• notepadqq

  21 2,072 2.3 JavaScript

• tachiyomi

  583 27,315 0.0 Kotlin

  Discontinued Free and open source manga reader for Android.

  

Tachiyomi/TachiJ2K and Komikku are what actually got me back to reading manga again. They're just nice really nice apps for reading manga. Kinda a shame that the anime/movie/tv/videos counterpart isn't open-source.

• fsearch

  52 3,102 6.5 C

  A fast file search utility for Unix-like systems based on GTK3

FSearch is the Voidtools Everything search counterpart for Linux that I need for my work (and even besides that, it's just a really nice search experience compared to Gnoem or KDE built-in ones). I like it so much, even though I don't have much leeway in money, I chose to support it. As a KDE user who uses Global Menu and prefers SSD over CSD, I think it's awesome that it could support both CSD and SSD w/ Global Menu.

• tachiyomiJ2K

  38 4,101 9.0 Kotlin

  Free and open source manga reader for Android

Tachiyomi/TachiJ2K and Komikku are what actually got me back to reading manga again. They're just nice really nice apps for reading manga. Kinda a shame that the anime/movie/tv/videos counterpart isn't open-source.

• syncthing-android

  1,233 3,008 9.2 Java

  Wrapper of syncthing for Android.

  

SyncThing's lack of selective sync is disappointing and what prompt me to use the proprietary version, but for what it's worth, it's a great piece of software that everyone should use. A lot of people bitch about the cloud, but here's the alternative to cloud that works well enough in most cases, at least for simple backup.

• HeroicGamesLauncher

  755 7,199 9.6 TypeScript

  A games launcher for GOG, Amazon and Epic Games for Linux, Windows and macOS.

  

Heroic I've come to use even on my Windows work laptop. It's just really convenient and looks good for so little effort on me. As someone whose many of his games are from outside of Steam (as a VN reader and old games lover) it's near-essential for me as it gives me a nice interface, can add to Steam automatically, and can track my play time for HowLongToBeat / VNDB reports. Also, add steamgriddb and sgdboop on that, because that's what they use for covers, and sgdboop makes non-Steam games looks real nice on Steam.

• Ferdium

  216 2,502 9.1 TypeScript

  Ferdium is a desktop app that helps you organize how you use your favourite apps by combining them into one application.

  

On the same note, Ferdium. Ferdium is really nice isolated way of accessing my chat/email/feed/social media. It was annoying when I needed to keep my browser open at all times, and it's more convenient to centralize it in one place that's automatically saved for when I distro-hop. Its dark mode works well enough, and userscript support... isn't mature, but works well enough to block some ads.

• ArchInstall

  2 69 0.8 Shell

Here the complete list of the software I'm using: https://github.com/Phantas0s/ArchInstall/blob/master/apps.csv

• wttr.in

  149 23,598 6.7 Python

  :partly_sunny: The right way to check the weather

I've got one that monitors a bunch of specific websites/redditors for updates, one that checks a site for the weather (http://wttr.in - it's awesome), and then a RSS monitor that monitors a handful of local news stations for breaking news (to supplement my tweetdeck feeds). I use multiple "Panes" to display various outputs from them.
