Free Software on Reddit

Hello, I'm actually lost since I'm looking for a simple text editor, but all I found is apps for programmers. If anyone can recommend me a replacement for notepad it would be great. I only need: — tabs — dark mode — Strike through text — Text color (rgb, not a small palette). I used to use cherrynote, it was okay, needed few tweaks, but it got laggy overtime. Please, help me find something very simple. The text editor on macOC was great, but I currently on windows. submitted by /u/alkortes [link] [comments]

How does FreeOffice and ONLYOFFICE compare and stack up to each other? submitted by /u/Technical_Rich_3080 [link] [comments]

hey, I’m going through freesoftware and trying to understand the practical side of it. like in day-to-day use, I end up using a mix of: Linux tools browser-based apps and sometimes Microsoft Office Download just because it’s reliable for documents I also tried switching between tools like WPS Office on lighter setups, but I’m still not sure where the line really is between free and usable long-term. so what do people actually consider acceptable for daily work here? submitted by /u/Smooth_Storm_55 [link] [comments]

Large code-bases can get confusing, so I built this tool for y'all to visualize the code-base & call stack. It's much easier on the eyes than hunting through files (in my humble opinion). As a test, I used it to visualize my other app. I felt like I can visualize my stack better with this tool.

Hey everyone, I’ve always wondered why a simple quotes app needs to be 50MB of bloat, filled with subscription pop-ups and forced ads. It felt like even the most basic utility apps had become cluttered and distracting just to make a buck. To solve this for myself, I built Quotes —> a minimalist, Tinder-like app designed to deliver inspiration without the noise. Open-Source, No-Ads, No trackers, No Subscription, privacy focused....

Sorry for the vague description. Years ago I used an app to download videos from dailymotion. I do not remember if it was windows, macos, or linux. What I do remember is it was free, and probably open source. It was somewhat complicated, and a very comprehensive app, and allowed for password input for downloading password protected videos. Again, sorry for the vague description. Also thanks in advance. EDIT - I should also mention that it was a gui app, and not a CLI/terminal app. submitted by /u/cop1152 [link] [comments]

Hey everyone, I’m slowly moving everything to free software on my old laptop. so far so good, except documents. I use LibreOffice + WPS Office depending on the file, especially when dealing with things originally made in Microsoft Office download environments. but I still feel like my workflow is a bit improvised: open file fix formatting recheck layout export to PDF if needed it works, but doesn’t feel smooth. Would love suggestions from people who’ve been using free software for a long time. submitted by /u/AccurateShip2499 [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, I just released OpenAnima v0.1.0, a small free and open-source desktop animation overlay tool. It lets you place animated GIFs directly on your desktop, drag them around, lock/unlock them, and keep them always on top. The idea is to use it for desktop pets, small visual overlays, or fun animated screen companions. GitHub: https://github.com/Ertugrulmutlu/OpenAnima Release: https://github.com/Ertugrulmutlu/OpenAnima/releases/tag/v0.1.0 It is still an early prototype, but the core idea is working. I would really appreciate feedback, feature ideas, or suggestions. submitted by /u/True-Sentence-7253 [link] [comments]

I have been trying to improve the quality of some older and compressed clips, and I keep running into the same issue At first it looks better but after a few seconds you start noticing noise, weird textures or overly sharp edges. What i have noticed so far: if the original clip has some detail → AI can improve it if its heavily compressed → it just enhances the artifacts motion makes everything harder to fix submitted by /u/snckr_bar [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, I want to share the new version of TilBuci, a free software (MPL 2.0) I've been developing for creating interactive content. The new version includes several accessibility tools that aim to make the content you create more user-friendly. There are three features that attempt to address this issue. The software repository can be found at https://github.com/lucasjunqueira-var/tilbuci Now, the content you create can include filters that improve color perception for people with color vision deficiency. In addition, the new "focus mode" can be used to highlight the most important elements of your scenes, making secondary elements less visible and animating them more slowly, avoiding distractions for those who want or need a more focused experience. Finally, TilBuci can now export descriptive text at any time, which can be used by the page to feed functionalities such as screen readers or sign language readers. https://preview.redd.it/gmspsxq1nswg1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9382d30387482cc5d34e129a44a2a7f6db3382d7 Oh, and in the most recent versions, TilBuci can now also be installed as a WordPress plugin. This makes it easier to make the stories you create available online if you already have a WordPress-based workflow. To celebrate this release, I made new presentation video for TilBuci!

