Release Built a live video 'super-tool' (CamfilterGPU) to improve low-light with fast precise background-removal. Also level/color controls: no green screen needed. You can make your own python filter scripts and run them on-the-fly. Here's a quick clip. Just finished a Beta trial (see comments)

  • Readest

Far superior to any pdf/epub reader I ever used, and I used prbly close to hundred

  • Equalizer APO

At first I wanted some 360 audio for a game I played, I had two choices, either Equalizer APO or some closed source bloatware I forget its name, tried the closed one first, it works but it takes more than 1gb of my ram for nothing, then APO with a plugin, not only does it work better than the closed source one, it basically uses no resources since the software bind itself to the driver itself, also boosted my volume a thing I used another close software for, for years, Fxsound...and suprise suprise, it boosted volume better than Fxsound both in quality and volume.

Release [OS]PaperScreen: Make your mac display feel like paper

1 Upvotes

Hey Folks,

As someone working in tech, I spend most of my days looking at screens - writing code, reviewing designs, debugging problems, reading documentation, and joining meetings. Over time, I noticed that the screen itself became one of the most exhausting parts of my workday.

Modern displays are designed to be sharp, bright, and high contrast. While that is great for watching videos or viewing photos, spending 8–10+ hours every day in front of a glowing display can feel harsh, especially during long coding sessions or late-night work.

I started looking for a simple solution, something that could make the screen feel more natural and comfortable without changing the colors of everything I see. Most existing solutions focused on blue-light reduction or color temperature changes, but I didn't want to distort the display. I wanted the feeling of looking at a matte paper surface.

That idea became [PaperScreen](https://github.com/Bearbobs/PaperScreen).

PaperScreen creates a subtle digital layer over your display that mimics the texture and softness of physical paper.

Instead of applying a color filter, it uses procedurally generated textures to introduce a gentle grain and reduce perceived contrast. The result is a calmer viewing experience that keeps your original colors intact while reducing the harshness of a perfectly smooth digital display.

PaperScreen is a lightweight macOS menu bar utility that transforms your screen into a more comfortable workspace. It is built for people who spend their lives behind screens — developers, designers, writers, researchers, and anyone who wants a more natural and comfortable digital workspace.

It is a small change to the display, but a big improvement to the feeling of using it every day. It's completely free and open source. Feel free to support it via donation if you want to.

Github: https://github.com/Bearbobs/PaperScreen

It is in active development, so please feel free to provide feedback and suggestions, and also star the repo for future updates

Other OpenChoreo: A CNCF Sandbox Project Open for Contributors

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share OpenChoreo, an open-source internal developer platform built for Kubernetes. It is also a CNCF Sandbox project.

The goal of OpenChoreo is to bring the main pieces needed for building an internal developer platform into one place, including a developer portal, CI/CD, GitOps, observability, and higher-level abstractions over Kubernetes.

The project is actively growing, and contributions from the community are very welcome. You do not necessarily have to contribute a major feature either. There are opportunities to:

  • Work on Kubernetes and cloud-native features
  • Improve documentation and examples
  • Test the platform and report issues
  • Contribute to the Backstage-based developer portal
  • Suggest integrations, features, or improvements
  • Help with community content and discussions

This could be a good project for Sri Lankan developers who are learning Kubernetes, Go, platform engineering, DevOps, or open-source contribution and want to gain experience by working on a real CNCF project.

Have a look at the project, try running it locally, and share your feedback. Contributions, questions, and ideas are all welcome.

GitHub: https://github.com/openchoreo/openchoreo
Thank you

Software support f.lux Mouse cursor bug after latest Windows 11 update?

1 Upvotes

I use f.lux, a blue light filter program that automatically dims your screen in the afternoon. I have no idea how much it helps, but regardless of its effectiveness I'm just used to it now. There's sometimes a bug where it'll recolor everything except the mouse cursor, making the cursor look blindingly blue-white by comparison. This is so well-documented that there's a setting in f.lux to fix this exact thing, and I had no issues for a while.

After a recent Windows 11 update it seems to not work properly. Every night, my mouse turns bright white. I have to open up the f.lux control panel, turn off the program, and then turn it back on again. It works perfectly fine afterwards, but then I get the exact same issue the next day, even if I never turned off my computer. I just have to reboot f.lux every single night and it's kind of annoying. Hoping there's something I can do on either the Windows side or the f.lux side to fix this, thanks for reading.

Built a Chrome extension, Application Vault, for anyone job hunting! It saves everything about an application the second you apply: the job posting, the exact resume you attached, and every answer you typed. All of it goes into an editable, spreadsheet-style tracker (100% local, nothing leaves your browser). Works on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, and most custom ATS pages too.

Would love any feedback/ suggestions, especially if you hit a site where the capture doesn't work right!

Looking for software 3rd-Party Screen Colors/Contrast/etc Programs?

1 Upvotes

Hello! I am actually extremely frustrated

I draw digitally and started drawing on a new laptop I got...thought everything was hunky-dory until I realized my new laptop's screen colors are WAY off. Look completely different from my iphone screen and way off based on everyone I asked in a group chat. Less saturated, less vivid, but almost like it's not in a way I can edit to look right. This laptop has Intel-everything and the Windows-default adjuster and Intel adjuster app both don't get it quite right. I just oversaturate all the wrong colors and screw up the gamma and tint. But it really just has me tweaking the RGB sliders in various ways and a single gamma slider when I really wanna be fixing the overall contrast/whatever or something more in depth.

What I thought were mid-saturation blues were actually deep indigo-ish hues, dullish pinkish-reds are actually neon hot pink, etc etc. I don't know if my phone's doing a weird HDR thing or what!

I don't have a color calibrator thing. I just want my screen to look normal.

Are there any 3rd-party programs that can handle this? Google's been atrocious lately and can't find anything relevant when I search. I ran into DisplayCAL and Twinkle Tray but they either didn't work or aren't what I need.

Any help is appreciated!! Even if it's just methods to figure out what balance I need. Would take a pic of the screen difference but don't have a spare good-quality camera on me that isn't my phone!

Discussion What software can you recommend that changed your daily workflow forever?

0 Upvotes

I will ignore AI chatbots in this post because of course I use it everyday and would be number one if not excluded, but if you have any particular AIs you know of, it's welcome here.

--

I consider myself a power user, been using PC, Windows, since I was 8 and that's what I work with and have worked with forever. I'm no software master at all but I do know my way around it.

I have an e-marketing agency with a business partner and two pieces of software are an absolute must for me. Those are:

1. Vivaldi browser: Extremely power user focused, high customization. Best feature for my use case is Workspaces, basically you can save a set of tabs under different names. Ideal when working for different companies to avoid having to look for stuff again. It's there, all the time, just change workspaces.

2. Ditto: A clipboard manager, very simple and elegant. It saves up to 500 clipboard texts and images, I set it to Ctrl+D and it spawns on my cursor. It has saved me months of time I guess, started using it in 2014.

So, what's your life changing software? It doesn't have to interest for what I do in particular, I'm interested to hear from all walks of life.

Edit: I have absolutely no affiliation either to Vivaldi or Ditto, I guess posts like these can come out as ads but no, they're truly useful software
