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
  • Damselfly

    Damselfly is a server-based Photograph Management app. The goal of Damselfly is to index an extremely large collection of images, and allow easy search and retrieval of those images, using metadata such as the IPTC keyword tags, as well as the folder and file names. Damselfly includes support for object/face detection.

  • It's pretty easy to implement. I've done it in my app. You just wire up a hook to the OS "file/folder changed" event, and whenever that happens you trigger a rescan of the affected files. My app also uses last-mod date to check at startup in case any files changed while the app wasn't running.

  • flatnotes

    A self-hosted, database-less note taking web app that utilises a flat folder of markdown files for storage.

  • Try flatnotes for the markdown editor. Simple but functional design, and works smoothly for me

  • 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.

  • homebox

    Homebox is the inventory and organization system built for the Home User

  • No I haven’t … and after a wild goose chase of trying to find what I think you were referring to as a few things seem to share that name , I found it so adding a link for others to see.. https://github.com/hay-kot/homebox

  • archiveis

    A simple Python wrapper for the archive.is capturing service

  • I use Wallabag, but it only saves text through readabily so it doesn't get media and it doesn't work for most things that aren't an article. Most paid services like Pocket, Raindrop, save the page like archive.is.

  • sol-journal

    ✎ Simple, personal journaling progressive web app

  • My current solution is this: Sol Journal

  • Podgrab

    A self-hosted podcast manager/downloader/archiver tool to download podcast episodes as soon as they become live with an integrated player.

  • filemanager

    📂 Web File Browser

  • https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser should be a great alternative for this!

  • openbooks

    Discontinued We are on codeberg.org now! https://codeberg.org/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge - Gadgetbridge - A free and cloudless replacement for your gadget vendors' closed source Android applications. Supports Pebble, Mi Band, Liveview, HPlus and more.

  • Graphite

    2D raster & vector editor that melds traditional layers & tools with a modern node-based, non-destructive, procedural workflow.

  • Graphite https://graphite.rs

  • Outline

    The fastest knowledge base for growing teams. Beautiful, realtime collaborative, feature packed, and markdown compatible.

  • ERPNext

    Free and Open Source Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

  • I know ERPnext will do double entry, OFX import, and multi user. Im not sure if it can handle stocks since everything i look up brings me to physical stock like inventory instead of investments.

  • Odoo

    Odoo. Open Source Apps To Grow Your Business.

  • Odoo is another option that is a lot simpler to setup if you aren't into docker as it has a turnkey linux LXC that can also be downloaded directly through proxmox. The open source community version lacks some major features such as double entry which are locked behind a monthly paywall however you can install free third party apps/plugins to get around this.

  • what about shiori? I've been using it for a year now, works fine

  • sablier

  • grocy

    ERP beyond your fridge - Grocy is a web-based self-hosted groceries & household management solution for your home

  • I tried repurposing grocy for consumables in a chem lab, until management decided that was a waste and a dozen pieces of paper should work fine. Maybe something like that may work for you? Part numbers in the barcodes field, and if there are actual barcodes you can scan to populate so much the better, then 'recipes' that list what components a board needs?

  • officelife

    OfficeLife is the first EmpOps platform. It manages everything employees do in a company. From projects to holidays to 1:1s to teams.
