Project: the Ü programming language

Description: a modern safe and fast compiled language

What do I need: it would be nice to improve/fix working on operating systems other than GNU/Linux and Windows

Project name: TNTStack

Project description: A monorepo template for building cross-platform apps. Write your code once and build for Web, Desktop, and Mobile.

What do you hope to build this month? I need to flesh out the landing page. Right now it only has a hero section, so I want to build out the missing parts (e.g Features, Pricing, etc. and a dedicated Download page UI) to make the template feel like a complete, out-of-the-box.

What kind of skills do you need? Frontend skills (Next.js, React, Tailwind, Shadcn UI etc.) to help design and implement the landing page sections.

Anyone looking for an easy first contribution: helping tweak the documentation, or reviewing/fixing our i18n translations (currently have 10 languages generated via LLM, so native speakers fixing them or adding new languages would be amazing).

QA / Testers to install and test the compiled application releases (desktop, mobile) on different operating systems, as well as test the CLI tool used to scaffold the project.

Project name: SystemG

Project description: A general-purpose process composer.

What do you hope to build this month? It'd be nice to flush out some of the more minor UX quirks.

What kind of skills do you need? Anyone with strong Rust skills and who knows their way around various Linux distros.

Project Syncable CLI -

Analysis Engine, made to engineers get a quick overview of their codebase, security scannings, vulenrability checks and dependency checks.

It also comes with skills giving Claude Code/Codex/Gemini build in native linting capabilities for Dockerfiles, Helm charts, k8s manifest alongside validation and assessment capabilities.

Still early days but would love some extra hands!
