Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • kopia

    Cross-platform backup tool for Windows, macOS & Linux with fast, incremental backups, client-side end-to-end encryption, compression and data deduplication. CLI and GUI included.

  • I'm using kopia because it works well on windows and has a GUI to make configuring it easier, and I'm backing up to B2 because it's cheap and reliable. Manually setting up the ignore lists is annoying and can take some time, as is choosing what you want/need backed up (and you need to check your backups occasionally to make sure that they're actually working and not corrupted), but it's saved me a couple times.

  • gitignore

    A collection of useful .gitignore templates

  • Make sure your .gitignore file is properly set up (and .gitattributes): https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/main/Unity.gitignore

  • 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.
