kde-migrant
KDE Migrant allows you to migrate your existing KDE/Plasma/apps configuration to a new computer. Good when changing computers or cloning one user configuration for other users.
Project mention: Ask HN: How do you sync or migrate KDE settings? | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-09-30Inspired by today's post on Ubuntu: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49908757
I use KDE at home, and installed (K)ubuntu on a separate laptop to use for work stuff (Yocto). It's a bit tedious to have to go into system settings and click through menus to configure e.g. middle-click settings, alt-tab settings, sleep/wake/lock behavior, Dolphin toolbar/views, etc, every time I set up a machine.
Some options I've seen: Konsave (https://github.com/Prayag2/konsave); KDE Migrant (https://github.com/nekromoff/kde-migrant); a guide to writing your own kwriteconfig scripts in Plasma 5 (https://tylerkontra.com/posts/programmatic-kde-customization/).
For NixOS users there's plasma-manager (https://github.com/nix-community/plasma-manager) but obviously can't use that on e.g. Kubuntu.
I haven't looked too much into dotfile management (e.g. GNU Stow or Chezmoi) but maybe they are options as well?
Just looking to get ideas and suggestions from the HN crowd.

afterfeed
A private, local-first home for browsing, searching, and rediscovering your personal social media archives - without depending on the platforms that created them.
For what I am using it for, I recently wrote a little web app called Afterfeed [0] that lets you view backups from social media websites as a single unified timeline.
To put this into perspective, I was a voracious social media user for decades. For me, this is 25 years of data, close to 100,000 posts, spanning everything from LiveJournal in 2001 to Mastodon in 2026. But when put together, it is a timeline of my life.
As kind of a last minute idea, I added an MCP server because why not? Once I wired an LLM up to it, I could ask introspective questions and find new ways of looking at myself and my own history. Simple things like "what was I doing 10 years ago around this time?" to more complex things like researching past thought patterns.
