24 alternatives to Daminik – An Open source digital asset manager

Hey guys! We just published our little open source project on GitHub and would love to get some feedback. It's a very early release (alpha) but we thought it would be better to do it earlier so that we could get direct feedback. Over the last 10 years we have built small to large web-projects of all kind. Almost every project involved managing images and files in one way or another. How do we manage our images and where? What happens if an image or logo changes, does it get updated across all sites? Which Host/CDN to choose? Is everything we do GDPR-compliant? With Daminik, we are…

    Hello, My name is Yahia, I've been working on scraping products for a long time and maintain a couple of free sites in my spare time (E.g. knifegeek.io) What prompted this is i've rebuilt scraping infra at every company I've started and finally just made it a product. Pass a URL, get clean markdown, html, images, sitemap or pass a domain, get logos, colors, socials, industry data. Goal is to offer a better service than VC funded competitors at a fraction of the cost. Stealth is included and automatic at no additional cost (normally an upcharge by alternatives). Would love your honest thoughts.

    Hey HN! We just launched open sign up on Buildstash. It's a platform for managing and sharing software binaries. I'd worked across game dev, mobile apps, and agencies - and found every team had no real system for managing their built binaries. Often just dumped in a shared folder (if someone remembered!). No system for versioning, keeping track of who'd signed off what when, or what exact build had gone to a client, etc. Existing tools out there for managing build artifacts are really focused on package repository management. But miss all the other types of software not being deployed that…

    Hey there! This is Dan and Ustin (@uzarubin), and we want to share something cool we've been working on for the past year - an open-source `tail -f` for your data, with a UI. We call it "Streamdal" which is a word salad for streaming systems (because we love them) and DAL or data access layer (because we’re nerds). Here's the repo: https://github.com/streamdal/streamdal Here's the site: https://streamdal.com And here's a live demo: https://demo.streamdal.com (github repo has an explanation of the demo) — — — THE PROBLEM We built this because the…

    Hey HN! Mirrorful (https://www.mirrorful.com/) is an open-source developer framework that helps front-end engineers manage their design systems. We’ve been building Mirrorful with the open-source community (https://github.com/Mirrorful/mirrorful) and wanted to share our beta with you. Check out our online demo to get the idea: https://app.mirrorful.com/. Design systems can be thought of as the “building blocks of your app” which makes me think of Lego bricks. Mirrorful helps you manage your codebase’s Lego bricks and ensure that they are…

    Hey HN! We're building an open-source CMS designed to help creators with every part of the content production pipeline. We're showing our tiny first step: A tool designed to take in a Twitter username and produce an "identity card" based on it. We expect to use an approach similar to [Constitutional AI] with an explicit focus on repeatability, testability, and verification of an "identity card." We think this approach could be used to create finetuning examples for training changes, or serve as inference time insight for LLMs, or most likely a combination of the two. The tooling we're…

    In the last few years I've been doing a lot of technical writing, both for my own programming blog and others, and I've noticed there is a lack of good tools for this kind of writing. Whether that was a programming blog post or documentation, I always had to move back an forth between different editors, and sometimes even other apps for content management and the actual content publication. A lot of copy-pasting, and wasted time. Based on this experience I decided to try and build a tool that could provide a good experience for this kind of content from writing to publishing. This (I call it…

    Hi HN, MageCDN is a simple and affordable image hosting service I have been working on for the past few weeks. The idea came out of my own frustration with hosting and optimizing images for my blog. While platforms like Imgur make it really simple to upload images, they don't allow you to embed them. Services like Cloudinary, Imagekit exist, but I found them too complex for my needs. Plus, they get really expensive past their free tier. So, I started MageCDN with three simple goals: - pricing should be affordable and scale linearly. - basic image operations (resize, crop, optimize) should be…

It combines a strongly-consistent key-value database (Raft), S3-compatible object storage, and basic multi-tenancy. Features/highlights: - Raft…

    Hello everyone, We have been developing Agnost (https://agnost.dev) for some time and it has reached a point that we can share with the larger community. What is it? Agnost is an open-source self-hosted Railway.app, Render.com, Vercel.com, Netlify.com, etc. alternative running on Kubernetes clusters. You connect your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repo and Agnost takes care of building the image and deploying your apps to your cluster whenever you push new code to your repo. How it works? Under the hood, Agnost integrates several open-source platforms. For the build and push pipeline…

    I built Snapkit after repeatedly running into the same pain points in image workflows—especially between designers and developers. Most tools focus only on uploading or optimizing, and they’re often over-engineered, expensive, or developer-only. We just wanted something that: • lets designers and developers share assets effortlessly • auto-generates optimized versions and placeholders (Blurhash / LQIP) • delivers via CDN without configuring anything • and doesn’t require any custom code or infrastructure setup It’s designed to reduce all the manual overhead: resizing, compressing,…

    Hello HN, I would like to share Filemat, a web-based file manager that I built because I wanted something with a simple setup and file permissions that work across the filesystem (as opposed to permissions only for a folder managed by the app). It's self-hosted and open-source (currently in beta). I'd be happy to hear your feedback Repo: https://github.com/bingud/filemat

    Hi HN, I’m one of the devs behind StarDesk, a P2P-first remote desktop we’ve been building for ~1 year. We started this partly out of frustration: some popular RDP tools haven’t seen meaningful updates in a long time, and long-standing issues are often left unaddressed. As devs, we really dislike software that stagnates once it “works well enough”. StarDesk is our attempt to do it differently. What we focus on: -P2P by default (relay as fallback) -Low RTT + low jitter > chasing max bitrate -Encoder / input path tuned for real-time interaction -Modern E2EE (TLS/DTLS) UX-wise, setup…

    This idea has been floating in my head for about 10 years. Some of you might remember LowEndSpirit.com back before it became a forum, I started that. I've been obsessed with making tiny, cheap VPS actually useful ever since. TierHive is my attempt to make 128MB VPS great again :) It's a NAT VPS (KVM) platform with true hourly billing. Spin up a server, use it for 3 hours, delete it, pay for 3 hours. No monthly commitments, no minimums beyond a $5 top-up. The tradeoff is NAT (no dedicated IPv4), but I've tried to make that less painful: - Every account gets a /24 private subnet with full…
