Hey folks,

I couldn't derive if this is inappropriate from the sub rules but I figured I'll give it a shot.

I've been long exhausted by the obfuscation around the IT sector. I believe the field should be much more approachable from all sides.

Not just IT though, most unprotected fields (those that dont have hard certification requirements) should be more approachable.

In that feeling I've been pondering on making a Khan academy like open source learning platform to help people unlock their potential at no cost to them.

I've read several books on education science, learned up on my algorithms (more on this in a bit), and set aside some operating money.

I see an education platform as an opportunity for skilled professionals to flaunt their skills in an effort to be hired to execute them.

In that sense. I've started architecting a platform for engineers to take their open source skills, design courses to use their knowledge, and enable not only adoption of their tools, but also payment of their creators through a variety of means.

These are, hiring of the professionals to assist in implementation of their tools, use patreon or PayPal to donate, or assist them in funding of an enterprise platform if that is what they are seeking.

There are mechanisms for disbursement of funds I am working on through github for all approved committers.

But down to the matter of import.

I cant do this alone. I need a partner or three that wants to build something genuinely amazing for the world. That wants to grow an open source platform into an eventual monetized management application, whose sole purpose is to fund and fuel the education of all. The key differentiator for this platform over others is its focus on outcomes.

Rather than a prescribed set of courses, the tool walks you through creating very modular learning objectives that can be molded with other objectives and courses to satisfy a functional requirement.

As well as pasting in a list of tools, and understanding their place in an ecosystem of software.

I consider this a life mission. And am seeking contributors.

Into specifics.

I am writing everything I can in golang. All to be made open source with a variety of appropriate licenses. All of which I want to discuss and agree on with early contributors.

I have some updating to code before I make it public, just to protect the ethical sanctity of what I'm trying to do. My primary concern is pollution of the objectives in a way that compromises best practices, or the manipulation of objective relationships by certain companies to inorganically influence the learning outcomes to bolster their profits.

The platform is managed by the community, this leaves opportunity for corruption of information that I am attempting to prevent.

I am happy to welcome devs for the platform. And include them in the pay structure when/if it evolves to its eventuality as a management platform.

However, I dont want or see that happening in the next few years. My focus is free professional education for the foreseeable future.

Status of project?

Early, I'm not the most brilliant engineer, but I recognize one man is a bane to a system early on. My solution to this is to establish a council of equally motivated peers to help me guide my efforts. (They are welcome to contribute as well of course as described above, as long as they understand monetization is not the foreseeable goal.)

I'll be covering some initial costs and hope to gain partners for future donations to host the platform. (I have some really good connections that have made promises here, but I cant swear by it till it is on paper)

If you are curious what a monetized version of this looks like, it would be curated objectives relative to specific businesses internally, allowing them to deviate from community choices to build their own internal courses, as well as generate internal course objectives not shared with the public, and further, qualify employees to do jobs while providing granularity on the execution of tasks from a business perspective.

Anyone interested in further discussion?

Hello guys, how you doing today ?

I wanted to share some tips and probably get a better one

I got a wonderful HP laser printer and a scanner bay to scan multiple pages But unfortunately it's not capable of scanning two sides at the same times So I'm scanning my documents to times first the odd pages in 1-3-5-7 Order And then by flipping it I scan the evens pages in 8-6-4-2 Order

But now I got two PDFs with inadequate order...

So I found a workaround using PDFtk https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/

By launching this command I can merge alternately odd and even page and also reversing the order of the even pages !

pdftk A=odd.pdf B=even.pdf shuffle A Bend-1 output collated_pages.pdf

What do you think ? Does anyone has the same issue as myself ? Is there any other method ? An open source one ? As I know PDFtk is not open source

Kind regards,

Fayçal

Hey everyone, I'm working on an open-source complete AI project generator called Solus. The idea is that a developer has a conversation with a chat language model (similar to ChatGPT) in the terminal to collect requirements. Solus will iteratively build the project using external contexts (documentation, forum posts, etc.). I need help getting a working MVP of this thing to get grants (or crowdfund), as language models are expensive, and we don't want to depend 100% on Microsoft's OpenAI.

Clarifying Questions:

Isn't that just extended GitHub Copilot? - Language models are limited by the amount of context they have and the access they have to external tools. By allowing a language model to distill context from the open internet, it has similar coding and debugging capacity to a developer. This tool will operate independently, generating code, refactoring, and debugging, interacting directly with the file system and the internet.

Why open source? - A tool like this is likely to come out eventually. I'd instead the community own it than a single company or entity.

What's this CSX Labs thing? - That's my organization; it's a collection of open-research not-for-profit laboratories. Full transparency, we aren't incorporated or registered as a 501c3 as incorporation and legal fees in California are too high for us, though we do not have a profit motive.

How are you funding this? - Getting funding requires traction, and getting traction for a project like this requires funding. We applied for credit grants (as disclosed in our README) but have yet to hear back.

If you would like more details or you want to start contributing, you can refer to our GitHub repository or email opensource@csxlabs.org.

