Back In Time [1] is a round about 15 years old backup software using rsync in the back. I'm part of the 3rd generation maintenance team there. A lot of work in investigating and fixing issues, understanding, documenting and refactoring old code. Have a look at Good First Issues [2] or Help Wanted Issues [3].

Hyperorg [1] does convert org(roam) files into HTML files preserving there links to each other. It's primary use case is to have an HTML representation of your Zettelkasten (aka "second brain") that is usable on your local machine in a browser without running a fancy web server, JavaScript or anything else. Pure HTML5 and CSS.
