Burner Todo now "officially" available for Linux, as a Flatpak or AppImage:

(In case you're wondering, no I'm not gonna comply with the California bill or any other moronic age verification bill and start requesting age bracket from the OS. Not sure if it legally applies to me, I only distribute the app on Codeberg, plus the Flatpak via Disroot's file sender because it exceeds Codeberg's file limit, but I just put it out there, in case this would apply to FOSS projects distributed solely on code collaboration platforms. What can they do with me? I'm anonym, they don't know my real-world identity, and even if they hire hackers, and de-anonymize me, what do they do with me? Fine me? Not gonna pay. Arrest me then? I'm in Europe. But I guess they don't even know about the existence of the app, so why should I even bother?)

Is the classic image meme dead, or buried under an avalanche of AI slop? Memerist, a new(ish) native meme generator for Linux, emerged on Flathub recently
Joey Sneddon (OMG! Ubuntu)
I just developed a todo app in Qt, called Burner Todo, which lets you create temporary todos, which can be wiped out with a press of a button (Kaboom!), and also when you close the program (default setting, which can be changed). It's like a burner phone, but in a todo app form (hence the name) lolOther features include editing and deleting a todo, which you would probably expect from a todo app. There are also some settings to toggle delete, kaboom and quit confirmation, and whether to wipe out todos on quit or not (todos are saved to a local database regardless, and aren't wiped out if the program isn't closed properly, e.g. if the system crashes, so the todos aren't lost).
The program is available for Linux as a raw binary, AppImage and Flatpak, and all of these can also be built manually, using the instructions in the repo's README.
The code is written in Python, but compiled into C, to have a better performance, smaller size.

If you're curious about some behind the scenes stuff (why I developed this app, my tech stack choice), check out the Odysee post (unfortunately it's too long to post it here): odysee.com/@fossery-tech:4/bur…

A simple todo app for Linux, where you can make temporary todos which are wiped out when the program is closed (default setting), or when you Kaboom!
