What's the Best Open Source Tool You've Discovered Recently?


For me it was the open source e-ink display TRMNL[2] which I learned about via ATP and Snazzy labs[1].

Open WebUI[1] for a ChatGPT type experience locally hosted. Very impressive set of features and development velocity - so much so Qwen team using it now rather than building their own [2]

Best thing I've found recently is nushell[0], paired with jc [1] it's pretty much the best shell I've ever used.

Now that I have an actually useful 3d printer, I really have gotten into FreeCad. Hopefully in a few more months I'll grok it well enough to gork/rewrite the gear generator tool kit. The rack generator, for example has no notion of where the pitch line is. This makes proper designs with mating gears a matter of trial and error.
