If you wish to know how much time you spend on websites, like for example Mastodon, you can use our Qowala browser plugin to let you know.

You can follow the link below for Firefox. It is also compatible Chrome, but not in the store.

The plugin is part of the bigger Qowala project in order to help you master your usage of social networks. Do not spend too much time on websites and take a fresh air!

Si vous utilisez Google Classroom dans votre organisation, j'ai publié une appli open source que j'ai réalisée pour mon école pour faciliter la création de Classroom en masse.

J'ai écrit un article pour expliquer le contexte, les difficultés techniques et pourquoi j''ai choisi de le rendre open source.

Libre à vous de réutiliser et de contribuer !

Do you know of a nice todo list app? I'm searching one since months, but can't find one that suits me.
I would like it to be Open Source and very user-friendly.

For the moment, Todoist has a nice interface, but is not Open source. TaskWarrior is powerful, but has no UI and is complicated to setup between several devices.

I would like also to know if it would be possible to estimate time for tasks, and get the schedule automatically organized in my calendar.

Oh, there is an Indiegogo crowdfunding for a project called Muonium.
It is an encrypted and Open Source cloud project.

They want to protect the data and care about privacy. It may be good to support them.

And they seems to be French, yeah ! 🇫🇷

Purism has a roadmap to have the Free Software Foundation's Certification on its hardware

I think it is a good project to support because there are not so much people who have the motivation and the skills to work on Open Source Hardware.

Do you know how much time you spend on social networks?
At Qowala we have released the first version of our plugin to inform you about the time you spend on social networks every day.

It is available on Firefox: addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firef

Please give us feedback!

PS: It is Open Source and cares about your privacy

PS2: I don't go much on Twitter, as you can see on the screenshot

In fact, I dream of a solution that allows to store links, but also all kind of documents like PDF of even pictures of text (that I can take from a magazine and that would be scanned by OCR) and then I would be able to tag the contents, annotate them and share them to other people.

It would be a kind of knowledge base where I would be able to find everything I could have read in the past and reuse later when comes the good moment.

Do you know some kind of good Open Source Bookmark manager as alternative to del.icio.us/ and diigo.com/ ?

I'm searching since months, but no one seems to fit me.
I know of Shaarli, but the interface is not very user-friendly. I know of Buku which is good, but has no GUI at all. There is Wallabag that I use, but I'm stuck at v2.1.6 and it seems there is still a lack of features for collaboration and annotation.

Vous la connaissez l'histoire de celui qui décide de mettre à jour son Wallabag en 2.2.2 puis se rend compte que ce n'est pas possible à cause de la version du kernel de son VPS donc décide de réinstaller proprement (en ayant backup avant bien sûr) et se voit maintenant bloqué par un MariaDB qui refuse la connexion ?

Même en supprimant les volumes Docker associés et en relançant un Docker Compose tout propre, on dirait que ça ne veut pas remarcher comme avant :/

Ian is a CLI to let you setup your development environment, save it and even make it portable between your devices.

I feel great. I was able to fork a project, do a little commit in the browser, open a PR on the upstream project to see my PR merged 3 minutes later and all that without leaving Github.

I really think that lowering barriers to contribute actually helps Open Source projects to get contributions. Thanks Github.

Oh, maybe System76 will use other cases than the one from Clevo for their computers.

I never bought a System76, but knowing they used Clevo didn't appeal to me.

So, according to what System76 will do, maybe my next computer will be from them. Or Purism.

For those who like decentralization, there is another thing built on top of Ethereum: status.im/

I don't know how it works, it doesn't seem available yet, but it is still interesting to see how it will go on.

I think this article may have a good echo here. Even though it is from January, when wasn't very known yet. So it mentions micro.blog instead

A P2P social network based on a mesh network for people who like to be off-grid. I find the project really interesting.

J'ai écrit un article sur l'auto-hébergement il y a quelques semaines qui pourrait intéresser les utilisateurs de Mastodon qui souhaitent se lancer dans l'aventure : killiankemps.fr/fr/blog/auto-h
