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

    Keystroke launcher for Windows, macOS and Linux

    Good list. I'd probably add OpenShell (probably quite obvious) and Ueli as an app launcher.

  • mpv.net

    Discontinued 🎞 mpv.net is a modern media player for Windows that works just like mpv. [Moved to: https://github.com/mpvnet-player/mpv.net] (by stax76)

    There is also mpv.net for Windows which is compatible with mpv configurations and settings. You can also change the osd for regular mpv or mpv.net too. I use MordenX.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • ModernX

    A modern OSC UI replacement for MPV that retains the functionality of the default OSC.

    There is also mpv.net for Windows which is compatible with mpv configurations and settings. You can also change the osd for regular mpv or mpv.net too. I use MordenX.
