Proposal: cross-link as complementary projects (OpenHearing — hearing test + assist for any earbuds) #660

Description

@HMAKT99

Hi! First — LibrePods is fantastic work, congrats on v1.0.

I maintain OpenHearing (GPLv3), which I think sits exactly next to LibrePods without overlapping:

  • LibrePods: drives AirPods' own hearing-aid mode and features on Android (root, AirPods hardware).
  • OpenHearing: does its own on-device pure-tone hearing test → per-ear amplification profile → real-time DSP assist. No root, works with any earbuds — but it can't talk to AirPods' native mode.

Your README explicitly (and reasonably) declines to build a hearing test; OpenHearing has one, and conversely we point people who own AirPods and want the native mode to LibrePods — our README already links to you, and your protocol docs are credited as the reference for our (not yet started) AirPods phase.

Would you be open to a short mutual mention — e.g. a line in your README's related-projects/FAQ area for people who arrive without AirPods or without root? Happy to send the PR so it's zero effort on your side, worded however you prefer. And if you'd rather not, totally fine — closing this is no offense taken.

Thanks for everything the project has documented — it's been genuinely useful.
— Arun (OpenHearing)
