1 week - 5 cities

Hi. I shared the Triposphere app/project last week and said how I started the app as something I can use on my trips. Specially to manage PDFs and other proofs of tickets etc while I may not have internet. That’s what I did this week.

It was a week full of travel for me and there was so much to see and so many places we visited that last Sunday, which was the second day of my trip feels like a distant memory. All throughout, though not very frequent I got to alpha test and dogfood this app and make small adjustments as I felt the need for something or felt an area where the UX could be better. I still have a few fixes/improvements planned before I make a proper website for it and share it wider, including making the sharing work with AT-proto spaces though.

It was a packed week covering 3 countries and 5 different cities and a lot of walking and sightseeing. I will probably share a grain.social post later in this newsletter with a better sampling of pictures I took, but until then, the one below will have to do.

A project I discovered

LaSuite is the open and sovereign workspace for government agents. Through a cohesive suite of open-source, secure, and easy-to-use tools, LaSuite enables every public servant to create, organize, decide, and collaborate with confidence.

La Suite numérique · GitHub

La Suite numérique is a set of open-source applications for digital collaboration and teamwork. It offers modern solutions for the digital workplace. - La Suite numérique

I discovered the project a couple of days ago, and the fact that all this is open source and backed by licences from AGPL-3 to MIT mean that one could (and some are already) fork and use these for personal and other uses.
