Open-source React Native app: how do you share Android test builds?

I’m contributing to an open-source React Native app built with Expo and EAS.



What’s the usual approach for sharing Android test builds with contributors outside the Play Store?

Do people generally prefer APKs, AABs, or Expo-hosted artifacts?



Interested in hearing what works well in open-source projects.

Github in decline?

I have seen recently a decent amount of projects switching to Codeberg from Github. Is it worth moving your OSS libraries over to Codeberg? Since Microsoft has taken over Github it just seems a little less then it once was sort of speak... Is Codeberg the next big thing for OSS?


I currently am still on Github but I am seriously considering at least mirroring my repos on Codeberg. Github continues to come out with not so great announcements and pricing changes. Codeberg remains free from what I can tell.


Any thoughts or insights on this topic?

I built a small tool to save YouTube language content as MP3 for offline listening

Hi open source lovers!

I made a small open-source command-line noscript that lets you download YouTube videos or full playlists and save them as MP3 audio or MP4 in the highest available quality.

I originally built it for my own language learning. I often download podcasts, interviews, and lessons in my target language so I can listen offline, replay difficult sections, or do repeated listening and shadowing without relying on an internet connection.

It works without logging in, has no ads, and supports multiple downloads at once. You just run the noscript and follow the usage instructions in the README.

GitHub:
https://github.com/pH-7/Download-Simply-Videos-From-YouTube?tab=readme-ov-file#-download-any-videos-from-youtube

Sharing it here in case it’s useful to others. Feedback or ideas to make it more helpful for language learners are very welcome!

I created a flutter app for IPTV play

so I saw iptv-org maintains a list of IPTV channels but doesn't have a player we need VLC to play. it kind of hacky way and not nice UX.
so i made a flutter app which will list it with logos ,quality,category, searching and nice UI UX.

i personally use it, and I have it on my github free to download all codes are opensource.
can be used on mobile , android TVs , laptop it's cross platform.
i don't own or claim anything other than the ui and flutter codes.

khaos – simulating Kafka traffic and failure scenarios via CLI

# What My Project Does

khaos is a CLI tool for generating Kafka traffic from a YAML configuration.

It can spin up a local multi-broker Kafka cluster and simulate Kafka-level scenarios such as consumer lag buildup, hot partitions (skewed keys), rebalances, broker failures, and backpressure.
The tool can also generate structured JSON messages using Faker and publish them to Kafka topics.

It can run both against a local cluster and external Kafka clusters (including SASL / SSL setups).

# Target Audience

khaos is intended for developers and engineers working with Kafka who want a single tool to generate traffic and observe Kafka behavior.

Typical use cases include:

local testing
experimentation and learning
chaos and behavior testing
debugging Kafka consumers and producers

# Comparison

There are no widely adopted, feature-complete open-source tools focused specifically on simulating Kafka traffic and behavior.

In practice, most teams end up writing ad-hoc producer and consumer noscripts to reproduce Kafka scenarios.

khaos provides a reusable, configuration-driven CLI as an alternative to that approach.

LabFyre: Cus I got tired working around upstream limitations...

In short order, I was developing a few noscripts that would simulate sticky keys and Omacarhy's universal copy/paste, except it's on ctrl and not meta/super. I ran into a myriad of issues with this though, I'd end up with a feedback loop with universial copy/paste, thanks to dotool, and the sticky key implementation wasn't 1:1 with KDE, GNOME, or Windows. It had it's flaws and would actively affect gaming when I had it turned off due to how labwc does keybinds.

As a result I initially forked labwc to add keybind toggles, device blacklisting/whitelisting, and conditionals based on shell commands. I knew none of this would be merged into upstream, as they only want Labwc to understand wayland protocols and WL-roots protocols, no D-Bus,IPC, or anything else, probably including the flags I added to the binary to control it. So the features kind of spiraled from there into what I have LabFyre is currently.

As far as feature set compared to upstream, there's quite a bit.

multiple methods of turning on or off or limiting keybinds (by command flag, by device, and by the output of a shell command)
a noscript that fires upon reconfiguring the compositor
workspace control via command flag
a (WIP) tiling mode. (grid snapping mode works fine-ish, but smart resizing is experimental)

This still hold into the means of not being controllable via D-Bus or IPC, the only compositor control outside of wayland and WL-roots will be from command flags to the binary. So you could write plugins in any language. Bash, Zsh, Xonsh, python, java, zig... So long as it can run system commands, you can use it to control the compositor. Openbox themes are still supported as well as configs for upstream Labwc.

Note that the README isn't 100% deviod of Labwc links and mentions. I'm going to move all the documentation to the GitHub Wiki at some point, but the scdocs will still be maintained for offline reading. You'll need to compile it yourself and make a desktop file for your greeter, I am taking PRs for a PKGBUILD and hopefully someone can get it onto the AUR for me, as I can't figure out the needed keys to do it...

Looking for feedback and contributors on an open-source React Native + Expo mobile app

Hi everyone,



I’m working on an open-source mobile app built with React Native + Expo, and I’m trying to do the development as openly and transparently as possible.



At this stage, I’m not looking to promote a “finished product”, but rather to get help improving the project itself. I would really appreciate feedback or contributions in areas like:



\- Project structure and architecture

\- README and developer onboarding

\- Documentation quality

\- Performance and rendering patterns

\- Internationalization (currently switching between Georgian and Russian)

\- General React Native / Expo best practices



The repository is open-source and still evolving, and I’m very open to criticism, suggestions, and refactors. If you enjoy reviewing code, improving docs, or helping shape early-stage OSS projects, I’d love your input.



Repository:

https://github.com/georgetoloraia/selflink-mobile



If this isn’t the right place or flair for this kind of post, feel free to let me know and I’ll adjust. Thanks for your time.

I built an open-source MFA toolkit so apps can add MFA without replacing their login system

I built OpenAuth, an open-source MFA toolkit for developers who already have authentication but want to drop-in MFA.

It handles only MFA not login, users, or sessions.

It includes:

Ready-to-use backend (already deployed)
JS SDK for TOTP & Email OTP
CLI for app & key management
Optional React Native MFA screens

You keep your existing auth (Firebase etc.), and OpenAuth just adds MFA on top of it

Backend is Django-based and designed to be extensible

If anyone tries it, I would like to hear your feedback and have you as contributor to our project.

Reasons open source is NOT good?

I’m strongly in favor of open-source software, and both I and my professional network have worked with it for years.

That said, I’m curious why some individuals and organizations oppose it.

Is it mainly about maintaining a competitive advantage, or are there other well-documented reasons?

Are there credible sources that systematically discuss the drawbacks, trade-offs, or limits of open source compared to closed or proprietary models?
