Russia to Legalize Software Piracy

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
  • flutter_rust_bridge

    Flutter/Dart <-> Rust binding generator, feature-rich, but seamless and simple.

  • Depends on what your requirements are. If it "modern" design (let's not start the one millionth discussion on what native/modern design is here), that is also supported on mobile/web, then I would say go with flutter as UI and something like rust as your main language to write your business logic in [1].

  • osifont

    Free TrueType font for CAD projects

  • > Russian companies adding great features to GPL software and not sharing them.

    I suspect that is already happening. For example Astra Linux is a Debian derivative but their developers don't appear to be active within Debian.

    The other thing is that some FOSS may remove support for Russia in some way. A font removed characters only used in Russian/Belarusian. Qt are blocking downloads from Russia/Belarus. OpenBLAS are considering removing for Russian Elbrus processors.

  • 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.

  • OpenBLAS

    OpenBLAS is an optimized BLAS library based on GotoBLAS2 1.13 BSD version.

  • Lunar

    Intelligent adaptive brightness for your external monitors

  • I'm tired of the TnT Russian team cracking my macOS apps. Both Lunar (https://lunar.fyi) and rcmd (https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd) are now available for free on macOS piracy websites.

    I made many attempts at discouraging this through anti-piracy measures I learned while working as a malware researcher a few years ago. But if I want my apps to also be available on offline devices, there's really no way to combat this.

    The apps are also targetted more toward power users which are more likely to know about cracked apps. This is really hurting indie devs.
