Free and open source ideas (#FOSI)

It happens to us all to have good ideas but unfortunately we don't always have the time or the ability to realize them...

Instead of these ideas getting lost or dying we can share them and maybe they will be heard by someone in the free software community who is in need of inspiration but has the time and ability to realize them. 🤞

You can also share your idea and ask if people in the community are interested in helping you make it happen.

An open source, smash style fighting game, it could use mascots from foss projects (just like SuperTuxKart do).

Since there are some SSB knockoffs being released (All-Star, MultiVersus), why not make one that is actually good? I think it would be pretty cool :)

It could be interesting to have an application that once launched would analyze the live video or audio of the smartphone and if it detects rhythms or variations (for example a flash that pulses • • • — — — • • • ), the application would translate it into text "SOS".

The application would also have a writing mode where you could write and it would translate the text into flash pulses or audio sounds.

We could communicate in the night without wifi, without bluetooth and without network ^^

A Sponsor Block service for Podcasts (lemmy.ml)

I don't know if you already know the Sponsor Block add-on ( https://sponsor.ajay.app/ ) that allows users to tag the parts of a youtube video that contain sponsored content but also the self-promotional parts, the long useless introductions or the beginning and end credits. Then other users who watch these videos and who also have Sponsor Block will see their video player automatically skip the tagged parts of the video and this is sometimes a huge time saver ^^

Before I knew about this add-on, I had thought about something similar for podcasts, but it doesn't exist as far as I know. I had proposed a way out on AntennaPod's Github ( https://github.com/AntennaPod/AntennaPod/issues/3382 ) at the time but the developers told me that it was difficult and that they did not plan to create their own web service.

Being a big consumer of podcasts for years and seeing the progressive arrival of ads I thought it might be a good idea to build a similar service.
