  • Gotify

    A simple server for sending and receiving messages in real-time per WebSocket. (Includes a sleek web-ui) (by gotify)

  • Sounds like a good use for gotify https://github.com/gotify/server

  • todo.txt

    ‼️ A complete primer on the whys and hows of todo.txt.

  • If you like text files I wonder if you'd be interested in todo.txt? It is mainly useful if your items are 1 line of text; if you have paragraphs wouldn't work really at all. There are some applications for different OSes developed around it. You don't really need to use the whole system with dates and stuff though.

  • 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.

  • snapdrop

    A Progressive Web App for local file sharing

  • Lua

    Lua is a powerful, efficient, lightweight, embeddable scripting language. It supports procedural programming, object-oriented programming, functional programming, data-driven programming, and data description.

  • I use as self-hosted instance of the Prosody XMPP server that uses a TLS certificate from Let's Encrypt. Prosody is lightweight, written in Lua, and hardly uses any resources.

  • Prosody IM

    IMPORTANT: due to a drive failure, as of 13-Mar-2021, the Mercurial repository had to be re-mirrored, which changed every commit SHA. The old SHAs and trees are backed up in the vault branches. Please migrate to the new branches as soon as you can.

  • Conversations

    Conversations is an open source XMPP/Jabber client for Android

  • On the desktop I use the gajim XMPP client. On my phones I use Conversations and Blabber (the latter is a fork of Conversations), and all messages between clients are encrypted with OMEMO.
