  • git-bug

    Distributed, offline-first bug tracker embedded in git, with bridges

  • (Disclaimer: I work for GitHub, but not on issues, and I've only been here 6 months)

    The counterpoint to this is that GitHub has been around for a long time and I don't think all of these free features are going anywhere. Even beyond that, there's an API you can use to get your data out and lots of tools build on that API.

    https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug came up here recently and that looks pretty good, though I haven't tried it. I suspect the usability of a lot of these tools will lag behind GitHub Issues/Projects.

  • wants

    A repository of wants

  • I don't understand human-query-engine. The link to it in the <https://github.com/samsquire/wants> README is also broken.

  • InfluxDB

  • human-query-engine

    Data collection through random question asking

  • I was interested in quantified self for qualitative statements and the social aspect of asking strangers questions to try reveal interesting things.

    I enjoy using Quora.

    I generate random questions based on permutations of templates a bit similar to a madlib generator but for questions.

    I had another project that could collect salary data and stock market portfolio's based on statements you add to the system. it was a personal data collection syste that was programmed to produce useful functions based on what you tell the system.

    The idea was meant to be used to give targeted advice and judgements or evaluations to people. It's a bit similar to a choose your own adventure book but with advice or a problem flow chart.

    There's another attempt here

  • living-documents

    product development (by samsquire)

  • fact-collector

  • https://github.com/samsquire/fact-collector

    This one uses prolog to collect statements then shows statistics of your collection.

  • healthkit-to-sqlite

    Convert an Apple Healthkit export zip to a SQLite database

  • > Technically I’m actively maintaining all of them, in that if someone reports a bug I’ll push out a fix.

    Ironically, I toned down my enthusiasm for this author's (many) projects after my initial perusing led me to something interesting[0] that didn't work, and the subsequent issues and minor (but linked to issues!) PRs I contributed went completely without response for the last few years. They're still open.

    To be clear, I'm grateful for the work the author is freely providing for me and the world! And I could certainly do a better job with some of the projects I help maintain as well. He's under no obligation to respond to issues if he doesn't have time or just doesn't want to. But it does speak to how difficult it can be to maintain over a hundred projects, even if you have a system.
