Project mention: Show HN: Paisa – Open-Source Personal Finance Manager | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-22I don't know about a service that does this, but you might be able to script the website logins with https://playwright.dev/

Project mention: Show HN: I've built open-source, collaborative, WYSIWYG Markdown editor | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-06-23

I'm using Motrix (https://motrix.app) at the moment, because it was the easiest and gave me the best download speeds by far. It's also open source! (https://github.com/agalwood/Motrix)
-
Joplin
Joplin - the secure note taking and to-do app with synchronisation capabilities for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.
I can't recommend the Zettlekasten Method enough: https://zettelkasten.de/introduction/
You can do it with index cards or you can use software to practice the method and grow your note collection. I now prefer Zettlr (https://www.zettlr.com) after using Joplin (https://joplinapp.org), which are both FOSS.
One of the core strategies of the Zettlekasten Method is to link notes to each other. That's how knowledge grows: connections and synthesis (internalization/application of the connections)
Here's a 3-year-old video on the method that serves as a good primer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFZHuWLA09M

Looking for great boilerplate, OAuth, live-audio streaming with backend, live updating components, checking if a meeting had opened on Teams/Zoom, and beyond the awesome list examples (https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome-electron) of apps people have built! New to the ecosystem and Google is already a close friend of mine. Thought HN may have some specific examples.
-
Quasar: It does not consider itself a library, but more of a framework. That, in my eyes is a bit confusing as it is based on Vue, but the idea is that you can use it to create websites and apps, meaning it uses a CLI to generate different outputs for web, mobile, desktop, SPA (Single Page Apps), SSR (Server Side Rendering), and more.
