Free Software on Reddit

I’ve been working on Axon, a side project that lets you connect your mobile phone to your PC locally and quickly. I know there are already plenty of alternatives out there to control a computer from a phone, but I decided to build my own because I wanted to implement a couple of specific features that I couldn't find in other apps. What makes Axon different? The feature I implemented from scratch is ADB connection support. This allows for a much more direct and deep control of the device. Additionally, I added a text tab with an interface inspired by Termux. Honestly, it makes writing code or running commands from your phone while on the go much more comfortable thanks to this layout. Other features included: Support for Bluetooth, UDP, and WebSockets so the communication is flexible depending on your needs. A functional touchpad to handle the cursor. QR code scanning to pair devices instantly. The Android app is built in Kotlin, and the server is written in Go so it runs smoothly on any system (Linux, Windows, or Mac). It’s released under the GPL license. If you want to try it out or see how I handled the ADB implementation, here is the repo Any suggestions or feedback are more than welcome! submitted by /u/Globover [link] [comments]

I open sourced a Linux login screen setup I’ve been using as part of my personal workstation It’s a QML based SDDM theme with video background support, PAM fingerprint auth, a composable UI structure, and 5 full presets out of the box. The repo is MIT licensed. The installer prints what it’s going to do, asks before sudo, installs the required runtime packages for the detected distro, stages the theme first, validates the files, then activates it. & the uninstaller removes the installed theme files, fonts, and owned state without restarting SDDM behind your back. The theme is configured through theme.conf, so you can change the background, video, blur, typography, form placement, animation timing, colors, button states, and power icons without editing the QML every time. There’s also a preview script for testing changes safely before touching the actual login screen. Source: https://github.com/rccyx/thyx submitted by /u/AshR75 [link] [comments]

Have any of you guys tried it? Pros and cons? I was looking for an alternative FOSS software based on Chromium just for compatibility with features that happen to work on chromium but not on firefox. I couldn't add the repo to F-Droid. It may be it being uncompatible or broken, or my ISP blocking it through the default DNS. Not the 1st time they block FOSS software. If you tried Cromite through an external repo for F-droid, feedback on that would be nice. submitted by /u/Redditurraspe [link] [comments]

As a developer, I'm really concerned about privacy, anonymity, and transparency. Because of these values, I've always made my apps free and open source. However, I'm currently developing an app with a subscription model, and I'd like to find ways to balance both worlds. My plan is to make the frontend publicly available on GitHub, which doesn't seem problematic. But when it comes to the backend, I'm unsure which direction to take. I've built the API with a strong focus on security and an intentionally opaque response policy. Because of that, I'm wondering whether publishing the backend code, even under a well-crafted license, could negatively impact security. How do developers who care about openness and transparency handle this trade-off? Is it reasonable to keep the backend closed while open-sourcing the frontend, or are there better approaches? Or should I just open-source the entire codebase, use my own server as the default (with a subscription required), and allow users to connect to their own server if they prefer? submitted by /u/joetheberry [link] [comments]

I tried to find software that could detect flashes and dim the screen, but I could not find anything, so I decided to make it myself for my friends! After I told them I was making it for them and showed them the prototype, the friends it was for, along with some of my other friends, started telling me how this could help so many people, not just them. That thought had never crossed my mind. So I decided to post it here, and I am going to keep updating and improving it as fast as possible. It is not perfect, and it has many bugs. It will probably continue to have bugs for a while, but I just want to make my friends’ lives a little easier. 😃 submitted by /u/Reveary [link] [comments]

"Secure and private” is the general aim. This is a technical/concept demo of a fairly unique approach using a browser-based, local-first and webrtc. This is intended to demonstrate client-side managed cryptography. We can avoid registration of any sort. App: https://enkrypted.chat MVP: https://chat.positive-intentions.com MVP Code: https://github.com/positive-intentions/chat Features: P2P End to end encryption File transfer Local-first No registration No installation No database Feel free to reach out for clarity instead of diving into the docs/code. IMPORTANT: While this is aiming to provide a secure experience, it isnt audited or reviewed. Shared for testing, feedback and demo purposes only.

Effective immediately, new software submissions will receive a reply from AutoMod asking for the following information: A link to the source repository, A link to the license or a statement of the license (which can be verified by visiting the source repository), If AI was used in the creation and to what extent Post authors who fail to respond to the comments attached to their posts will have their posts removed. This should help alleviate some mod work and streamline things a bit instead of needing to manually go into each repository and verify license and AI use and then manually approving/removing. Questions? Drop 'em in the comments. submitted by /u/happyxpenguin [link] [comments]

Over the past few months, I found myself juggling spreadsheets, emails, notes, bookmarks, professor contacts, recommendation letters, application deadlines, and fee payments across multiple platforms. ​ To make the process less chaotic, I built a free web app called GradOS. ​ Features currently include: • Application tracking • Professor outreach tracker • Referee management • Deadline tracking • Application fee tracking • Notes and SOP organization • Dashboard with progress analytics ​ Everything runs directly in the browser and is free to use. ​ I originally built it for my own PhD applications, but I thought other applicants might find it useful as well. ​ I'd appreciate any feedback, feature suggestions, or criticism from people who are currently applying or have gone through the process. ​ Demo: https://punitdubey214-creator.github.io/GradOS/ GitHub: https://github.com/punitdubey214-creator/GradOS submitted by /u/gradossupport [link] [comments]

Still under heavy development, but it looks like a promising alternative to Logitech Options+ (remap buttons, drive DPI and SmartShift, and switch profiles per app) that doesn't require a Logitech account, telemetry, or cloud dependencies.

I hope I don't have use that hot garbage for a while. It's technically a dual boot setup, but installing fedora ended up borking the bootloader, so I can only boot into fedora. But, you know what, I'm perfectly fine with that outcome. I can fix it if I have to, but at this point I don't care. I want to be in the free world. submitted by /u/Individual-Plum4585 [link] [comments]

Live: https://fcksignups.com/ I've opened my eyes lately to how capable the browser is. I mean, there's a WebRTC API, WebGPU API, a WASM runtime, maybe an LocalLLM API soon if the Chrome team insists...? This means that the barrier of using tools should be little-to-none since it should be as easy as opening a browser tab. Since I'm the audience for no-signup, in-browser, open-source tools, I figured I make a place that curates all of those tools in one place. So, voila! Contributions are of-course welcome!

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]
