Alternative search engines are neat, as are RSS feeds. OpenOrb is a self-hosted app which allows visitors to search over a list of blogs you love. If you put your 10 favourite blogs in there, it'll search just those blogs and not show you any sponsored content or machine-generated garbage (unless... you follow blogs written by machines?) Personal RSS feed readers can usually do this sort of thing, but RSS readers aren’t meant to be shared, so you can think of the search engine as a 'curated feed list as a public service'. I wrote a longer blog post about OpenOrb here:…

Permify was born out of our repeated struggles with authorization. Like any other piece of software, authorization starts small but as things grow scaling it becomes a real pain and begins to hinder product development processes. Ad-hoc authorization systems scattered throughout your app’s codebase are hard to manage, reason about, and iterate on as the company grows. Also you will need to have more specific access controls as things grow. Traditional approaches like RBAC is inefficient for defining granular permissions such as resource-specific, hierarchical, or context-aware permissions.…

Hey HN! Tired of hitting "Sign up for free" buttons only to discover the real limitations after creating an account? Or finding a "free" tool that adds watermarks to everything? Yeah, me too. I'm building kis.tools, a curated directory of tools that: Work instantly - registration only when technically necessary, have genuine free functionality, keep interfaces clean and focused, process data locally when possible, keep promotional messages or ads minimal and unobtrusive Think of it as a home for tools like Eric Meyer's Color Blender (running since 2003!) - tools that do one thing, do it…

I work on R00M 101, a Reddit-based OSINT profiler. While building it, I realized most open-source intelligence (OSINT) tools are scattered across GitHub, outdated blog posts, or random Discords. So I put together a public-facing directory of 100+ OSINT tools used by analysts, journalists, and security folks, free, filterable, and categorized by risk, platform, and use case. The idea was to make something useful and no-friction. Built with static HTML + SQL backend + a lot of caffeine. Would love feedback on how to improve the UX or tool curation. If anyone wants to contribute tools or help…

Hello everyone! We have just launched ClimateTriage.com, a platform helping you to contribute to open source projects focused on climate technology and sustainability. We provide a curated directory covering climate change, sustainable energy, biodiversity, natural resources & more. Our hope is to utilize the work of Open Sustainable Technology and ecosyste.ms, in order to pragmatically enable developers/contributors to get involved in these fantastic projects. I built the webapp with Next.js/TypeScript, using the ecosyste.ms API to take a local copy of the repositories - finally…

I got tired of collecting open source projects in my chrome bookmarks so I decided to compile a curated list of: - Recently active projects on GitHub - Mostly dev tools (but also productivity, analytics) - Projects which are "Alternative to X software" My bookmarks are finally empty:D If you have a great open source tool you use, I'd be glad to hear your suggestions. Also, any feedback is greatly appreciated.
