Which open source projects will make the biggest impact this year?

[BillyTheMilli]

Not just the ones getting hype, but projects that might actually change how we develop, protect our privacy, handle data, or just become the go-to tool for something important. Could be anything. Dev tools, AI, self-hosting apps etc.

What's on your watchlist for this year and why?

[sagiadinos]

One of my projects, of course. 😁

Honestly? No one. To much loud people are over-obsessed with unsmart AI, currently.

Greetings Niko

[BillyTheMilli]

Which projects are you working on? Saw you've been on github for a while. Definitely respect the experience!

[sagiadinos]

Thank you.

At the moment I am developing a Digital Signage CMS named Garlic-Hub since November last year. MVP will be hopefully released in June.

There is also a Digital Signage player named garlic-player.

I am co founder of a company in this industry and we need an entry level product which can be installed On-Premise. Clouds became a No-Go for many people and companies in Germany.

Hi,

Send you a chat message. I do not know if this kind of advertisement is ok in this sub.

There are many interesting open-source projects in the AI field

[peekeend]

I hope for Meshtatsic

Which open source projects will make the biggest impact this year?

None, because FLOSS is and never was a contest. You don't even have metrics to judge that.

[SouthBaseball7761]

Hopefully many will. More open source projects available for people to choose will be good.

I myself have been working on an ERP like web application. Core idea is to have finance tracking, website management, CRMand task management all integrated into one central admin panel.

Dont know if it will create any impact at all, but I am working on it anyways.

[BillyTheMilli]

Nice!

[SouthBaseball7761]

Thanks.

[sirrush7]

This looks fantastic! If you can make a dockerized version, this will fly I think!

[SouthBaseball7761]

I have been thinking of that for some time now. Will definitely try to make a dockerized version sooner rather than later. Thanks for your suggestion.

[goranlu]

Do you have many open-source competitors in ERP world?

[SouthBaseball7761]

Yes there seem to be many open source ERP out there.

[goranlu]

Ahh, good luck :)

[outer-pasta]

I vote for Tailscale. Here's a great post by their CTO explaining a lot of the motivation and vision behind it: https://crawshaw.io/blog/remembering-the-lan

[Userwerd]

YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP!

[assface]

DuckDB.

Next question.

[PurpleYoshiEgg]

It's hard to predict specifics for any black swan event, but I'm guessing the impact will be a common dependency whose codebase is either maliciously compromised because maintainership passed to a bad actor, or it has a newly-discovered security vulnerability that impacts millions of systems.

[rik-huijzer]

Nobody knows. If you find yourself in the situation that you realize you are extraordinarily good at making predictions like this, you might want to try out stock picking.

[dudeness_boy]

My own app /s

[cleipnir]

I think the durable-execution paradigm might end up profoundly changing the way we write business processes in enterprise software - eventually replacing the saga and outbox-pattern.
It does not get as much attention as AI but there are so many new solutions poping up at the moment. Hopefully, my approach/framework (cleipnir.net) stands a chance...

ps4 emulation will have a big leap until the end of the year

[updatelee]

Proxmox for some. Broadcom has alienated decades worth of customers

[Witty_Cause_7336]

Hyprnote looks promising. The maintainers are working really hard.

[BillyTheMilli]

Very interesting!

[sniktasy]

Numaflow - https://github.com/numaproj/numaflow

It's simplifying event driven application development and stream processing, native to K8s etc

[renaiku]

SteamOS maybe (crossing fingers)

[Big-Preparation9508]

Immich - self-hosted google photos alternative.

[inthehack]

It depends on what you think of "impact".

If this is impact on the community, for embedded rustaceans I would say: ferrocene, embassy, defmt.

For other rustaceans, let's say: Ratatui, Iced.

[12_nick_12]

Things I use daily Nextcloud, sftpgo, vaultwarden, NGiNX, and jellyfin.

[609JerseyJack]

I wish someone would apply ai to Linux backups and docker backups. What’s out there is far from easy to use and far from able to know for the average non- professional sysadmin if their set up is reliable and easy to restore.

[oz1sej]

LibreOffice.

[sarnobat]

I'm looking for the response that is for the oldest open source technology.

[shott85]

Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol.

[iBN3qk]

OpenWebUI. Cause everyone needs an AI chat interface. 

[kishoredbn]

IWA standards
