  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • airgap-vault

    The AirGap Vault is installed on a spare smartphone that has no connection to any network, thus it is air gapped. This app handles the private key.

  • The project has apps for mobile, which make turning an old phone into an hardware wallet pretty easy, as long as your phone can support it (more on that in a bit). If you're technically minded you can build the project yourself and run it as a web app: https://github.com/airgap-it/airgap-vault (Note, it's a JS project. I had issues building with npm but no problems building with yarn which the dockerfile also uses). This will allow you to turn an old desktop or laptop into hardware wallet. I wanted to try on a raspberry pi, but I don't have a camera and have read about some issues getting chromium to recognize pi cameras.
