[-] zloboslav@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Hear me out about GIMP - there's this patch that re-arranges it to be as close to Photoshop as possible: https://github.com/Diolinux/PhotoGIMP Of course it's not 100% the same, but I think you should give it a try.

A Windows Explorer replacement that is,

Very simple in its base install (almost no features beyond what the Windows XP file Explorer would contain),
With an plug-uns system to enable/disable/add features for those who would want to customize the functionality, and
implements Miller Columns, just like Mac OS, as one of its built-in functions.

I know it doesn't tick the boxes but there technicality is a Microsoft made, open source, alternative to Explorer. The original File Manager for Windows 3.1 and it is still seeing active development. Just thought to bring it to attention for a bit of nostalgic fun but I actually find myself using it a fair bit.

Open-source Sonolus engine

An extension to code that can take the compiler warnings and implement the corrections.

There aren't a lot of software I wish existed, but there is one I'm helping to work on. Having a similar concept to the Hypothesis toolbar, it's a fanmade combination of Pokémon Go and a toolbar. Imagine, instead of travelling the world and seeing Pokémon superimposed on the world, you're travelling the internet and see Pokémon superimposed on random webpages.

Something that would let me remotely blow up the computers of people running cheats.

A weather app that acts like an evil sentient robot.

Oh wait...
