My Open-Source toolkit for 2024

• Outline

  194 24,001 9.9 TypeScript

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

  

Outline is another open-source tool I’ve been using lately for note-taking and knowledgebase purposes. Previously, my app of choice for this was Bear.app. It worked out well for markdown notes, but I needed something more like a wiki to organize content. I discovered Outline in late 2022 and found it to be a snappy experience and just what I needed: nestable collections, markdown, and a decent search experience. Outline delivers that and more. It also offers real-time collaborative editing like Google Docs and public shares for either a single page or for all nested pages of a share.

• serpbear

  7 1,252 8.7 TypeScript

  Search Engine Position Rank Tracking App

SerpBear – I’ve been getting back into SEO and search engine position tracking. I’ve been using this tool to see how my site and others are doing over time.

• Listmonk

  73 13,381 9.3 Go

  High performance, self-hosted, newsletter and mailing list manager with a modern dashboard. Single binary app.

Listmonk – An open-source alternative to Mailchimp just released version 3. It’s great as a stand-alone newsletter. Also seems like a low lift for capturing leads for side projects.

• signal-cli-rest-api

  18 1,101 8.7 Go

  Dockerized Signal Messenger REST API

n8n – Zapier alternative. I just set up a workflow that calls my SerpBear API, sends that to quickcharts to create a graph, and then sends me a message on Signal with signal-cli-rest-api. I’m thinking of building some templates through the creator’s program. Let me know what you’d be interested in seeing.

• Kanboard

  82 8,136 8.4 PHP

  Kanban project management software

  

I kicked off 2024 with an attempt to get more organized and continue my quest to rely less on big tech. To start things off, I’m trying out an open-source taskboard called Kanboard. It’s like Trello but without all the integrations or surprises. I’ve been using it for personal tasks and side projects. I like these boards for dumping out the things I want to do and then visually sorting them into their status and priority. Doing the things is still hard, but at least I know what I’ve got on my plate.
