What are some libraries, software, etc... that you'd like to see be built in open-source? (self.chat)

I’m trying to get accustomed to writing asynchronous/concurrent Rust or any language!

I just want to build software that helps people, and hopefully makes friends along the way.

I'd like a FOSS equivalent to Google Pay, but I understand it's more complicated than just writing an app.

Why not use F-Droid?

Not Google Play, Google Pay. The NFC payments app.

Oh sorry I’m dumb. You could copy the NFC chip of your bank card on an open-source app on your phone. Maybe it would do the job?

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I have no idea how to do that. Is it something you've done before?

[–] noctisatrae 2 points 10 months ago

I looked at how to do that it is not that easy… the banking system is so closed :(
