Audile: Open source Shazam alternative for android ( f-droid.org )
Just found out about this, seems to recognize my obscure music, at least so far…
Showcase of my browser startup page ( beehaw.org )
I just wanted to show off a cool project I’ve found recently. Dashy is a very customizable dashboard that works perfectly for self-hosting projects. You can monitor any service that is reachable via http/https and use widgets like the universal web search interface, I’ve enabled in my installation....

Where To Find Actually Good Search Engines?
I’m kind of tired of Google sending me to the same 3 sites whenever I search for something. If not the same 3 sites it’s 7 others that are so generic and boring I just feel they’re useless. It’s always makeuseof, androidauthority, or whatever other sites that have useful information but I rarely feel like they are saying...
Tomorrow's Democracy Is Open Source ( www.noemamag.com )
FOSS saved the night!
So, I was hired to make screen visuals for a beauty contest here in my city. I’ve spent 2 weeks doing the visuals in the computer of the people who hired me for this, with whom I have previously worked in the past, so in that computer I have everything to work with After Effects....
Am I the only one who hates these fake PDFs? ( eclecticlight.co )
I was forced to fill out an XFA form (that was pretending to be a PDF) from the Canadian government and the experience left me feeling completely subjugated. The lengths that Adobe go to to make sure that you have the most frustrating experience possible is unbelieveable. Searching for alternatives or help leads you to either:...
Maintained Openboard FOSS Keyboard Fork (Android) ( github.com )
I’ve been using the Openboard keyboard on Android for a while but it seems like the developers have either disappeared, abandoned the project, or are otherwise just MIA/not releasing new versions....

I'm fed up with it, so I'm writing a browser ( adayinthelifeof.nl )
This blogpost starts with me switching of my car radio, and ends with me writing a browser. There is some stuff in between as well....
Stract| A search engine where the user has the ability to see exactly what is going on and customize almost everything about their search results. ( trystract.com )
Chrome & Firefox are a false duopoly. Do we need another option? Should there be a public option? Should it come from Italy?
Mozilla is ~83% funded by Google. That’s right- the maker of the dominant Chrome browser is mostly behind its own noteworthy “competitor”. When Google holds that much influence over Mozilla, I call it a false duopoly because consumers are duped into thinking the two are strongly competing with each other. In Mozilla’s...

Really interesting thoughts on whether the creators of free software really want their users to be free ( werd.io )
I think we have to consider that the principles of the free software movement, revolutionary though they genuinely were, were also set in the same mindset that latterly saw its founder Richard Stallman spectacularly fall from grace. They are principles that deal in software development and licensing in strict isolation, outside...

Open Source Is Struggling And It’s Not Big Tech That Is To Blame ( medium.com )
NeoVim discussion for a tribute to Bram Moolenaar ( github.com )
The Hacker News and reddit.com/r/vim take on NeoVim is frequently that NeoVim has done tremendous harm to the overall Vim community and that the NeoVim developers aren’t respectful to Beam. Having been involved in both commubitues, I have never been able to track where that idea came from. Vim has accelerated in features...
Wavemaker Novel Planning and Writing Software - One of the most impressive creative writing apps I've tried, and it's free! ( wavemaker.co.uk )
I recently stumbled across this superb little word processor, and I’m just blown away by how good it for being made by one dude for free. It’s like a slimmed down version of Scrivener or Papyrus, with a wonderfully simple and easy to use interface....
