I'm interested in using Vespucci app to help contribute to OpenStreetMap but I do not have cell service, I don't have data or GPS, it's wi-fi only so no working GPS.

I can't figure out how to use Vespucci with a offline phone when outside.

Neostumbler has has a huge update! Better maps, higher scan interval, customizability!

It is an app to contribute to open geolocation through wifi, cell towers or bluetooth beacons. This is faster, energy efficient, resilient and can be fully anonymous.

The database is beacondb.net and can already be used!

Hi, I was wondering which FOSS options have you used for online surveys and how was your experience using them, which ones would you recommend?

A Nextbike client without Google Play service dependencies.

The only feature from the normal app that is not available is the booking via the map (no Google Maps, bikes must be booked via QR code) and thus the reservation function.

The rest works without any problems.

Open TV is an ultra fast IPTV player for Linux, MacOS and Windows.

Since the last time I posted here, Open TV has changed a lot. I took all the feedback from lemmy, github and hackernews and worked very hard on the last few months to deliver the best IPTV experience on desktop. Here's all the cool new stuff:

  • EPG and EPG Notifications (TV guide)
  • Download vods and movies
  • Re-stream channels to allow multiple devices/people to watch from a single iptv subscription
  • Optional keyword search
  • Editable sources in Settings
  • Option to refresh sources on start in Settings
  • Custom sources, channels and groups you can share and import with the .otv, .otvg and .otvp formats
  • Support for custom http headers in m3u
  • Much more robust m3u processing
  • Vastly improved error handling and reporting with both in-app error messages and logging
  • More settings added like default volume and default view
  • Scroll to load more
  • Improved hotkeys and UI/UX
  • A ton of bug fixes
  • The app was added to scoop (scoop.sh)!

Open TV is a solo open source project. If you enjoy using the app, feedback and bug reports are super appreciated. Donations are also very welcome and always appreciated, no matter the amount.

Hi everybody. I have a rooted phone and I was thinking, If I can spin up something like Samsung DEX on my phone, alongside my android, that uses Linux, I can do 80% of my work just with my phone. Is that doable? Can someone provide me with more information?

I'm creating a JavaScript UI framework for my own projects. It's a learning journey and I'd like to share my progress.

I've written some blog posts about my progress so far:

  1. Functional Web Components - https://positive-intentions.com/blog/dim-functional-webcomponents
  2. Functional Todo App - https://positive-intentions.com/blog/dim-todo-list
  3. Async State Management - https://positive-intentions.com/blog/async-state-management
  4. Bottom-up Browser Storage - https://positive-intentions.com/blog/bottom-up-storage

Note: The UI framework is far from finished. I want to share progress to see if there are any outstanding issues I'm overlooking.

Hi, I have recently found this as an alternative to the great RCX which has been outdated for quite a long time now. RSAF has been updated a few days ago to use the latest version of rclone, 1.69.0. I am just leaving this here in case someone doesn't know about it.

I've watched their tutorials and asked questions on the forum without success; looks like I may have to use the HTML/CSS editor, but can't seem to figure out how it works exactly.

For the moment, I'm just trying to move text around on the header and make some other associated tweaks; I can go into more detail if this sounds like it might be up your alley (ok, that sounds kind of weird, but I guess you know what I mean . . . )

Would be much obliged for any help!

I'm trying to get TTS working on OSM, but I read that you have to have a TTS engine outside of the app. Any recommendations for an FOSS (and private) TTS engine from f-droid?

Hello,

I wanted to finetune StyleTTS 2 with my own voice and it was very tedious to create the training data by hand. I could not find an application specifically to create this kind of voice training data, so I made my own. I have been working on this for about a week so it's still a work in progress. Please feel free to add ideas, suggestions, or requests.

Here is the description:

Phonotate.App is a local, open-source Electron app built with React designed to simplify creating training data for StyleTTS 2 and voice cloning models. Phonotate provides a seamless workflow for recording, analyzing, and managing voice samples. Whether you use open-source backend services or OpenAI APIs, this app ensures that all your data remains secure and within your control.

You can see screenshots of the application in action on the README.

It allows to launch exported activities from various apps and helps to create useful shortcuts

2 examples where I find it to be quite useful:
1. Quick Record shortcut for Audio Recorder

It currently does not have a quick recording shortcut.
Audio Recorder Gitlab issue where a user requests the feature. Maybe attention from someone here would be helpful?

You can directy search for the app in Activity manager, open it and create a a shortcut for the Recording activity.

2. Shortcut to open Android/data folder in the native Files app

Context for the folder location I use hereFor Android 11 & onwards, you can't access the Android/data folder(without root) from regular file manager apps like Material files(awesome opensource file manager).
The Telegram X app stores it's downloaded files in a folder there.
Material files calls the native Android Files(not GFiles, documentsui.files) app to open the Android/data folder.
Activity manager can be used to create a shortcut for that

  1. Search for and open the Files app in Activity Manager and choose the Launch with parameters option for the FilesActivity
  2. Action, choose ACTION_VIEW
  3. Data = content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/document/primary%3AAndroid%2Fdata%2Forg.thunderdog.challegram%2Ffiles%2Fdocuments or any other directory you like
  4. Mime type, choose vnd.android.document/directory

You can then launch the activity with the parameter.
This will be recorded in History(the clock sign). You can long-press the entry and create a Shortcut.


Do you have any other cases or ideas where this would be usedul? Please do share them here.


On a tangent, Material files allows making shortcuts to files and folders. Markor, text editor app, allows the same too.

I really hope the answer is "yes," but gosh-darned if I can find one. The FreeTube app still works as long as my VPN is off, but as for Invidious . . . (also, sorry if this has already been covered earlier).

EDIT: Ok, well now it looks like I can get FreeTube to work with some Mullvad locations but not others . . .

Is there was a software (preferably on Linux) where I can drag and drop to quickly make a website with HTML and CSS and export the resulting code?

I know of a lot of online site that charge a lot of money for this, but I was hoping that an open source software exists for this.

P.S: I want to make a simple static personal website. Possible have a link from where they can download PDF samples of my writing/ literature / creative work.
