Simply put, I encountered a practical problem a several weeks back. From that experience an idea for an app came to mind so I went online looking for what I thought would have been offered by several organizations. Surprisingly, I only found one solution being offered but it didn't quite cover everything that I thought would be possible.

I'd rather not let the cat out of the bag yet. So, I'd prefer that we talk about it through private messages with the understanding that you won't shout it from the rooftops. If this is a good idea (which I believe that it is), then I'd like the app to be developed with the GNU-GPL3 license (open source).

It'd my understanding that C has stuck around in the UNIX world for so long, nearly half a century, mostly due to the inertia of legacy code.

If you could snap your fingers and magically port/fork the entire stack of open source codebases to the language of your choice, which would you pick and why?

I’ve been a software developer for about three years, and I’ve always been enticed by and passionate about the open source scene. I have an assortment of projects variously available on GitHub and GitLab, but this is the first time I’ve ever created an open source project intended to be used by others.

Pliant is a barebones starter kit for anyone wanting to self host their own blog. It came out of my own efforts to start a blog, and it’s what currently powers https://tfhe.shanemoore.me.

I’d love to hear you’re feedback, or just discuss open source, blogging, web technologies, or whatever else comes up.

Can be something current or ancient, and if you've really got an axe to grind feel free to drag in Windows or macOS or other proprietary operating systems.

Personally after using i3 for around half a decade now (though I switched to sway about a year ago) everything else I try just seems to add friction.
