This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/ExperiencedDevs

Our great sponsors
  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • Joplin

    Joplin - the secure note taking and to-do app with synchronisation capabilities for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.

  • For notes, there is a physical notebook and Joplin is unbeatable because it's FOSS and Markdown. :)

  • logseq

    A local-first, non-linear, outliner notebook for organizing and sharing your personal knowledge base. Use it to organize your todo list, to write your journals, or to record your unique life.

  • I've been using Logseq lately, it's the closest to the analog Bullet Journals I had kept before, but with the searching, tagging, linking and even elementary task time tracking. I found its outliner characteristics help me "log" more, versus the unlimited possibilities for structuring documents in Obsidian/Notion.

  • 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.
