  • I discovered Open Food Facts very recently. I was supersurprised because the mobile app is very neat, and I didn’t expect there would be so many products (edit: in Spain). I’ve sent two contributions so far.

    Also, you can download their database. If I had some time, I’d try to run some queries on it. (I’m on a low sodium diet and sometimes you find the most unexpected products with little salt, but it’s time consuming.)

    edit: also, I forgot, the app is on F-Droid, another nice touch.


  • My crazy idea is: write software so that Flatpaks can run on Windows and macOS. Plus, make high-quality Flatpak-building templates available for as many programming languages, UI toolkits, etc. as possible.

    Because everything that Flatpaks provide is OSS, making shims for Windows and macOS compatibility would be tedious, but doable.

    Same with crosscompiling Flatpaks, compared to the difficulties of crosscompiling for Windows or macOS from any other OS, multiplatform Flatpaks should be doable to crosscompile.

    So this would lead to a world where a very convenient way to package for Windows and macOS… is creating a Flatpak that works on Linux!
