Can you share some ideas for programming projects? I have time but no ideas.
How about a cross-platform yt-dlp GUI made in the Qt framework?
Very specific but I'm sure people would appreciate a GUI for it.
I’ve been wanting to make an app or web service that lets people see which companies in their local supermarkets are up to shady and oppressive activities elsewhere. It would recommend an alternative that’s lower down the list of creepiness. That way, we can stop funding them to hurt our fellow humans, wildlife and planet.
The first data set (brands for sale in a country) are easy to establish for a person but I’m not sure how you would do that programmatically.
For the second data set (relative evilness), I’ve seen ranked lists online of how ethical certain brands are but I’m not sure how comprehensive and up-to-date they are or how you tap into those programmatically.
I’m happy to partner with someone on a project like this, although without coding skills my contribution wouldn’t be equal.
I don't have the time for that either. I'm working full time and that kind of project is better suited for a student with lots of free time. :)
What's your skill level?
I can build what I want, it's more about having ideas in think. Except math intensive things, I'm not interested in algorithms.
This is my current idea. I have been asked by my family to get a private messaging solution so we can all share pictures etc, basically facebook but we have control of our own data. Friendica is close and takes care of the web side, but doesn't have an effective messenger.
So, the idea is to use this https://github.com/mesibo/messenger-app-android and integrate it so it uses the profiles configured in our Friendica instance.
When this is done, Friendica will be a truely viable alternative to Facebook that anyone can use. Long term goal is a one-click installer to set up all of the above on AWS or something, so that any family can have their own private facebook and federate with their friends.
You can use Signal
Where is the data stored, and is it easily manageable?

You could try contributing to an existing open-source project.
