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

    Deduplicating archiver with compression and authenticated encryption.

  • A simple way to do online backups separately from sync is Duplicati. It's open source and it'll back up an encrypted, deduplicated archive of your files to wherever you choose. I have my most important stuff backed up for free on the 15G free space on Drive. I also have local backups using Borg. Duplicati is automatic, but limited to more important stuff. Borg is for all my files, and I run it once manually every day or so.

  • jabref

    Graphical Java application for managing BibTeX and biblatex (.bib) databases

  • Just gonna shamelessly plug another reference manager here: JabRef

  • 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.

  • configuration

    Discontinued My configs: OS setups, dotfiles, scripts and more. (by cadadr)

  • FWIW I have this little Perl script that fetches BibTeX from doi.org for DOI numbers: https://github.com/cadadr/configuration/blob/76466b1342aaadfddf3453ab70ada4a15e82afbb/bin/doi2bib.pl I searched a lot for a way to make something similar for ISBN -> BibTeX to no avail...
