  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale

  • AmIUnique

    Learn how identifiable you are on the Internet

  • At the same time, brave is the only iOS browser I know of that blocks all trackers and device identifiers. I’ve tested every browser with https://amiunique.org/ and brave was the only one that effectively hid my online signature.

  • FreshRSS

    A free, self-hostable news aggregator…

  • I use https://freshrss.org/ which is a web-based system you host yourself. The Readrops Android app is good too, and it can connect to FreshRSS so all state (subscribed feeds, read status, etc) is synced to the web version.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • old-reddit-redirect

    Ensure Reddit always loads the old design

  • On my phone I mostly use rif, because it is actually a better experience (contrary to the headline here). But I also have an extension in Firefox that automatically redirects all reddit links to the old design. That way it doesn't matter if I'm logged in or not, or whether I have "desktop view" on.

  • uYouPlus

    uYou+ is a modified version of uYou (made by @MiRO92) with additional features and mainly made for non jailbroken users!

  • Except it is possible with uYouPlus
