Omi Discussions (Bounties, PRs, Roadmap & Questions)

This is the place to ask questions, propose features, claim bounties, and show what you’ve built.
We’re a ship-first team—if you see something to improve, jump in and open a PR.

---

Quick Start

1. Browse issues & bounties on GitHub.
2. Pick something and start building—no permission needed.
3. Open a PR with a clear description (what/why/how) and link related issues.
4. Discuss here if you’re blocked, proposing scope, or want feedback.

Bounties (tl;dr)

• We do not lock bounties to people with 0 approved PRs. New folks: pick a bounty and submit. If you ship quality work, we’ll lock the next bounty on you.
• Merge target: everything merges to main.
• Payout flow: after your PR(s) are approved & merged, email [team@basedhardware.com](mailto:team@basedhardware.com) with:
  • Links to merged PRs + short impact summary
  • Full name, shipping address, email, PayPal, and phone number

No paid bounties available?
Comment @addbounty $<amount> (e.g., @addbounty $20), wait a few minutes, refresh, and propose your own bounty.

---

Rewards (per approved, significant PR)

• 1 PR: Free DEV KIT device (necklace or glasses, based on where you contribute)
• 2 PRs: 1 month of Omi subscription
• 5 PRs: 3 months of Omi subscription + special Contributor role on Discord
• 10 PRs: We’ll fly you to San Francisco to hang out with the Based Hardware team

Rewards stack as you hit each tier.

What counts as “significant”?

• ~2+ hours of focused work (or several smaller contributions that add up)
• A new feature or major bug fix
• Quality code with explanation, tests when relevant, and helpful docs/notes

---

Discussion Categories

• Announcements – Pinned updates from the team
• Help & How-To – Setup, environment, debugging
• Ideas / RFCs – Pitch features, get feedback, discuss APIs
• Bounties – Claim, coordinate, or propose new bounties (@addbounty $<amount>)
• Show & Tell – Demos, PRs, apps, community wins
• Q&A / Support – Short questions that don’t need a full issue

Tip: Prefix titles with [RFC], [Bounty], [Idea], [Help], or [Show] for faster triage.

Hi all,

I am using DevKit2 (Seeed Studio XIOA nrf Sens module - nRF52840) with an external SD card for storing and playing back audio prompts. The board receives audio files from the companion mobile app over BLE (e.g., “Try Again”) and writes them to the SD card (FATFS).

After updating the mobile app from the Google Play Store (latest version), I am no longer able to sync audio files from the phone to the SD card. Before the update, the transfer and playback worked fine.

Hey I've put together the hardware and have been testing the day to day use. Primarily as a Realtor the functionality of auto capture and auto summary is pretty awesome. I am involved in many different groups, so this is a useful tool.

I am focusing on the physical appearance at the moment.

3d print designs are a favorite interest I've been developing for several years. Mostly in SketchUp for architecture stuff but recently getting comfortable with fusion.

I haven't finished yet, but I'm on version two of a 'tray' housing that leaves the interesting details of the pcb visible.
I'm thinking of epoxy to finalize it.

This project has stretched my soldering skills.

My hope is to get to a place where I can wear this everyday all day and not kill my phone, while still having access to the details of my conversations.

I might expand this idea in a full feature request post:
I would love to be able to cross reference my calendar and location to aquire more context to the saved conversations.

"What was the third repair item that was needed at the house I showed on main Street yesterday?" That prompt won't result in anything useful at the moment.

Or, "how long do I typically spend at each showing appointment?"

"What time did I leave the office"

Hi @josancamon19, following the contribution guide and this thread, I'm looking for one unclaimed, software-only Python CLI/SDK fix with a cash bounty of US$10 or more.

The proposed delivery is a focused fix plus regression tests, verified locally without device hardware, paid APIs, or production access. It would be prepared with OpenAI Codex assistance for @HTExplicit, following the contribution guide and applicable checks.

Could you identify a suitable issue and confirm its scope, acceptance criteria, bounty amount, and payout eligibility? PayPal is not currently available to this account; is there a supported non-PayPal payout option? I need to confirm that before starting, and don't want to duplicate work already in progress.

This is an availability inquiry, not a bounty claim or a delivery-time commitment. No payment account details are being shared publicly. Thanks.

Hi @josancamon19 @kodjima33 — I'm looking to take one currently available paid software task, around US$150. I investigated #20469, but #20471 already covers that fix.

Is there an unclaimed Python backend/CLI or JavaScript/TypeScript issue you would fund? Proposed delivery: a focused PR, a regression test reproducing the defect, and reproducible verification with any limitations disclosed. The work would be AI-assisted with Codex and follow the repository contribution checks. I do not have Omi hardware.

Please confirm the scope, acceptance criteria, cash bounty amount and new-contributor payment eligibility before implementation. Thank you.

A concrete follow-up: I found a separate Flutter task-pagination defect and prepared draft PR #20558: #20558

With 151 server tasks and 50 optimistic deletions pending, the visible-list offset can repeatedly fetch the same page. This is still reproducible after #20458. The PR tracks consumed server rows and fences stale requests; 32 focused tests and 138 opt-in spine tests pass. The broader Windows-suite failures and full-checkout CI limitations are documented in the PR.

@josancamon19 @kodjima33 would you consider a US$150 cash bounty for this fix, and confirm new-contributor eligibility and acceptance criteria? If funded, is USDT on TRON a supported payout option? No bounty or payment has been agreed. Thank you.

Hi @josancamon19 @kodjima33, are there any currently unclaimed, small non-security Python CLI/SDK or documentation tasks with an approved cash bounty?

I’m considering an AI-assisted contribution with reproducible tests, ideally a software-only task that can be completed in 1–3 days. Could you share the issue, acceptance criteria, exact cash amount, and expected payment timing? Can an individual based in mainland China receive that payment through your PayPal process? I’m asking about cash payment rather than transcription credits or hardware rewards.

This inquiry is AI-assisted; no task is being claimed or delivery date committed yet. Thank you.
