A friend of mine made a cool calculator and unit converter. It parses natural English phrases like “how many inches are in 3 feet?” and “300 miles / 65 mph in hours and minutes” and “download 10GB 1Gbps”. You can access it from web (including PWA), CLI or as a library. It has a strong FOSS philosophy behind it.

  • I don’t care if AI was used in its creation. I do care if it’s FOSS/libre.

    And also, it’s a bit weird to me that copying YouTube’s UI is considered good. I havent used YouTube in a long time, but I recall there being some good aspects and some bad. Why not create your own vesion of a UI?

  • I used to use photostructure. I like its appearance and feature set (and the developer is a super nice guy), and really like how it leaves my asset files alone but works with sidecars, but i stopped using it because I only use open source software now.

    I currently use Immich* and really like its appearance, features, self-hostability, but dislike how it manages the asset files. Even if i add my assets as an external library, which immich will theoretically not manipulate, the immich apps on iOS and Android will only upload images to a sifferent library that Immich manipulates. I’d have to ignore Immich’s upload feature and roll my own, which is annoying.

    *I realize Futo’s license is not really FOSS. Disapppointing, but at least not peopeietary and secret.

  • Sounds like you already know what you need to know to host Ollama in a Docker container. Ollama is an LLM “engine” - you can interact with LLM models via a CLI or you can integrate them into other services via an API.

    To have a web page chat like ChatGPT or others, I installed OpenWebU. I love it! A friend of mine likes LMStudio, which i think is a desktop app, but I don’t know anything about it.

You receive all the same rights as the classic BSD-3 license: you can use, modify, and distribute the software, including in proprietary and commercial products, with minimal restrictions. The only additional requirement is to preserve the “Open WebUI” branding, as detailed in the LICENSE file. For full terms, see the LICENSE document.

    The license seems to me to say that you can use, modify, redistribute Open-WebUI as you want, but you can’t change the branding unless your instance has <= 50 users (or a couple other conditions are met).
