This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

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

    SeaTable: easy like a spreadsheet, powerful like a database. Unlimited rows in a single base.

  • We're in the process of building an alternative to Google Photos over at https://kubesail.com. You can use it now with a spare PC, or buy our custom designed hardware at https://pibox.io.

    Today we're prepping to publish our App to the iOS app-store, which will do local-wifi-photo-synching much like Google Photos, only faster (due to wifi).

    As for Google Drive, apps like NextCloud (https://kubesail.com/template/erulabs/NextCloud) work really well, though they're not quite as slick as google products. For Google Sheets, there is https://seatable.io/.

    Self-hosting software is coming along nicely. All it really needs to get as slick as Google products is more users and more money and more attention. We're hoping to provide exactly that by making it far easier to buy a "Google-Photos-replacement box" (PiBox + PhotoStructure) or a "Slack-replacement Box" (PiBox + Mattermost)

  • Twake

    Twake is a secure open source collaboration platform to improve organizational productivity.

  • I haven’t tested this product at all, just happened to catch my eye a while back. However, it appears to be in the early stages of development. It’s open source and has similar features to google drive.

  • 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.

  • rclone

    "rsync for cloud storage" - Google Drive, S3, Dropbox, Backblaze B2, One Drive, Swift, Hubic, Wasabi, Google Cloud Storage, Yandex Files

  • I find tools like https://rclone.org/ useful have a storage service transparent from the backend.
