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.

Would it be possible to clone the snipping tool from windows?

[-] doggle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 7 months ago

Flameshot pretty much already does this, though perhaps not as elegantly

A graphical SSH client similar to Termius

A gui for a tunneling solution such as rathole or FRP.

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 speech-to-text / dictation system geared towards writing documentation.

I wrote a version of this in Python a few years ago, but it depended on external tools like ffmpeg to work, limiting its portability. The Python requirement was also a major factor for adoption.

If it were ported to Rust, doing the (de)serialisation internally, I believe that it could have far-reaching implications on how we share and consume news:

If you're interested, I presented the Python version at PyCon UK a while back.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

presented the Python version

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

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.

1 Custom GLIBC locale configurator

Pick date format, time format, currency I'm currently using a weird combination of English, German, and Danish and it still doesn't fully do what I want (time is separated with a dot)

2 System hosts manager

Search, detect conflicts or other issues and add new items.

3 XCompose manager

I made something like this myself some time ago but it uses the outdated GTKSharp library and misses several features such as conflict detection. https://github.com/QazCetelic/Composition

4 Package manager

This might be a bit complicated, but it would be really neat to have an app to manage packages that doesn't freeze, crash or fail.

5 Port your app to tauri

I saw you're using Electron, you could port it to Tauri https://tauri.app/

[-] Fredol@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

It used to be tauri, but due to a bug in tauri that lasted more than a year, I had to switch to electron. I've been thinking of switching back, but I've got other priorities

[-] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 7 months ago

Maybe a Linux-native Lemmy app? Or a client for Mastodon? Pixelfed, PeerTube?

Or a GUI for the Rust-based rescrobbled project?

[-] LovePoson@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

I second this. The only lemmy client that exists worked quite badly for me

[-] brayd@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 7 months ago

An actually good alternative to Notion for Linux.

"application", not "app". Please don't let phone tech companies enshittify our language.

A wayland screen recorder. Not everyone needs a complex app like obs. Also, a jellyfin/emby front end maybe?

A text web browser that actually lets you log in to websites.

Frontend for AOL that looks like regular desktop AOL but without all the ads and popups. If only because it's something I doubt anyone would make before the EOL of Windows 10.

[-] GustavoM@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

A "stupidly minimal" cli package that monitors power usage in real time. Bonus points if it is written in C++, with zero dependencies.

[-] Fredol@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

doesn't powertop already do this?

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