3D Concentric Thickness Rendering visualises scalar wall-thickness readings from multi-string casing surveys. Multiple casings -e.g tubing, 7", 9%", 13%" - render simultaneously as nested concentric tubes, each independently colour-mapped by thickness, metal loss percentage, or depth, with adjustable radial exaggeration that amplifies wall thinning into visually striking bore deformation for rapid corrosion hotspot identification.

GitComet is a fast, local-first, open source Git GUI built with large repositories in mind. We have been focusing heavily on performance and usability, and a lot of the changes in this release came directly from user feedback. Release highlights: Theme support: Create and share your own custom themes Unstaged / Untracked setting: Show files combined or in native Git terminal style. WSLg support available: Yeah, some of you requested using GitComet in a Linux shell on the Windows platform. Worktree badges: No more searching for tabs. Many more smaller UX / UI fixes and improvements. Whether you are new to GitComet or already familiar with it, we would like to hear your feedback! https://gitcomet.dev/ Discord: https://discord.com/invite/2ufDGP8RnA submitted by /u/Havunenreddit [link] [comments]

Feels like everyone has their own workaround for powerpoint download. I’m using WPS right now.. simple and works fine, but not sure if it’s the best. What are you guys using? Anything better? submitted by /u/AccurateShip2499 [link] [comments]

Update: The most requested feature is now fully usable in a much stronger form - Whitelist + Private Sync. FilterTube now supports: Full Whitelist mode (only allow what you explicitly choose). Works across YouTube Main + YouTube Kids. Profiles (Independent + Child) with PIN protection. Import your subscribed channels with single tap as WHITELIST too. And now the important part: secure P2P sync across devices (no central server). This means: Your rules (blocklist/whitelist) are not stored on any server You can sync across devices privately Works the same for personal use or controlled environments (kids) So effectively: Current state: Stable on YouTube Kids Minor rough edges still exist on YouTube Main (being worked on) Import + Whitelist flow is working And yes new improved UI for app and website too :) Next: Mobile (Android / iOS) iPad Android TV/ Fire TV Context: This started because parents were asking for basic control tools and got ignored: https://support.google.com/youtubekids/thread/54509605/how-to-block-videos-by-keyword-or-tag?hl=en One parent literally said they were helpless and asked me if I can do something. That stayed. FilterTube.in will always remain: Open source Runs locally No tracking No data collection Now evolving into: Whitelist-first control system Private sync layer (P2P, no server) Chrome / Brave / Vivaldi https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/filtertube/cjmdggnnpmpchholgnkfokibidbbnfgc Firefox / Zen / Tor https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/filtertube/ Edge https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/filtertube/lgeflbmplcmljnhffmoghkoccflhlbem GitHub https://github.com/varshneydevansh/FilterTube Working continuously based on real feedback and real use cases. submitted by /u/varshneydevansh [link] [comments]

I'm back again with another update to help prevent the ridiculous amount of spam that keeps coming in. Since the last update, I've seen the number of posts for free mobile applications decrease (thank you automod rule!). I've also gone ahead and made the reporting reasons more specific about why/what is being reported and allows you to better choose a relevant category. New Rule Added No Generative AI or Vibe Coded Applications - Due to training data and the myriad of licenses across the open-source ecosystem. You literally cannot guarantee that the software you vibe coded is actually free software and can be licensed under an FSF license. Because of this (and because AI slop is taking over every subreddit), I have made the decision to blanket ban vibe coded applications/websites. There is also a relevant reporting reason if you come across an app that you suspect of being vibe coded. We'll (myself and the eventual mod team) make a reasonable effort to investigate if an app is vibe coded and go from there. Existing Rules Updated/Clarified Existing rules were updated to be more specific just so there isn't any weird ambiguity. The two that were updated are Don't Be Rude and Free Software Submissions Only. Don't Be Rude - Updated to simplify the rule and provide more specific use cases. There has been a number of reports over the years of people reporting a comment because someone decided to disagree with them. While this will likely continue, the rule has been clarified with specific contexts which are unacceptable community conduct. Free Software Submissions Only - Updated to remove the "and/or" loophole. Prior to this morning, submissions could claim to be free software and not provide the source code for others to inspect, modify and use. The loophole has now been closed and requires a submission to be Free Software AND Open-Source. This allows others to do the above and self-host if they so wish. I'll be monitoring this rule closely, if I find that individuals aren't following this, I will look into other mitigation measures. Speaking of the eventual mod team, I am still recruiting additional moderators. If you have an interest in helping the community, please consider volunteering as a mod! https://www.reddit.com/r/freesoftware/application/ submitted by /u/happyxpenguin [link] [comments]
