wefx

3 20 6.1 C

Basic WASM graphics package to draw to an HTML Canvas using C. In the style of the gfx library

Project mention: The Tools I Use to Write Books (2018) | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-05-16

I've used a similar pipeline to create "books for code and infrastructure". A/k/a coding in a somewhat literate programming style. Similar to what is described here:
gemini://gemini.robrohan.com/2022-04-23-narrative-programming.md
With output that looks similar to this: https://github.com/robrohan/wefx/blob/main/docs/manual.pdf
Using a github action like this: https://github.com/robrohan/wefx/blob/main/.github/workflows...
(most of the code borrowed from those projects)
You can do it with just plain markdown files and use directories for chapters / organization if you're just going for prose.
I've thought about using the process to try to make open textbooks where you can mix and match chapters, but I don't have any experience in that field.
Anyway, can confirm, it's an incredibly useful process.
puavo-os

1 7 10.0 C

Puavo OS is an disk image based operating system that is built from Debian GNU/Linux and is specifically designed for learning.

Project mention: Best part about school using linux: tuxpaint | reddit.com/r/linuxmemes | 2023-02-01

In Finland, a Linux distribution called Puavo OS based on Debian is quite widely used in primary and seconday schools. It is an open source project of Jyväskylä-based Opinsys Oy and it is sold as a service where pre-owned laptops and desktops are sold with a maintenance contract for a monthly price per student. Puavo OS is a very reasonable solution for schools, because it has a strongly integrated management software, synchronization of usernames and directories from the server, and all programs pre-installed. Pre-owned Thinkpads and HP Elitebooks are significantly more affordable than new Windows machines and their maintenance costs are only a fraction of Windows machines. In addition to Finland, Puavo OS is also used in some schools in Switzerland and Germany. Here's a good video about Puavo OS.

NOTE: The open source projects on this list are ordered by number of github stars. The number of mentions indicates repo mentiontions in the last 12 Months or since we started tracking (Dec 2020). The latest post mention was on 2023-02-01.
