  • 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.

  • PhotoPrism

    AI-Powered Photos App for the Decentralized Web 🌈💎✨

  • I'd like to throw in PhotoPrism[1], a web-based photo management tool. It's already moving forward steadily, having recently added a first version of facial recognition. The author wants to make it his full time job, but isn't quite there yet funding-wise.

  • notable

    The Markdown-based note-taking app that doesn't suck.

  • Drilling down this list helped me to find https://notable.app by @fabiospampinato

    It looks like a beautifully simple Markdown Notes Desktop App (Win/Mac/Linux). Have just been playing with it to import plain .txt files lying around no my Desktop. Has a simple out-of-the-way UI for creating markdown pages, organize active ones in tags, favorites or pin to top. Saves as plain .md files in 1 folder. Zen, floating & translucent modes. Looks like a TODO.txt notepad.exe replacement that might stick.

  • WhyILeftGithub

    Discontinued Why I left github

  • Well, I do realize I might be way over reacting, but:

    https://github.com/kuon/WhyILeftGithub

    It is a general feeling of putting everything in the same basket.

  • 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.
