letsblockit
Discontinued Remove low-quality content and useless nags, focus on what matters. A community-maintained uBlock Origin filter set.
SEEKING VOLUNTEERS: https://letsblock.it - https://github.com/letsblockit/letsblockit/
A companion project for uBlockOrigin that curates a corpus of content blocking templates, and provides the server to create you personal list of content blocking rules. The official instance just hit 800 active lists and a lot of template suggestions have been filed recently.
The easiest way to contribute is to create new templates, fix or extend existing ones. You need to learn the uBlockOrigin syntax and how to properly target the right elements, happy to mentor! See recent PRs for examples and https://github.com/letsblockit/letsblockit/blob/main/data/fi... for documentation.
The server itself is built with Go and HTMX, it's pretty low-maintenance, but there's interesting improvements if you want to toy with it (need to open issues for these).

SEEKING VOLUNTEERS: TablaM relational language (https://tablam.org)
TablaM is an in-progress programming language to provide a more ergonomic experience for building data-oriented applications.
This means that where most languages are focused on low-level details or engineering at large, TablaM is tailored with some small & big design decisions to make it enjoyable to write applications for e-commerce, finance, ERPs, and similar.
Cool things:
- TablaM marry the array + relational models. It means we should get very little need for manual loops and all the ops are vectorized.

SEEKING VOLUNTEERS: GoStreams (or Lightning)
It's an almost real-time data streaming service for the polygon.io data provider.
It's a project that I started a couple of years ago during the pandemic. I've developed several data-sinks for this service (KDB, QuestDB, Postgres), but it's become more of a Theseus' Ship, development is never ending!
The aim is to build a backtester that will attach to this data service.
https://github.com/tranquilo12/goStreams
The README is outdated, but the gist of the project is that it's trying to be a service that can download all the historical data, and will stream the live data to a data-sink, without any issues, and with a good terminal ui.
I'm also thinking of integrating the Charm's libraries with this too, love a good TUI. (https://charm.sh/)
Anyone up for this?

SEEKING VOLUNTEERS: Assertables (Rust crate)
https://github.com/sixarm/assertables-rust-crate
Assertables is a Rust crate that provides assert macros for strings, sets, streams, and more. This helps Rust coders write better clearer tests, and get better clearer error messages.
The aim is to encourage more developers to try Assertables. If you're a coder, want to write more macros? If you're a writer, want to improve the docs? If you're a testing advocate, want to reach out to developers to ask them to try Assertables?
The project is 100% free open source pro bono.
