Gotify
A simple server for sending and receiving messages in real-time per WebSocket. (Includes a sleek web-ui) (by gotify)
Project mention: Ntfy.sh – Send push notifications to your phone via PUT/POST | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-06-08I do use gotify [1] which seems to be pretty much the same, and does the job quite well. Not sure how they compare, does ntfy goes through Google / Apple network or it's directly connected to your server instance?

Fathom Analytics
Fathom Lite. Simple, privacy-focused website analytics. Built with Golang & Preact.
So this post is about something I've been chewing on for months but finally moved on: ripping Google Analytics out of three side projects and picking a privacy-focused alternative. Specifically, I'll compare Umami, Plausible, and Fathom — the three I actually evaluated — and walk through the migration steps that worked for me.

Project mention: Disqus Turned My Blog into an Ad Farm – So I Killed It | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-09-30
I've found [Remark42](https://remark42.com/) works well with static sites, and has plenty of user login options.
But, the solution I've been looking for/prototyping is one that lets people comment from the Fadiverse, so it will also double as a feed. Nothing to show yet, but one-day maybe.

Project mention: GitHub action to make your website analytics fail-proof and free from vendor lock-in | dev.to | 2026-03-24
Step 1: Create your dashboard to control your data sources/destinations settings. This dashboard controls only these settings. The actual customer event data will not flow through this service. You will either self-host the event streaming server to process customer event data i.e. the data plane or use a cloud-hosted data plane to quickly get started.

I'm working on a system-wide desktop ad-blocker and privacy guard called Zen (for almost 2.5 years now): https://github.com/irbis-sh/zen-desktop
Working on it has been a joy as ad-blocking tech touches so many aspects of software engineering - from systems and security to the intricacies of JS environments in browsers.
Benefits-wise, system-wide filtering disables ads and tracking not just in browsers, but desktop apps as well (which you'll be amazed how much they do). It's especially relevant now as Google is re-activating their efforts to hinder ad-blockers by killing Manifest V2 in Chrome. So much of tech is actively bleeding cash on AI right now, which means the efforts to screw over users will only accelerate. This makes something that sits at the network level indispensable imo.
