This idea of finding open source repos for people to contribute to has been tried before, but this is definitely one of the best ones I've seen -

Great to see 6 different Jellyfin projects gaining traction on Github this week. Mobile clients (Streamyfin) UI/UX enhancements (KefinTweaks, Jellyfin-Enhanced) Playback features (intro-skipper) Server management (Jellyswarrm) Metadata tools (MetaTube) This will always be a

If you’re old enough to remember 90s Linux FUD from Microsoft, then this hits the same chord. Weasel words that allow you to say anything - “may indicate malicious bot activity” - “can be a sign of vulnerability” (on your static HTML pages?).

I got this email for a static Pages site. It’s got an llms.txt. I’m not worried about bots. But fine, let me know about automated traffic, maybe it’s interesting. But that’s not what’s happening here…

I absolutely love Cloudflare’s products, been using them for a decade - but this new “malicious bots” stuff reeks of FUD

"RAG was a clever workaround for a context-poor era. It helped us bridge the gap between tiny windows and massive documents, but it was always a band-aid." It might have been necessary, but people forget how much of a shitty band-aid it was. Nothing really worked right when RAG

The rest can be pretty vanilla, but the above the fold section of the README is your only shot at conveying the what and why of a project, as well as some social validation (eg. "22k Downloads")

In general, I think it's some type of logo or header image, followed by some relevant badges (testing status, number of downloads, but not a soup of 15 irrelevant badges. Then a TOC in a flat format eg "Docs - Community - Why - Changelog - Bug reports" Then, if it makes sense,

The README is an underappreciated tool for open source marketing. People can't immediately understand your code or the purpose behind your project, and the README will be their first (and maybe only) introduction. What are some examples of great READMEs?

I'm embarassed it's taken me this long to try GhostTTY, but it's mostly because of this fantastic TUI resurgence.

I never knew about this until I had kids, but there is something called "Unblocked Sites" - which is a site with web based games (think Newgrounds if you're old like me) Basically kids find ways to stand these sites up and access them from the classroom. And they've got all

This is a great breakdown on how @cline works. If you’re vibe coding, learn what’s under the hood!
Here's the simplest explanation of @cline's agentic algorithm. It's just a state machine that classifies every request with a tool call into 3 types: 1. Question tools (need clarification) 2. Action tools (gather context) 3. Completion tools (present results) That's it.

<<free stealth model just dropped 🥷>> `code-supernova`: - 200k context window - multi-modal (i.e. image inputs) - "built for agentic coding" - completely free during alpha access via the cline provider: `cline:cline/code-supernova` what are we building this weekend??

The real coding model trade-off isn't price vs quality anymore - it's speed vs quality. I can trust GPT-5 to run with complex tasks, but it's slow. Faster models need more hand-holding, but the speed boost lets me iterate much faster. Leaning toward speed most days.
