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

    Email tracker, read receipt and spy pixel blocker plugin for macOS Mail (10.11-13.x)

  • I already block images by default (which is also great for performance issues), and I'm testing MailTrackerBlocker (https://github.com/apparition47/MailTrackerBlocker). The thing is that the new fad of "journalism over newsletters" makes use of services like Substack, that don't allow the tracking to be turned off. And when I pay for content, I'd like to access all the content, even the images, without having to forfeit my privacy (and non-paying customers should also have that right)

  • kill-the-newsletter.com

    Convert email newsletters into Atom feeds

  • I’m not aware of such a list but this open-source project, kill-the-newsletter, comes to mind. Converts an email newsletter to an RSS feed where you can open new entries in a browser (and can more easily block ads/trackers with an extension like uBlock Origin).

  • 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.
