    I switched to Planka after Focalboard went community-supported, but failed to appoint any community leaders. So far, I'm very happy with Planka for my needs at home.

    Maybe something like gitolite then?

    https://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite

    I've not used it personally though, so no idea how well it works in practise.

  • OpenProject

  • Project mention: Elegant open source project tracking, Trello like but self-hosted | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-18
  • Kanboard

    Kanban project management software

  • Project mention: Ask HN: What software sparks joy when using? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-17

    Linux Mint with Cinnamon: https://www.linuxmint.com/ as far as desktop OSes go it's familiar (Ubuntu without snaps by default), whereas the UI feels both snappy, doesn't use too much resources and is actually pretty to look at.

    MobaXTerm: https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ this one is a bit more Windows centric but I ended up paying for it and replaced mRemoteNg and PuTTY with it, it's even better than Remmina or whatever Linux has to offer - you can manage SSH/RDP/VNC/... sessions, input across multiple sessions side by side and it just simplifies things a lot (jump host support, a port forwarding too and so much more).

    GitKraken: https://www.gitkraken.com/ also a piece of software that I paid for, this one actually makes using Git pleasant, feels better to use than SourceTree and Git Cola (even though that latter is wonderfully lightweight, too) and honestly I prefer that to the CLI nowadays.

    Kanboard: https://kanboard.org/ is a lightweight Kanban project management tool, it might not have every feature under the sun but it's the most snappy project management tool I've ever used, looks simple and runs well. I honestly love it, what a nice thing to have.

    Most modern text editors and IDEs: I personally pay for JetBrains IDEs but also like Visual Studio Code as a text editor and both have helped me immensely, they're reasonably performant when you have the RAM, look nice, often give you suggestions about how to improve your code and also have a plethora of plugins in their ecosystems. Nowadays I unapologetically use LLMs as well and overall it feels like I have these great tools and cool autocomplete (that is sometimes a bit silly and wrong) at my disposal, that makes me happy.

    Kdenlive: https://kdenlive.org/ imagine if there was a successor to Windows Movie Maker, though something that gets most of the important stuff out of Sony Vegas, except is also completely free and works on most platforms. Kdenlive is all of that and also somehow quite pleasant to use, I actually prefer it to DaVinci resolve. There is a bit of a learning curve to any piece of software like this, but everything mostly makes sense in this one.

    Gitea: https://about.gitea.com/ I still use this for my personal Git repositories and integrating with CI systems and it's lightweight, looks good and just feels pleasant to use. Previously I self-hosted GitLab and constantly ran into resource exhaustion as well as doubts about the next update is going to corrupt all of my data and break (it did), so now I use Gitea instead.

    Drone CI: https://www.drone.io/ a container native CI solution that I can also self host. It's container oriented, integrates with Gitea nicely, is similarly nice to GitLab CI and doesn't cause me headaches like Jenkins would.

    Docker: https://www.docker.com/ yes, even Docker desktop. It just makes working with containers really pleasant and predictable, even when something like Podman also exists (and also is great). I don't know, I feel like Docker really saved me from having brittle legacy environments, even self-contained containers with health checks and resource limits with still the same brittle code inside of those make me feel way more safe.

  • UVDesk

    UVdesk Opensource Community Helpdesk Project built for all to make a Full Ticketing Support System along with many more other features.

  • Project mention: Need help picking a ticketing system | /r/sysadmin | 2023-04-28

    UVDesk: Free self-hosted, cheap hosting options. Seems pretty robust for the cost Link

  • Redmine

  • SuiteCRM

    SuiteCRM - Open source CRM for the world

  • Project mention: Launch HN: Twenty.com (YC S23) – open-source CRM | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-19

    Odoo is very successful but it's different because it's an ERP so CRM is only a small part of what they do. They tend do do a lot of things so can't do all of them very well.

  • Leantime

    Leantime is a goals focused project management system for non-project managers. Building with ADHD, Autism, and dyslexia in mind.

  • Project mention: Leantime: Project Management System for People with ADHD | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-29
  • taskcafe

  • projectile

    Project Interaction Library for Emacs

  • Project mention: Fuzzy Finding with Emacs Instead of Fzf | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-10

    Could you explain more about this setup? I'm not familiar with "projectile". Is this https://github.com/bbatsov/projectile the same thing you're referring to?

    Sounds interesting. What I've done recently is open my vim in the folder that contains all the organization's repos (the ones I've cloned) and just run ripgrep inside vim to find examples or references to whatever I've seeking. Seems performant enough even without doing anything except letting ripgrep ignore git-ignored stuff (default behavior of ripgrep).

  • markwhen

    Make a cascading timeline from markdown-like text. Supports simple American/European date styles, ISO8601, images, links, locations, and more.

  • Project mention: Phanpy: A minimalistic opinionated Mastodon web client | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-14

    The creator of this (Chee Aun) is quite prolific and creative with their work (https://cheeaun.com/projects/).

    They created https://cheeaun.life, a timeline of their life, more than 10 years ago (which looks to be kept up to date), which was my inspiration for markwhen (https://markwhen.com).
