  • Lila

    Discontinued ♞ lichess.org: the forever free, adless and open source chess server ♞ [Moved to: https://github.com/lichess-org/lila] (by ornicar)

  • https://lichess.org/

    It's the best online chess platform by far - super slick and fast UI, lots modes and tournaments, analysis tools, many of the best players in the world play there frequently. It's open source and completely free, miles ahead of any paid competitor and the team behind it seem to have admirable integrity and just want to make something great instead of selling out.

  • EPANET

    The Water Distribution System Hydraulic and Water Quality Analysis Toolkit

  • EPANET (https://github.com/OpenWaterAnalytics/EPANET & https://www.epa.gov/water-research/epanet )

    Chances are the water network that's connect to your home was modelled using this FOSS by the US EPA.

    Unfortunately, it was probably done using a commercial tool by Bentley or Innovyze/Autodesk but the underlying modeling engine was from the EPA.

    OsiriX DICOM Viewer

  • OsiriX viewer. I got it to view my before/after CT scans to see exactly what happened in surgery. It's pretty wild being able to see inside yourself.
