I wish there was a good looping software that good take any song and cut the perfect infinite loop of it automatically.
ed(1) but with a left pane and right pane, where the left had the content of the file and scrolled to where you are editing and the right is just regular ed output.
An app for Android (Google TV) that lets you change the volume on a per-application basis. Like a mixer. I want to be able to set Disney+ to 200%, Netflix to 130% and Youtube to 80%.
If you’re using Samsung, check out Soundassistant from Goodlock.
No Samsung. I want this for my Google Streamer.
This software probably already exits but I have been trying to make 3D panoramas. My current workflow is to take the 3D left-right images and separate them into left images and right images using a bash script. Then use Hugin to make two panoramas and combine them with gimp. It’s kind of a pain. It would be nice hugin cloud just the 3D images and do it all for me.
Kind of reminds me of Goblin Valley. I don’t think it is. Too green and rocks are the wrong color. But first thing that came to mind.
Recommendation algorithm/engine for self hosted media server. If someone knows where I can get a large amount of watch data for a large amount of people I could write such a thing.
I have 2 years tautulli logs for a plex server of 10 users. Only has 3-4 users regularly watch stuff and 90% is my kids watching that same thing over and over, hahhaha. Maybe one day I’ll find good use of the data.
I would probably try implement Netflix’s algorithm which is essentially finding what u haven’t seen that has been seen by people who watch things similar to what u watch. Essentially just heigh dimensional embedding and some clustering. So u would want at least 1000 (absolute bare minimum) users.
Data is only really usefull in the context of all other users. So 3-4 users of data on their own don’t really give any useful insights.
Totally agree my data has no value here :) I have considered charting genre viewing preferences and how it’s changed over the years but that’s years away.
Slightly related, I have a service that’s been tracking my music history for about 10 years. It’s fun to see how my tastes have changed!
The place u might find some interesting insights are the timestamps of when things get watched. If u got a health tracker I recon u might find interesting correlations between that and watch data.
How will u classify a taste? U can always eyeball it but perhaps embedding it within a vector dB might work. If u also dump in a large catalogue of just general population music sample u can get a full genre landscape and see how u fit into it.
Ohh that’s really smart! I’ve been tracking my workouts for almost 2 years. I really like the idea classifying my taste in music. Will definitely my it on my list of projects!
If u do pls publish the code under a foss licence and send me a link.
Navigation app the prioritizes things important to me. I’ll got an extra distance if I turn less or I right turn only or I have no speed bumps.
Brouter used to be capable of this, but it was configured with JSON.
I wish for something for summer months, I don’t care if the route is longer if I walk in the shade.
Edit: it’s a full blown programming language https://brouter.de/brouter/index.html
Digimon.
I have to carry my phone with me everywhere I go, I want a little guy that is personal and unique to me, it gets points for stuff I do, and them I can battle with other people who have their own little guys.
Pokémon go doesn’t cut it for me, the battle isn’t Pokemon. The games are great but it’s me playing the guy not me being the guy.
I have the whole thing on paper but learning the programming to make it is discouraging and I’m already in college and writing full time
So, kinda like Pou, but with PvP?
Yeah. I even wanted to include an account based scanner for loot. You’d be able to scan barcodes and qr to get loot, battles, and stuff, but after the first scan it would remember and lock that reward so you could reclaim it daily.
I imagined players keeping little collections of barcodes so you could easily reclaim useful loot and when players meet in the wild they could scan up each others collections to get codes they may hot have found in the wild.
Sort of reminds me of Habbie
Yeah, but with a unique leveling system and PvP.
GPS app that gave more control over routing. You can use waypoints, but the ETA is based on the waypoint instead of destination, and you have to manually continue navigation once you reach the waypoint.
Have you tried Magic Earth, i seem to remember it being quite robus for that but ymmv
I have not. May need to take a look.
One that will tell you how far to the next rest stop
Or gas station or fast food or pizza place. With a “within 2 miles of route” and in the next 30 mins of travel. Would be great for family trips.
Some of them do it now. The problem is they are terrible at it. I just assume it’s because they are putting the paid ads first and so you end up getting routed 70 miles off route.
I wish there’d be a proper family tree generator, I’ve been searching for one for so long. All the things existing now seem to be old and made to create actual existing family trees with lots of limitations, but I’d really need a tool to use for world building and that kind of stuff. To allow you create profiles with a lot of data for the characters in the tree, so you could view the info in some easy way, maybe by clicking to open an info window, or something like that. To be able to easily link them to each other with other things than just family relations (like friends, lovers, enemies…). Being able to properly put a picture on the profiles so it would show there in the tree, not just a name. Just being able to properly view the whole family tree at once by zooming in and out would be so nice, and to link it with other family trees etc…
There are games that have some family tree functions, but I don’t need nor want a gaming experience. I want to do these things freely, not with having to play some shit to be able to unlock something, or to have family trees generated around just played characters. I’ve tried using mind map generating stuff as well, but they have limited features, and it’s difficult to just create branches with them since everything is supposed to link back to one single thing.
If anyone knows about something like this existing somewhere, please do tell me!
MS Vizio can do what you’re talking about. It’s a flow chart designer on crack. I’d bet there’s quite a few modules designed for family tree building you can get for it.
Instead of a family tree planner, maybe start looking at flow chart builders? Or workflow planners or project management schedulers. They all can do something like what you’re talking about, even if they’re not directly designed for purpose of family tree diagrams.
Thank you, I’ll look into those!
Yeah I’m trying to avoid MS if possible, especially since I probably have to try to make the jump to linux eventually with how things are going. I probably need to at least try Visio though, to see is it able to do what I want, so far I’ve had no luck with alternatives for it.
For example draw.io doesn’t seem to work for this (I’ve tried before as well), since I really need easy auto arranging for the nodes for it to be usable enough - and I haven’t been able to do that with it. So far the only thing that I’ve found to work even relatively well for what I want to do has been this even with it’s many limitations, since it allows to just pulling the lines wherever and it will auto arrange everything. When the trees grow to crazy sizes (over a hundred etc.), it’s almost impossible to make things work without the auto arranging, otherwise I wouldn’t even need the tools I’m looking for…
I really want an all-in-one android app that just let me connect 2 portable ssds (via a usb hub) and then make a list of hashes for the folder structure and file names along with the hashes, all on a single sor of “index” file and I can run a “verify” function like every so often (like maybe once a week?) to check if there are any decay, also copy everything to the 2nd drive, and then run the verify to check if its done correctly, and correct any file corruptions.
Like its a very ghetto way to doing a NAS on a budget, but its just a $50 spare android phone connected to a usb hub with the power connected, and a bunch of drives attached.
I can run hash checks manually with some F-Droid apps, and keep the hashes on a file, but there us no way to automate this.
I want a something lime custom radio station that combines my music playlists and podcasts with local and world news, maybe have it read news using some nice ai voice if it has to be trendy
I’m willing to pay for this to help local news businesses stay afloat
I’m looking for an app (on Android) that not only keeps track of birthdays, but also lets you add an extra date if that person has passed away. So it will display someone’s age correctly instead of just counting on. And give reminders of both their birth- and their dying day. If it exists, please let me know…
Anyone suggest a decent FOSS CAD program good for designing 3d prints? IDK if there is one.
The only 2 I know are FreeCAD and OpenCAD, neither quite “good”, just passable, I guess
FreeCAD is what I’ve been using. Works pretty well for 99% of things, and good Youtube tutorials out there.

