  • I think that's true for most the popular FOSS projects as great documentation is an essential ingredient for getting more users.

    That said, if I have to name one, I love the docs of Plex Meta Manager (now called Kometa). It has step-by-step guides, reference pages, and even example code to help the users.

  • I graduated as a mechanical engineer in 2020, but with corona and other economic factors, the job market wasn't great.

    That said, I was already working as a freelance writer for different brands via Upwork by then — since I had seen the writing on the wall after watching previous year's graduates.

    Fast forward to now, I've worked for different SaaS brands, web hosting companies, and manufacturing businesses.

    I've written knowledge base articles, user guides, technical white papers, and faq articles.

    However, I'm still not an expert as my experience with user manuals, software documentation, and so on is bit lacking.

    Hi,

    I'm a technical writer looking to build my portfolio in technical documentation. I've written technical blogs, how-to guides, and white papers for SaaS brands, but I want to gain experience working on back-end documentation.

    I'm familiar with Python, HTML, CSS, C/C++ (to some extent), and SQL. Additionally, I've done considerable writing for cloud computing clients, so I have a solid understanding of cloud concepts.

    I can work with Markdown, Git, or even Google Docs.

    Please let me know if you're working on an open-source project that could use some documentation. Alternatively, if you know of an existing open-source tool that could benefit from documentation, I'd be happy to contact the developer.

    More than 550 hajj pilgrims die in Mecca as temperatures exceed 50C
  • Kind of yes. Since Hajj brings 2-3 million people together, it was a minor crowd crush.

    The major crowd crushes have resulted in deaths in double or even triple digits (in 2015).

    Saudi Government has largely streamlined the movement of pilgrims, so I don't know where this crowd crush happened.

    That said, I totally blame the government for inadequate response to the heat wave. While the article shares that the authorities distributed water and ice cream, it didn't help much in peak times. When I (a pilgrim) was returning on Jun 17, the crowd was barely moving and I could not reach the water at all since it was on the right end of the road, and I was on left, from where it's borderline impossible to move to the right without putting your life at risk.

    Plus, I don't know who got the ice creams as I didn't see any.

  • Awesome Android Apps - my curated list of ~250 apps
  • Awesome list. Have you found any app for recording calls? (I live in Hungary and receive calls in Hungarian sometimes and would like to record them to translate and understand what the call was about.)

    Also, I don't see anything for audiobooks. I use Smart Audiobooks, but was wondering if there are more open source options.
