  • flame

    Flame is self-hosted startpage for your server. Easily manage your apps and bookmarks with built-in editors. (by pawelmalak)

  • - flame - a simple dashboard. Hell, I wish I found it before - it would save me a lot of time setting up my family's bookmarks. Being able to see different set of bookmarks depending on whether you're "signed-in" or not was the game changer for me.

    Self-hosted YouTube downloader (web UI for youtube-dl / yt-dlp)

  • - metube - best tool to fetch YouTube music to feed your AzuraCast home radio

  • Miniflux

    Minimalist and opinionated feed reader

  • - miniflux - the best self-hosted rss ever. fast (due to spartan UI), yet extensible via customized CSS and tons of extensions. Integrates nicely with Mac's Reeder and Reeder app on iOS (which is an essence of brilliant UX/UI for me).

  • Kanboard

    Kanban project management software

  • rtl_433

    Program to decode radio transmissions from devices on the ISM bands (and other frequencies)

  • dns-blocklists

    DNS-Blocklists: For a better internet - keep the internet clean!

  • Just use different lists? Hagezi blocklists are very high quality, and they purposefully allow things the user intentionally clicks on. It blocks all the usual trackers, ads etc but whitelists affiliate links and shopping/search ad results, which don’t tend to track you directly anyway.
