Made a simple tool to see what languages are actually in your project!

I made a quick bash noscript called kats that shows you exactly what languages are in your project with actual percentages!

Install is literally one line:

bash

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lattiece/kats/main/install.sh | bash

Then just run kats in any project folder.

It's fast, supports 40+ languages, and doesn't need any dependencies installed.

GitHub: https://github.com/lattiece/kats

lmk if you think it's useful or if I should add something!

Where would most privacy focused users draw the line on IP logging, ads, and age verification?

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this (I thought about r/privacy but I think this post would violate their rule 14) but I need some advice relating to an open source website I'm building. I'm currently working on a low-budget, privacy-focused video sharing platform (similar to YouTube) and want to know where most privacy-focused users would draw the line with privacy, especially when it comes to certain features I'm not sure I can avoid.

For example, in my current setup, I was unable to avoid logging user IP addresses, which is something I feel many users may have a problem with, even though the IP addresses are only stored temporarily for rate limiting to work, as well as because Bunny.net, my video storage service, states that they also collect IP addresses temporarily from viewers. (for analytics if recall correctly...) Additionally, I want to add advertisements (though not nearly as much as YouTube has), but I'm not sure if there's any ad services I can use that don't track users. I may end up having to build my own ad service to keep advertisers from tracking users. Furthermore, while I haven't checked any laws regarding this yet, I may be legally required to ask for users age or even use AI age verification in certain regions. I'm not sure if there's any way around this or if there's any less invasive ways for me to legally comply than using something like Google's controversial and invasive AI age verification system.

Now of course unless you're going to have zero algorithm, you're going to need to track some user statistics, even if no human ever sees the data. I'm also curious if the average privacy-focused user will be okay with the platform keeping track of which types of videos they often watch in order to suggest similar content.

What do you all think I should do?

What’s the biggest mistake people make when choosing an IPTV service?

In my opinion, most people chase cheap prices or huge channel lists, instead of focusing on stability and support. That usually works fine at first… until peak hours hit.

I’ve tested multiple IPTV services over time. The ones that looked amazing on day one often failed during big matches or weekends because they were oversold. The reliable ones were always the ones that limited users and actually offered testing and support.

If anyone’s confused about what to look for or wants advice before choosing a service I would recommend you to one IPTV that somehow worked really good for me.

TVFUN4LIFE did the job for my big games live streaming for a good period of time. Please check for yourself.

Free or Open Source Alternatives to After Effects?

Hey folks, I am looking for a free or open source alternative to Adobe After Effects. I mainly want it for basic motion graphics like simple animations, text motion, and effects. I don’t need anything very advanced.

If you know any good free tools, please share your suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Opinion about sponsorship on opensource.

So I want to know if someone sponsoring your GitHub project will you add their logo or some graphics on your readme?
like sponsored by (some logo ..)

is it okay for developers? in my opinion I will do as it ain't do any damage and moreover I am getting something in return.

open sourced my browser based file-converter / tools site, looking for testers and ideas to improve UI/UX.

hey, just open sourced FormatFuse today. its a file conversion tool where everything happens in your browser using webassembly. nothing gets uploaded anywhere.

has image conversion, pdf tools, video processing, archive extraction, dev utilities. all client side put it under AGPL-3.0. figured if im saying files stay on your device people should be able to verify that.

mainly looking for:

\- people to test it and break things

\- feedback on what sucks

\- ideas for new tools that could work in browser

Goal is to make a large collection of browser based tools, keep eveything free and open source and no annoying ads.

The new "open source": amalgamated sources

Recently a project that I really liked because of its technological advancements changed its "development model" to amalgamated sources. This means that all C code that were previously available as individual files are combined in a C blob, unit tests are removed. It is basically uncompiled code that you can make but never contribute to.

The following reasoning was given:

1. It is counteract the project hijacking scenario as happened with Akula. A developers working for ParadigmXYZ have already failed (did not attempt nor showed intentions) several times to return useful improvements to the project (for example, correcting typos), etc.
2. It is more convenient for project users to use a library with a minimum number of files and without unnecessary dependencies, at least as long as the project is written in C/C++ and not Rust. At the same time, on the contrary, tests require many additional dependencies that are completely unnecessary for users.
3. For >10 years, development has been conducted in an open mode, but during this time the contribution of other developers has been extremely insignificant. This is not a reproach to anyone, it's just that the code is really complex and it's too difficult to get a useful result. However, this means that the announced changes will not harm other developers, but they will make my work more comfortable and my hope for the future more reasonable.


The code is under an Apache License, so forking is always possible. But I really fail to understand why anyone would think this is a business strategy to pursue.

Minimax M2 does UI design so much better

I have been seeing post on the design abilities of Minimax M2, and from the video evidence that ive seen, the model is a definite winner to the competitor. I seen Sonnet 4.5 behave similar to Minimax, but the fact that now Minimax M2 is a free model on Blackbox IDE, i very much prefer saving my money and use a fine model.

and i think that black and yellow are goated color picks for any website.

