I hope ideas for FOSS is okay to post here. Here are my ideas:

  1. reverse image search, upload an image, find a matching image online.
  2. a broken link checker/scanner with email notifications.
  3. a domain name helper that uses combines two words using synonyms.
  4. a link saver like pocket but simpler (mobile version)
  5. a pixabay alternative that doesn't allow AI or let it train AI
  6. A job listing website that is Anti-AI (No AI jobs)

What are some ideas you have?
I would prefer they were not vibe coded since I don't support AI.

I use Zettel Notes for this.

My holy grail of FOSS is a version of creation kit where modders could create their own Elder Scrolls like games.

there is worldforge which still seems active but given the amount of time with no real game being made from it I kinda doubt it will go anywhere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WorldForge

For this I use CircleToSearch app, which works great on android !

Readeck ? But you have to self-host it first.
