Hyperorg [1] does convert org(roam) files into HTML files preserving there links to each other. It's primary use case is to have an HTML representation of your Zettelkasten (aka "second brain") that is usable on your local machine in a browser without running a fancy web server, JavaScript or anything else. Pure HTML5 and CSS.

Back In Time [1] is a round about 15 years old backup software using rsync in the back. I'm part of the 3rd generation maintenance team there. A lot of work in investigating and fixing issues, understanding, documenting and refactoring old code. Have a look at Good First Issues [2] or Help Wanted Issues [3].

Come build the next full stack web framework for your favorite programming language! https://github.com/levkk/rwf All aspects of project are open to contributors. Beginner friendly. Learn Rust/web tech if you're not familiar with how the sausage is made.

You say beginner friendly. How does rwf look like compared to Pavex[1] in this regard? [1] https://github.com/LukeMathWalker/pavex

I think rwf is easier to use, but it's not my place to make this argument. Try them both out and let me know which one you like best!

societyserver/open-Team an object-storage, backend as a service platform. enables you to build complex websites/applications including chat, messaging, email, without needing any custom backend coding among other things. https://gitlab.com/societyserver/ https://github.com/societyserver/ backend: Pike/MySQL (without Roxen) frontends: XSLT or REST (for custom javascript frontends), java desktop clients, a PHP library.…

just adding this here for completeness, so i can point people here:

i'd really like to get rid of xslt, but that requires rebuilding the complete admin interface from scratch.

alternatively the xslt bindings could be pushed upstream into pike so we don't have to maintain them and the server can be built without a C compiler.

(i am currently working on fixing the TLS issue during which i was reminded how libxml2 is a moving target, and its bindings require updating with every minor version.)

I'd love to resurrect my open source real estate website builder: https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder I was quite active with updating it a few years ago but haven't had the time to work on it recently. On another project of mine I have been using aider and co-pilot and realised I could bring property_web_builder back to life with these tools. It would motivate me massively to do this if at least one or t…

I'm just at a beginner level with Ruby on Rails, but I am interested in working on it.

Plain Old Recipe: takes online recipes and removes the cruft. https://www.plainoldrecipe.com https://github.com/poundifdef/plainoldrecipe Things I want to do: 1. Improved print-friendly format 2. Ability to format to arbitrary sizes (for example, format for index cards) 3. Smarter layouts. For example, if a recipe says "add the chicken stock" in a step it would be great if it could identify how much ("1 cup") like so…

I have wanted to do something like this for news websites for a while now. I tried the recipe site, my first url from lifehacker wasn't supported, the second attempt from the curated list gave an error loading site, so maybe make the links clickable, have a top 10 ready to go ( cached) at bottom of landing page. Write a bot to periodically check the list of sites this works on and indicate how recent said check was done. Then I might spend more time. Good luck!

It's also a little weird that they lie and claim "Usually we're able to parse recipes from {{domain}}" no matter what domain you put in. This really rubbed me the wrong way.