I have decided to open-source my note-taking project that I have used for two years.

It's been two years since Rote was born. I've developed and refactored countless versions, and as of writing this article, there are already 860 commits. It has grown alongside me.

# Background

Regarding the birth of Rote, I won't shy away from saying that the inspiration came from the open-source project [usememos](https://usememos.com/). Earlier, I was a loyal user of usememos and even created an open-source mini-program client for usememos ([memos\_wmp](https://github.com/Rabithua/memos_wmp)). However, I gradually felt that the project became bloated and complex, diverging more from my note-taking needs.

So I started developing [Rote](https://github.com/Rabithua/Rote) from scratch. The web version's interface and interaction design drew more inspiration from designs I liked on Twitter and the Tailwindcss website, achieving what I believe is a smooth and elegant responsive design.

Although there's an explore page and Reactions, I don't define it as a community. The explore page simply displays some users' public notes, just like I often make public some content I find interesting. Essentially, it's a side effect of the public notes feature.

For me, public notes are a way for people interested in me to quickly understand what I'm doing or what I'm interested in (you should know that after registering an account, everyone gets a public personal page, similar to my [personal homepage](https://beta.rote.ink/rabithua), like Telegram's Channel. I personally think it can also be used as a blog. Several years ago, I lost the energy to frequently write long-form content, so these note snippets are perfect—no pressure to write).

# Rote's Core Design Philosophy

* **Stay Restrained** \- Everything for an elegant note-taking experience and restrained interaction
* **Low Mental Burden** \- Less pressure and a simpler, more intuitive recording experience, even deployment experience
* **Open Interface** \- Open API interfaces, supporting recording or retrieving data in any scenario
* **Unrestricted** \- Complete control over your data, free to export data

# Supported Features

* **Self-Hosted** **Server** and **Web** (frontend-backend separation design)
* Simple deployment experience, quick start via `Docker compose` or `Dokploy` template [Deployment Documentation](https://beta.rote.ink/doc/selfhosted)
* [iOS Client](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/rote/id6755513897) supports any **self-hosted instance** (defaults to my hosted site, can switch to your own instance by clicking the welcome text in the top-left corner of the login page multiple times)
* Smooth web **responsive design** and immersive **PWA** support
* **OAuth** support, currently supports `GitHub` and `Apple Login`, `Google` is planned
* **RSS** support, similar to [RSS subnoscription](https://api.rote.ink/v2/api/rss/rabithua) you can subscribe to my updates
* **Reactions** anonymous users or logged-in users can react to their own or others' public notes
* **S3** storage support, defaults to `Cloudflare R2` storage, configuration can be skipped
* **Explore Page** to display all users' public note content on the site
* **Note tags**, **archive status**, **visibility status**, **attachments**
* Basic components: **heatmap**, **tag cloud**, **random review**, and **search** support
* **OpenKey** with permission control for partial use of selected capabilities (e.g., adding notes directly via `GET` requests)
* **Admin Dashboard** including site settings, storage settings, interface settings, user management, security settings, OAuth login
* Experimental features: **Service Worker** notifications (I want Rote to achieve instant notifications similar to `Bark`), **data export**, `EveryDayOneCat` widget 🐱
* **Public note direct link sharing** [Example Note](https://beta.rote.ink/rote/ad7c6701-d6de-4de0-9fe6-f89258db9da7), your **public personal homepage** [Rabithua](https://beta.rote.ink/rabithua)
* **Multi-language support** Chinese / English

# iOS Client Features

* Basic **note

features** (**Create, Read, Update, Delete**)
* **Personal information** and **personal homepage**
* **Explore page** (can see others' interesting public content and add **Reactions**)
* **Generate note sharing image** (long press on note)
* **Customize interface display** (text weight and size, whether to show avatars, color theme preference, whether to enable haptic feedback)
* **Statistics page** (current note data accumulation is poor, future client will focus on this)
* Several intuitive **widgets** (**Recent Notes**, **Random Note**, **Heatmap**)
* **Shortcuts**, manually trigger shortcuts after copying content to quickly record notes (currently unstable, may have issues in different language environments or special content situations)
* **Search notes** by `tag`/`visibility`/`archived status`/`time`/`keyword`
* Very smooth **timeline view**
* **Multi-language support** Simplified Chinese / Traditional Chinese / English / Japanese / Korean
* **iOS** intuitive **native interaction experience**
* Cute unknown creature with grass on its head
* Unknown **Easter eggs**

The Rote iOS client is currently not open source. I'm ashamed to say that due to financial constraints, I'm considering making the Rote client a paid project to make a living (currently still free to download). If one day I'm no longer worried about making a living, I'll open source it.
