Show us your half baked, not really ready for prime time projects.

Or just whatever open source stuff you’ve been contributing to lately!

For me, it’s https://openlibrary.org I’ve been working on having author pages populated with data from wikidata. Also a few other small things with documentation and small UI bugs :)

    I’m working on !boinc@sopuli.xyz and !gridcoin@lemmy.ml . BOINC is a tool used by scientists to distribute computational workloads to the computers of volunteers, Gridcoin is a cryptocurrency which issues rewards for people who use BOINC (like mining crypto but for science instead of hashes). I’m not a direct dev on either project, but I code tools which make those projects easier to use, write documentation, etc.

    I have never contributed directly to open source, perhaps because I have never felt truly confident about my programming skills. But I have always done all that I can - starring repos I like, helping beginners with linux related issues, contributing to discussions in forums, promoting foss in a friendly way wherever I can and leaving feedback and reports wherever I can.

    I guess it’s something Yet I find my mind wandering sometimes If I am contributing enough.

    I’m actively working on a web front-end for Newpipe (Tubo) in my spare time. Alhough the core functionality is already there, I have yet a lot of features/nice-to-haves to tackle, as well as many refinements to the UX to make it as close to the Newpipe app as possible.

      There is FreeTube that seems to be like Newpipe already but the more, the merrier. Google is not going to stop abusing it’s power.

      Something I was really looking for was being able to Sync Newpipe with some interface on my desktop, this sounds great and maybe you could implement that as well?

        Thanks for the idea. I definitely have to give this a bit more thought. I’m not sure I want to implement user signups like Piped/LibreTube do it as I would rather keep using the Newpipe app, so I’ll think of other ways of achieving data syncing.

    Lemmy itself! Can’t say what because I’ll doxx myself since I’m doing the fixes under my IRL name but yeah it’s nice contributing.
