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

    Windows system utilities to maximize productivity

  • If you need a launcher like this for windows try PowerToys. It has that plus a few other features, and you can turn off the features you don't want.

  • Ulauncher

    Feature rich application Launcher for Linux

  • This has been a project I've been working on for a few weeks, and the reason I made this is because Ulauncher has some flaws (maybe not flaws to other people) with memory usage. Sometimes this gets very out of hand and uses up to 500MB of ram which I find unacceptable for a application launcher, so I decided to use the design files Ulauncher had and write a compatible backend in Rust. I even managed to get an extension system working (using shared object libraries), which gives you full freedom over Dlauncher. You can view the repo at https://github.com/diced/dlauncher and any feedback on the code/launcher is appreciated!

  • 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.
