LRS: Projects Needed
See also [1]exercises.
{ If you want to maybe start some project here I'll be glad if you let me
know before you start, it can be good to talk about it first as I already
have some ideas about how to make some of these projects, I just don't
have time to work on them, I will just give you the ideas I have if you
want, we can discuss how to best write the code etc. Of course it's all up
to you, I'm just offering advice and discussion :) ~drummyfish }
Here is a list of some projects and project ideas which we, [2]LRS, need
to make in order to pursue our goals. The projects here are mostly basic
things and tools that already exist in some form, but that have to be made
from scratch according to [3]LRS philosophy, i.e. in a KISS/suckless way,
under public domain, in a good language (C, comun, ...) etc. This is kind
of a dirty list serving some rough organization. If you have the skills
and will (or know someone who does), you may take inspiration here, pick
one up and make it, or contribute to some of the projects listed here.
Also note that it's still possible to make multiple projects of the same
type, e.g. you may still create another chess engine even though we
already have one, just watch out that this is justified (it should offer
something worth the extra effort).
NOTE: We also desperately need [4]suckless rewrites of "FOSS" software,
i.e. of [5]shitware that perhaps has "open soars" written on it but is
generally unusable: this includes for example anything that uses
[6]Docker, [7]Rust, [8]CMake, encryption libraries, anything that needs
"up-to-date" packages, Internet connection and so on -- this software is
equivalent to [9]proprietary software in that it cannot be used. Rewrite
it in plain old C (or Forth or something sane).
NOTE 2: See [10]how to do projects well.

...)
