  • otter

    Music player for Funkwhale (by apognu)

  • Meh. Just ditched Spotify a couple weeks ago. Replaced it with my own large music collection and Funkwhale, which is a really nice music server. I use Otter on Android to connect to it and Lollypop on GNOME to access the music files via NFS. Works great.

  • ncspot

    Cross-platform ncurses Spotify client written in Rust, inspired by ncmpc and the likes.

  • Official Spotify takes 1,5 Gb of RAM here. So I went to ncspot which I'm loving, just had to learn the shortcuts.

  • 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.

  • nheko

    Desktop client for Matrix using Qt and C++20.

  • I'm keeping an eye on Nheko in part because Electron is so bad.

  • org.signal.Signal

  • You can also read the JSON that defines a flatpak via this same method. For example the Signal flatpak is not "official" but if you read the JSON you can clearly see that all it does is download the .deb directly from updates.signal.org and unpack it.

  • nixpkgs

    Nix Packages collection & NixOS

  • I'm using NixOS and getting Funkwhale packaged seems a rather complex task, so this might help me getting started until someone finishes packaging Funkwhale or I find some time to do it…

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
