    Free Life Planner: An AI tool for helping with planning for day-to-day life.

  • I've been working on some free/libre open source software for 22 years designed to help people survive poverty and related conditions, such as homelessness, disability, illness, relationship abuse, etc. It's called the Free Life Planner (FLP). Its website is here: https://github.com/aindilis/free-life-planner I really need to rewrite the introduction to the FLP GitHub page since it doesn't explain the concept well enough, although the following use case does explain it more: https://frdcsa.org/~andrewdo/writings/homeless-story.html If anyone is interested in collaborating that would be fantastic, there's already a Vagrant image of FLP (but it's heavily redacted and out of date) available here: https://app.vagrantup.com/aindilis We're also working on finishing the installer for both FLP and the middleware that it runs on top of, called FRDCSA ( https://frdcsa.org ). The installer for FRDCSA when fixed up will be available here: https://github.com/aindilis/frdcsa-installer I would love to see a free/libre open source video game that used the tech involved. The goal of FLP is to help people get on top of every security, such as food, water, financial, emotional, cyberphysical, etc etc.