A weather widget on Android that shows all of current temp, high/low for the day, and high/low remaining for the day.
-
I don’t think this needs to be a whole app, or just a feature within a camera app, but I want the ability to underlay an existing image at say 10% transparency on screen while taking a photo. It doesn’t get saved, I just want to be able to use it as a guide for framing things, like documenting changes on sites or recreating old photos for fun.

I want to be able to open a line of communication to another driver nearby. Maybe a range of 100ft. I don’t know if it’s Bluetooth or what. “Hey your taillight is out” “hey coming up in your blindspot” “hey, please can I merge I’m not trying to be a dick” “hey is this the exit for Wawa?”
For weather, the hottest/coldest part of the day are almost always around the same time. If you know those, it’s pretty easy to say “the temp right now is the hottest it will be for the rest of the day”, or “the high for today will be the hottest when we get there”.
Yeah, you’re right. I’d still just like to see it. Maybe something like this:
64° ─────●────────▲───── 83°
With the dot showing the current temp within the day range and the arrow (up or down) showing if there is still a high or low spot left. As in, not the high for the day, maybe that’s already past, but just to say, “there’s a still a bit of hot left later”
Sounds like something that could be made in KWGT. This is the custom home widget I made with weather info.
There’s a weather widget preset you can import to use as a template to see how it works, and then you can add on to it from there.
The amount of road rage induced shit talking that would be done via car-to-car communication would outweigh every benefit it could provide.
Yeah, I won’t deny the potential for abuse. On the other hand, I think a lot of road rage comes from the disinhibiting effect of being alone in your car. I’d love to see a study to see if road rage can be reduced by letting people communicate.
Open camera has that. Settings > Camera preview… > Ghost image
Yo. Yooooo! Thank you!
CB radio is pretty popular depending on where you live. You’ll start recognizing antennae everywhere once you get a kit and start messing around with it.
Won’t hit everyone but it’s pretty fun community usually. Trucks and just general weirdos, the occasional douche canoe but mostly good

I think about this every time I’m on the highway, it would be so fun/useful.
I said it in another reply but I’ll say it again here, CB radio is awesome. Especially on the highway there’s tons of trucker chatter and just general nonsense.
Huh, why didn’t I think of that? Thanks

Might exist, or maybe there’s some API that I can utilize in which case I could script it. I’ve done a very cursory search but nothing stood out.
I would love something that would grab x most popular songs from an artist/genre/year range that I have in my music library and create a playlist file. For if I’m just feeling like some “greatest hits” style music. And I don’t want an LLM involved.
I want an app that existed, and was killed before it’s time by Intuit. Level Money
You put in (and it learned over time) your expenses, and it gave you a single number which was how much you could spend per day. It adjusted as you went, so if you under/overspent it adjusted.
It wasn’t perfect, but was the last time I had a firm handle on my finances.
Fuck you Intuit, burn in every hell imagine able for your myriad of sins including this minor one comparatively.
Have you looked at your banks budgeting software? One of the key features mine has is it learns how transactions are categorized, so future ones will be categorized the same way even if the amount changes. While it’s far from perfect, it is a huge factor in making useful.
I used to try various money management tools but this made a huge convenience difference
This kinda locks you into one bank which is not ideal
I use CapitalOne, they have some things but nothing exactly right.
I have also tried every budgeting software under the sun, and Level was the only one that worked for me sadly. I’ve thought about using vibe coding (not a mobile dev) to makey own android app to do something similar but also super lazy lol.
Ever tried the old over engineered Excel doc trick?
Sucks because you have to do manual data entry but you’ll get whatever level of granular control your heart desires.
I’m sure there’s ways to design something similar to the auto leveling budget effect you liked, but it’s beyond my skills.
Have you tried Cashew? I’ve tried tons of apps and it’s easily the best
No, but I just downloaded it! Thanks for the rec!
I work in IT and we get at least a dozen broken QuickBooks tickets a week. I fucking hate intuit and their products
