Open source robot vacuum, or home-assistant robots in general. All the options available out there are just a bunch of proprietary, patented, cloud-controlled, privacy-invading buckets running on rented software.
A website where people can propose projects that they would like to see exist, and also vote for proposals of other people.
That way we would get a good insight about what people are most interested in, and maybe the proposals with most interest would probably become actual projects.
Or not a website, just make a Lenny community for start
a project for projects?
sup dawg, heard you like projects
ahahah, It just happens to be what I’m doing right now, I don’t usually do “projects” so that’s kind of out of character for me.
hrm… maybe named something like
this_should_exist.Is kinda similar.
A truly decentralized and private internet with no need of government, telco and big brother oversight
are you aware of any projects that could be used as building blocks of such thing? or projects that are in any way related to this idea?
Hyperboria is using cjdns to connect local mesh networks to each other.
the Dat Protocol is something i’ve experimented with before and it seems kind of promising
is that something similar to ZeroNet? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZeroNet | https://zeronet.io/)
yeah, except without artificial scarcity
There’s something called GNUnet, by the FSF obviously
An imageboard that isn’t filled with reactionary trash.
I mean, /b/ doesn’t have much reactionary trash…
It has porn instead
But an ActivityPub based image board would be lovely
some dude is working on it
https://fchan.xyz/ (source code: https://github.com/FChannel0/server)
This dude should be very worried about moderation, because the user of forum like that might not be healthy.
Honestly, that’s more complicated than I even need, though it could be cool. A centralized site using whatever vichan fork and actually good rules / active mods would be incredible.
Yeah, agreed.
BTW, in my experience, 4chan is not all trash. If you stay away from the bigger boards, your experience won’t be that bad. But YMMV.
It’s gotten a lot worse in the past 6-7 years or so, but yeah slower boards can be kinda tolerable if you’re liberal with your filter use. I’ve been using /vr/ a bit still.

An app that scrapes the “print” front page of major newspapers across the world, performs sentiment analysis and shows the mood by region over time in a tidy visualisation.
Bonus if it can do historical data and obscure languages.

A FOSS Music app that’s as good as Musicolet. I got too used to its queue system that now I can’t use any other music app that does it the more “traditional” way. Also multi-select, menus, options and search are just too well done in this app. Literally the best IMO.
The fact that it does so much and is still ad-free and mostly donation-based (iirc) also always makes me reconsider if going full-FOSS is actually worth it at all. It just feels like it was built with so much care… Similar to other non-FOSS apps I used to use.
I guess not everything that’s proprietary sucks
Ever tried emby? Hits in the good spot. it’s the open-source alternative to spotify. understandably some features of their google play app are subscription only. It isn’t cheap maintaining apps in the commercial eco-system.
Much better to recommend Jellyfin instead of Emby.
Navidrome is also an excellent music server that’s very fast and lightweight with great support from multiple mobile apps
A fast and not too memory hungry selfhosted, decentralised chat (Matrix) client, with support for E2E-encryption and voice chat (Mumble?) integration.
Bonus points if it could have different types of “chat” rooms with different user interfaces, such as ones for “ephemeral” content, such as general banter and memes. These could let their content expire after a certain time and have typing indicators and so on.
An other type of room could have a more of a forum style interface, which encourages “slow” chat with more lengthy and content-rich posts. It could remove typing indicators and not automatically display new messages to encourage people writing their thoughts out in one message, instead of feeling pressured to send their messages as quickly as possible.
Basically an all in one application for communities but FLOSS. I don’t necessarily think an all-in-one community application is needed, but Discord proves that’s what people seem to want.
I’m super excited for matrix’s new server, dendrite.
Duolingo but it’s maths.
Like, it teaches you all of maths from stuff as simple as small addition all the way up to complicated things like calculus and integration. It would have problem generators that keep feeding you practice questions until you can do it all from heart.
I’d call the app “Euler”, after the prolific mathematician.
Do you know about Project Euler? https://projecteuler.net/
It contains a mixture of math and programming problems, and a similar name to the one you propose! :-)

Khan Academy has something similar in their iPad app.
Anarchist run instance of Lemmy.
But I guess you mean open-source software project?
A massive news aggregator that uses AI to be able to categorize news from all around the world in a way that allows one to filter through news articles with specific biases. This would make it easier to get a more balanced picture of world events, and would be an excellent research tool to study propaganda.
Distributed social network based on IPFS/IPLD.
What project do you want to exist?
Hmm, honestly a new kind of decentralized social media. most of what exists now are just alternatives. if a unique social media came out of nowhere from the fediverse It would gain alot of traction. (not just because It’s decentralized but because It offers something different)
social media has gamified elements, and often times games are similar, but not quite there yet. in conclusion the easiest unique thing to make is a fully gamified social media app. we have levels instead of followers, and we gain XPs for every follow, like, comment, etc. whatever game-like elements can be added here in the concept but I would guess older people might get embarrassed if we go off a bit like making a ‘2D room user interface’ and ‘2D avatars’ or even pokemon worlds or whatever.
The technology you need for this is coming to a Fediverse near you :D
Christopher Lemmer Webber, activitypub spec co-author has plans to create Fantasary as part of Spritely Project. It is a proof-of-concept, and based on this technology all kinds of games you can imagine come within reach of any fedi developer.
WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA. ARE YOU KIDDING NOW??
I’m so excited, I’m glad that It’s finally happening.
There’s already some other game-like stuff happening on Fedi. Like Immers Space with federated 3D virtual worlds.
doesn’t Misskey have like a virtual room thing?
never heard about it, what is that?
idk, i just saw a couple of references to it on their English-language homepage. there’s a page for it in the docs, but i can’t read Japanese
I’d be really interested in seeing how something like that plays out.
del.icio.us but in its prime
