WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
And thus, with thoughts along the lines of "eh, there are good libraries for it, how hard can it be?", exactly 9 years ago today, I started qutebrowser.
It initially was focused on dwb "refugees", and much of that is still visible today: The look of the UI, almost all keybindings, the split between book- and quickmarks (probably a bad idea), the idea of having external userscripts (probably a bad name), etc. etc. In other areas, qutebrowser most likely had a pioneering role: As far as I know, it was the first vim-like browser to introduce a more shell-like command interface, with things like :open -t or :open -w rather than separate :open, :winopen and :tabopen commands. Others like Tridactyl later followed suit.
