How about a utility for generating and/or handling QR codes?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Pebble app. There's Rockwork, but outside of Ubuntu Touch it will only produce empty notifications. There's Rockpool, that's only for SailfishOS. There's Amazfish, but so far it can only pair and then... nothing.
A part of the desktop GUI that opens git forge stuff for installed apps. Like I want to just right click "submit code issue" for an app and have it open a proper templates issue for that given project. Right click and select "see source code" and it pops open my ide of choice. Add some integrations for building and installing forks and branches so I can test my changes in real time.
There is not much choice for drawing diagrams, dia is old school and draw.io is big.
Streamlined VM deployment inside a headless server. Been scratching my head for 2 days now on getting a Debian VM to work as advertised. Every step of the way I keep thinking "surely it doesn't have to be this difficult, right?" And for some reason, a basic netplan edit to make a bridge broke all my NFS binds. Took all day to sort a brand new permissions issue that shouldn't be possible

I wish there was any alternative to after effects. It's what keeps me in the adobe system. It's so good and there's actually nothing comparable out there.

I would love a good WYIWYG desktop screenwriting software.
Writing fountain markup just doesn't work for me. it's hard to explain, and sounds precious, but if my brain is in markup mode it's not in creative mode and vice versa.
Some of the ok ones from the past have been abandoned.
I bought a pro license of fade in which is supposed to be available for Linux but it won't install and support didn't solve it. So I have to work exclusively from my Windows machine... Which I don't love doing.
