  • principles

    An open-source list of principles used in software engineering

  • - Nice repository of tips and info for software engineering teams, made by a burnt out team leader: https://principles.dev/

  • pifs

    The compile-time, data-free filesystem. (by ajeetdsouza)

  • > I've always found the "hey Twitter friends, I wrote a guide, buy it for $90 now!" stuff super unethical anyways. First of all, the information they sell that way is 100% available for free somewhere else or is useless. They're usually mediocre in their fields, but have chops for social media marketing.

    true.

    but the fact that every and all information is be encoded within pi[1] does somehow not slience the intellectual property debate.

    probably because arrangement and presentation also have value.

  • Lunar

    Intelligent adaptive brightness for your external monitors

  • I think this is missing the "to fix annoyances, remove frustrations, save time" bullet point.

    That's basically all my own one-person business does (https://lunar.fyi/), it allows people to add adaptive brightness on external monitors, turn off individual monitors from the keyboard etc.

    Things that are simply frustrating to do daily without software help, either because the monitor buttons are hard to press, options hidden under a lot of menus, or a multi-step process is needed.

    And people are paying for it, even though it doesn't help them make money, it doesn't educate or entertain them, and it definitely doesn't help them sell anything.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
