  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Wiki.js

    Wiki.js | A modern and powerful wiki app built on Node.js

    Surprised they didn't recommend Wiki.js under the Wiki section, imo it's the best modern Wiki software right now. Might not be as battle-hardened as Mediawiki but my experience it's more pleasant to use https://js.wiki/

  • ec2-macos-init

    EC2 macOS Init is the launch daemon used to initialize Mac instances within EC2.

    I guess you don't consider AWS a major cloud provider?

    https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/mac/

    You can choose from either x86 or M1 machines.

  • 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.

  • This project seems to use the same API as Server.app to obtain the push certificate automatically and a Dovecot plugin as available as well.

  • micromdm

    Mobile Device Management server

    Not very - there are several reference ones in various languages and frameworks. The difference I'm upset about is that Profile Manager got the closest to acting like a proper enterprise MDM, but still wouldn't let me supervise devices because I'm not a company. I'm not some weirdo who wants full control to devices I don't deserve it on, but I do want to make sure my grandparents' iPhones are up to date, or have the ability to make it beep when they call (from a land line) that they've lost it, or push family calendars or email accounts to their devices so they don't have to enter passwords. Apple has decided those features are only for the enterprise or schools, and I'm sadly neither.

    If you're interested this[0] is the MDM reference I'm most interested in these days.
