Story of raising VC funding for my open-source project

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
  • windmill

    Open-source developer platform to turn scripts into workflows and UIs. Fastest workflow engine (5x vs Airflow). Open-source alternative to Airplane and Retool.

    For coders that would stay away because of those limitations, we built Windmill (https://github.com/windmill-labs/windmill) as an OSS low-code builder allowing you to define flows (sequence of scripts essentially) made out of arbitrary code in Deno or Python. You can use it as a self-hosted AWS Lambda if you need to but can gradually leverage all the convenience of low-code builders when you feel ready to, and start reusing modules made by the community on https://hub.windmill.dev . You can see it as an open-source alternative to Pipedream which is very different from what Tooljet is doing. So hoping I am not hijacking too much the post as the tools have very different scope and are more complementary than competing.

  • lowdefy

    The config web stack for business apps - build internal tools, client portals, web apps, admin panels, dashboards, web sites, and CRUD apps with YAML or JSON.

    Shameless plug, also check out Lowdefy - https://github.com/lowdefy/lowdefy

  • 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.

  • httpie

    🥧 HTTPie CLI — modern, user-friendly command-line HTTP client for the API era. JSON support, colors, sessions, downloads, plugins & more. (by httpie)

    Another great example of a solo-founder OSS project is HTTPie https://httpie.io/
