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

    A modern, maintained replacement for ls

  • I love exa but that grid bug was bugging me - its fixed in the fork! See here:

    https://github.com/eza-community/eza

  • lc

    A post-modern, "multi-dimensional", configurable, abbreviating, extensible ls/file lister in Nim

  • This kind of thing should probably be generalized so that any new parameter can be seamlessly woven into your `ls-like` reports.

    https://github.com/c-blake/lc/blob/master/extensions/fe1 does `du`, but you could use `ffprobe` to do the run-time in hours:minutes:seconds for media files (or maybe 0sec for non-media) or numerous other things.

  • 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.

  • exa

    A modern replacement for ‘ls’.

  • vivid

    A themeable LS_COLORS generator with a rich filetype datebase

  • I just use good old `ls` with colors set by vivid [1]

  • lsd

    The next gen ls command

  • Overte

    Overte is an open-source 3D client and server solution that allows for vast social & educational environments to be created and lived in while also being shared in real-time with others.

  • Oh, I mean we started a non-profit to support our particular project (https://overte.org/), not that we've got a general purpose organization providing service to whoever needs it.

    So I'm not sure we're we're a good fit, in that we're neither something comparable to Code Shelter, nor unmaintained.

  • coreutils

    upstream mirror (by coreutils)

  • > Yes, ls is maintained. Although, maintained is a very strong word. It exists.

    Why would it be a strong word? Here it is, in src/ls.c: https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils

    It is then packaged by tens of operating system distributions, who themselves maintain extra patchsets, some of which are then upstreamed.

    It is installed and used on millions (billions?) of devices, for 3 decades.

    It's a very reliable and trusty "sharp stick of metal" :)

  • 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.
