this? If you are teaching developers how payment flows work, building an MVP without signing up for a provider yet, or just want to run integration tests offline — this is for you.
License & Repo: It’s open source under Apache 2.0.

I built HumanoidOS: An open-source control stack for bipedal robots (Python/PyBullet, 1kHz control loop)
After 5+ years in robotics , I kept rebuilding the same bipedal control foundations. So I open-sourced it.
# What It Is
HumanoidOS \- A modular control stack for bipedal robots that implements walking algorithms from first principles.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/32c3d915-4a07-40b2-9bd8-c78669f05bd6
Current features:
Real-time control loop (1kHz in PyBullet)
ZMP-based balance controller
7 gait patterns (walk, run, sidestep, turn)
Automatic push recovery (Capture Point dynamics)
Custom IK solver with NumPy optimization
# Why I Built This
Most bipedal resources are either:
Academic papers (math-heavy, no code)
Black-box libraries (can't learn internals)
Proprietary systems (can't access)
Wanted something in between: production-quality code that's educational and hackable.

BeeCount - One Month Update: Dark Mode, Tags, Budget Management, AI Assistant & More
It's been a month since the last update. Thanks everyone for the continued support!
In the past month, we've iterated from v1.11.0 to v2.2.0, bringing tons of new features and improvements.
# Major Updates
# 1. Dark Mode
Finally supports dark mode! Pure black background + theme color borders:
* OLED-friendly, saves battery and protects eyes
* All pages, dialogs, and keyboards fully adapted
* Auto-switch with system or manual setting
# 2. Tag System (New!)
You can now tag your transactions - more flexible than categories:
* Multiple tags per transaction
* Custom tag colors
* Tag detail page with statistics
* Import/export supports tags
Use cases: reimbursement, travel expenses, project costs, etc.
# 3. Budget Management (New!)
Finally has budget features:
* Set monthly total budget
* Set budgets by category
* Real-time spending progress
* Over-budget alerts
# 4. Recurring Transactions (New!)
Auto-record fixed income/expenses:
* Daily/Weekly/Monthly/Yearly
* Salary, rent, subnoscriptions, etc.
* Supports transfer type
* Import/export supports recurring
# 5. Discover Page
New Discover page with quick access:
* Budget management
* Recurring transactions
* Tag management
* AI assistant
* Log center
# 6. AI Assistant Upgrade
* New AI chat feature - smart bookkeeping assistant
* Custom prompts support
* Voice recording: hold to speak, auto record
* Improved image recognition accuracy
* Shortcuts support
# 7. iCloud Sync (iOS Users)
Long-awaited feature for iOS users:
* Zero config, works out of the box
* Uses your own iCloud storage
* Multi-device auto sync (iPhone/iPad)
* Full data control
# 8. S3 Protocol Storage Support
Besides Supabase, WebDAV, and iCloud, now supports S3:
* Cloudflare R2 (10GB free, recommended)
* AWS S3
* MinIO (self-hosted)
* Aliyun OSS (S3 compatible mode)
More flexible storage options.
# 9. Independent Accounts (v2.0 Major Update)
The core change in v2.0:
* Each account tracks balance independently (cash, bank cards, credit cards, etc.)
* Transfer between accounts, auto-update both balances
* New account detail page with transaction history
* Choose income/expense account when recording
Real "account" concept, not just a label.
# 10. Sub-categories
Categories now support hierarchy:
* Parent-child structure (e.g., Food → Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)
* Flat or hierarchical display mode
* Drag & drop sorting
* Category migration feature
# 11. Other Important Updates
**Import/Export Enhancements**:
* Supports categories, accounts, tags, budgets, recurring transactions
* Easier cross-device config migration
# Stats

Successfully built a business around OSS? What works in 2025?
I'm building a developer tool in the SEO space and seriously considering going open source, but I'm trying to figure out if and how that could be sustainable as a business.
I'd love to hear from people who've actually done it. What's working now? What looked good on paper but didn't pan out? How did you think about the decision early on? What business models are feasible?
For context: I'm a solo founder, the tool is technical enough that the audience would be developers, and I'm not VC-backed or chasing hypergrowth. I simply want to build something useful and make a living from it.

Looking for an Open-Source color E-Ink reader to read epub and pdf books
Hey, I'm looking for a Open-source (software side) color E-ink reader like a Kindle e-Reader because I have a hard time reading books on my pc. I would mainly use it for .epub and PDF files.
I found one but it doesn't have color: https://pine64.org/devices/pinenote/

I created an open source web app with ASP.NET and ML.NET backend
If somebody likes the .NET platform, and wants to contribute to a project, this is a good opportunity. You can find the github repository link on the website. My goal is to build a complex health manager platform. This is just the first test release, so it is under development when I have time for that.
Important: now the website allows photos only under 1 megabyte, because of I don't want to overload the server.