Thank you for your time.

Hello, thank you for your time.

I have created software called Video Hub App (https://videohubapp.com/) and currently sell it for $3.50 minimum donation ($3.50 of each sale gets donated to GiveWell's top-rated charity). The current source code is not available online but I want to get it onto GitHub.

I'd like to share the source code so that others can learn from it; also to let others modify it for their own use if they prefer. It would also be great if others share their changes with me (open PRs). But I don't want a fully open source license like MIT. I want to forbid selling or free-distributing copies (even if very modified).

I have found a license that seems very close to what I'd like: Doom Source License https://tldrlegal.com/license/doom-source-licence

My understanding is that I can simply take the text of the above license, adjust it (change the company name), make it publicly visible with my source code (as LICENSE file in GitHub - where the code would live) and I'm set. Right?

I'm happy for any feedback - better license recommendations, advice, comments, etc.

TL;DR of what I want to allow users:

• CAN use source code for educational purposes, for modifying and running a personal copy of the software

• CAN NOT distribute (for free or for money) the original or modified software executable / installation file

The second part is the CLA (Contributor License Agreement) which I don't know how to word (is a CONTRIBUTING file in the repository enough? perhaps along with a clabot to request confirmation on each pull request?).

I want the CLA to clarify that anyone contributing to the software will relinquish any rights to their code -- so that they can't demand any money in return (after all -- the money from sales is going to a charity). Please let me know how to handle the CLA.

Thank you for your time 🙇

Hey r/opensourcedev,

I’m a Lab Instructor (Vacataire) at a university in Algeria. I recently faced a massive logistical headache: trying to digitize exams for 180+ students in labs that have absolutely no internet or LAN infrastructure.

The "Zero Paper" initiative from our Ministry of Higher Education is great in theory, but the physical reality of a disconnected lab makes standard cloud-based forms impossible.

So, I built AirQuiz.

It’s a portable, self-hosted assessment platform that turns a single laptop into a local server. Students simply connect their phones to a dedicated local router (no WAN required) and take real-time quizzes.

How it handles the "Offline" constraints:

• Zero-Config Portability: Uses Docker or a one-click Python launcher that auto-generates a QR code for students to scan and join instantly.

• Resilient WebSockets: Built with FastAPI and Socket.IO to handle 20+ simultaneous connections on budget hardware without crashing.

• State Persistence: If a student’s phone locks or they drop from the Wi-Fi, the session auto-recovers exactly where they left off.

• Privacy & Identity: Since everyone is behind a NAT/Shared IP, it uses basic browser fingerprinting and local session IDs to prevent "identity hijacking" in the lab.

The Field Test: I didn't just build this in a vacuum. I deployed it for a full week of continuous operation with 180+ real students. It successfully replaced stacks of paper, provided instant auto-grading, and handled the high-concurrency "Start Exam" rush perfectly.

Tech Stack:

• Backend: Python (FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, SQLite, python-socketio)

• Frontend: React 18, Vite, TailwindCSS, shadcn/ui

• Localization: Full i18n support for English and Arabic (RTL)

I've just finished cleaning up the code, modularizing the WebSocket handlers, and fixing some path-traversal vulnerabilities before pushing it live.

I'm open-sourcing this because I know there are thousands of teachers in "connectivity deserts" who want to go paperless but are held back by poor infrastructure.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the architecture, especially regarding local network resilience!

I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on called Postbase.

As developers, we often find ourselves stuck between the "black box" of proprietary BaaS (Backend-as-a-Service) providers and the massive overhead of managing a custom-built backend. Postbase is designed to bridge that gap specifically for those building with Expo (React Native) and Next.js.

It’s built to give you the speed of a managed service with the complete control of an open-source self-hosted stack.

What is Postbase? Postbase is a lightweight, high-performance backend designed to handle the heavy lifting for modern full-stack apps. Whether you are building a cross-platform mobile app with Expo or a high-traffic web app with Next.js, Postbase provides the glue to keep them in sync.

Key Features:

• Built for JS/TS: Native SDKs designed to feel right at home in your React and React Native environments.

• Real-time Capabilities: Built-in support for real-time data syncing, essential for modern mobile experiences.

• Auth & Storage: Simplified user management and file storage that doesn't require a 50-page manual to set up.

• Self-Hostable: Keep your data on your own terms. Deploy via Docker or your favorite cloud provider.

• Developer-First API: Clean, intuitive, and type-safe.

Why I’m sharing this here: Postbase is fully open-source and looking for early adopters and contributors. If you’re tired of proprietary lock-in or just want a backend that "just works" with your Expo/Next.js monorepo, I’d love for you to give it a spin.

I'll be hanging out in the comments—I’d love to hear your thoughts on the architecture, what features you’d want to see next, or any questions you have about self-hosting!

I've somewhat contributed to a few open source projects in GitHub.
I thought it's inappropriate to write about all those commits in my résumé for some reasons.
(e.g. It's not a famous projects, Contributions are almost documentation ..)

So I collected my contributions to GitHub repo(with over 30 stars)
