I’m bored and want to practice my Rust skills. I am the creator of open-tv. If you have any idea for a linux desktop app, even if it seems quite complex, I will take it.
An app to manage important config and unit files (fstab, hosts, sysctl, systemd units, …), and present them as settings menu or editor with auto completion and tooltips. Kinda like how VSCode handles settings, where you can use the GUI or a context-aware text editor.
A gtk app for YouTube and/or twitch intended for media PCs would be neat, with controller/remote support and ui optimization for air mice.
I don’t like the ux of kodi very much and trying to get it to play YouTube has been a nightmare 😅 a simple app with a decent user interface would be very welcome
Clozemaster-style spaced repetition app for languages. It reads a sentence with text to speech, you have to fill in the blank with your target language. Translation can be shown if you’re stuck, and you can turn on hints when typing. It shows the words based on the SM-2 algorithm or similar
Real time midi sequencer for the trs-80 model 100
A simple intuitive whitelist/blacklist firewall with logging for both inputs and outputs. I shouldn’t have to navigate NFT’s complexity or write scripts simply to list all the websites I’m willing or unwilling to connect to and their port number. There are silly limitations on all the tools I’ve tried.
I use a whitelist because my code sucks, and PDF datasheets for hobbyist hardware projects can be super sketchy to download. I have somewhere around 600 entries on my list. It feels like an intentionally obfuscated/overcomplicated issue in OpenWRT and elsewhere from a user’s perspective.
I really don’t trust local LLM’s overall now that they’ve been shown to have hidden vulnerabilities and would love to have an easier way to monitor an outputs log and sandbox really.
This isn’t doable without a custom kernel module. One existed but I remember it not being liked.
The world needs the ability to sync freetube and newpipe. It’s the missing link for both Apps, to be usable from home, to out and about
I agree, but I think something is already in the works, I’ll check and probably make something practical to sync the two. It’s not really a new app that’s needed but a feature integrated into freetube/newpipe
Here’s a thread that sort of just… finishes nowhere.
I’ve been following it pretty closely, and haven’t seen any progress as yet. There are many github conversations, but nothing seems to have ever come of it.
I assume the challenge would be having the two different storage formats be able to be interchanged?
An open-source Resilio Sync alternative (not syncthing) that centers around the folder represented by unique hash, without any device management
“application”, not “app”. Please don’t let phone tech companies enshittify our language.
Enshittify/enshittification must be the most overused and most incorrectly used buzzword going around at the moment. Even more so than “AI”.
People shortening application to app is not enshittification.
Application is a pretty cumbersome word, too. “Look for XYZ in your application store”, “Go to application view”, etc just doesn’t roll off the tongue as well.
I was using the term “app” long before smartphones were a thing. That said, “program” was the more commonly-used term for me in the 90s.
A simple GTK4 + libadwaita sound recorder. I know it’s probably a 1 day task but we seem to lack a good modern recorder for my favourite DE.
P. S. I smell another downvoted to oblivion moment for liking GNOME
I just have a script that wraps pw-record and ffmpeg to transcode to a mp3 file. I’d also like a GUI for it tho
I must admit I do not understand what’s going on in the first sentence but I do agree that having a GUI is good
Would you take iced/cosmic or tauri? Or it really has to be a GTK4?
I want it to be a GNOME focused app so it should at least comply with all GNOME Circle rules
Sounds good, I’ll consider it heavily as audio/gtk4 would be interesting
A music player for Jellyfin (that support SyncPlay)
doesn’t that exist already? I could swear I saw at least 2 on flathub
Only for movies, not for Audio only, and they mostly don’t support Sync Play (except for the official Client)
But if I missed one feel free to send me the links!
(I know that Finamp are working on a Desktop version though, but not out now and don’t support SyncPlay)
A basic, local text-to-speech app using home assistant’s piper would be great. Feed it a document and have it read the document to you, highlighting along the way.
A Linux implementation of Microsoft’s Powertoys. Having all those utility features in one app would be great.
Could be a decent idea
lemmy client? it would be amazing just to have a tui.
Something like this? https://github.com/mrusme/neonmodem
It uses my Lemmy API client library :3yes, thank you
Something that gives you a reminder after a certain time of using a specific program (a game for example). I wanted to make it on my own but my coding skills are absolute garbage so it probably wouldn’t work very well.
This might help https://codeberg.org/unfa/HyperTimer
edit: Video by the creator https://youtu.be/rmUZ_iem1xw
it needs to be manually set, but a script to run this when you launch the app/game maybe?
A wayland screen recorder. Not everyone needs a complex app like obs. Also, a jellyfin/emby front end maybe?
Like Kooha?
Also, GNOME comes with a pretty great simple screen recorder by default.
Spectacle from KDE is also a pretty good default
