  • Lunar

    Intelligent adaptive brightness for your external monitors

  • Yes, it's not open-source by that definition.

    It was fully open-source until v3: https://github.com/alin23/Lunar/tree/lunar3

    I've kept that around, it's still compilable, but probably not that useful.

    When making Lunar paid in v4, I didn't want to remove the possibility of sharing knowledge, so I kept the non-paid parts open-source.

    This allowed other apps like MonitorControl [1] and DisplayBuddy [2] to port some Lunar features (like DDC on M1) to their own code. So I'd say it's still useful enough.

  • ambiamara

    The Codebase for the Rift Valley Timer Countdown Timer iOS App

  • I don't get into the OSS religious arguments.

    I consider all my stuff to be open source, even the couple of projects that are "source available."[0] I think that it's important to make it all available, if I will call it "open source," but there's no reason, in my mind, to make it so that people can just take my work and use it commercially.

    That said, I generally like to use the MIT license, because I don't like coercive licenses. I just don't like it when people try to coerce me, so I won't do it to them.

    I am currently working on a non-open-source/non-source-available project. Considerable parts of it are open-source (MIT license), but the core app code, as well as a modified variant of my BAOBAB server[1], are proprietary and locked away.
