24 alternatives to R2 Desk Pro
I built R2 Desk Pro because the Cloudflare R2 dashboard is fine for one-off tasks but painful for real workflows — bulk uploads, sync automation, cost visibility, and large bucket navigation across multiple accounts. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Built with Tauri v2 and Rust. A few things I focused on for the security model: - Vault-gated access with Argon2id passphrase — no unlock, no R2 operations - Credentials stored exclusively in the OS keychain, never in app settings - All R2 requests execute in the Rust backend so secrets never sit in browser code paths - License validated via…

I've been working on this for some time now, starting with vm2, then deno-core for 2 years, and recently rewrote it on rusty_v8 with Claude's help. OpenWorkers lets you run untrusted JS in V8 isolates on your own infrastructure. Same DX as Cloudflare Workers, no vendor lock-in. What works today: fetch, KV, Postgres bindings, S3/R2, cron scheduling, crypto.subtle. Self-hosting is a single docker-compose file + Postgres. Would love feedback on the architecture and what feature you'd want next.

Hi HN, I'm Adriano, one of the makers of Vaultrice. I'm excited (and a little nervous!) to share what we've been building. For years, we found ourselves in a frustrating loop: whenever we needed a simple real-time feature—like a "who's online" list, a collaborative app, or just sharing state between a marketing site and our main app — we'd end up spending days setting up the same stack or discarded to do it. Setting it up, it always involved wiring together a database, a WebSocket server, an API, and managing the connection state. It felt like massive overkill for what we were trying to…

Last week Cloudflare released Cap'n Web [1], a schema-free capability-based RPC protocol. I built capn-rs this week - a Rust implementation with full wire protocol compatibility.

Hi! I got tired of setting up tools I can't explain to a team in a few words like sops or git-crypt, just to store few files with environment variables or secrets, so I built lockenv as a simple alternative. It's basically a password-protected vault file you commit to git. No gpg keys, no cloud, just lockenv init, set a password, and lock/unlock the secrets. This tool integrates with OS keyring, so you're not typing passwords constantly. Should work on Mac/Linux/Windows, but I tested it only on linux so far. I am not trying to replace any mature / robust solution, just…

There are many task tracking solutions out there but this one is mine. It's open source and free to host on your own Cloudflare project. https://github.com/TAJD/projektor I had issues with paying for some of the solutions out there, and then the local solutions like beads etc always had quirks I didn't want to work around. I built my own solution on top of Cloudflare's very generous usage tiers, and I've enjoyed using and developing it over the past month or so. I thought it might be good to share here and get feedback. The deployment process is designed to be super…

https://shelf-bookmarks.stupidlabs.lol I have been using raindrop.io for years now, and it has worked perfectly for me. Seriously, no issues. But, bookmarks are something that are a bit too personal... they allow profiling you. And I don't want anyone doing that to me, Hence, this app. It's 100% offline and free. It's built in Rust using Tauri, is roughly 6MB only, is beautiful to look at, and packs more features than commercial ones. Make sure to checkout the "All features" page as well from the homepage. Also, it has an inbuilt api server (configurable) so you can automate as…

This is an educational reference implementation showing how to build reasonably secure, standards-compliant authentication from first principles on Cloudflare Workers. Stack: Hono, Turso (libSQL), PBKDF2-SHA384 + normalization + common-password checks, JWT access + refresh tokens with revocation support, HTTP-only SameSite cookies, device tracking. It's deliberately minimal — no OAuth, no passkeys, no magic links, no rate limiting — because the goal is clarity and auditability. I wrote it mainly to deeply understand edge-runtime auth constraints and to have a clean Apache-2.0 example that…

Hey folks, I'm super excited to announce the release of a new UI for Apache Kafka, Confluent, Redpanda and Kinesis that focuses on Teams and Data Mesh. (Note: the desktop version is also very popular with individual developers!) Why is this important? Because providing a solution that can be used by both IT and business (non-technical) users is essential when building applications that process business data. Of course, we are mainly developers working on Kadeck. So you won't miss any of the features you need to troubleshoot and monitor Kafka and your applications. In fact, we have put a lot…

Dataflare▲11Hello everyone, I'm an indie hacker and, like many others, I also use various database management software. About a year ago, I evaluated several database-related apps, and my ideal app should be lightweight, simple, and beautiful. Finally, I decided to create my own and recently completed it. This is my first released product called Dataflare, built using Rust/Tauri/React. It supports dozens of databases and has a size of only 30MB. It is simple enough but still lacks some functionalities. Hope it will be useful to you, and if possible, please provide me with some feedback.

I’m building Nautilus, a cross-platform desktop manager for Linux servers. While there are many SSH clients out there, I wanted something that combined a high-level dashboard, a full SFTP explorer with an integrated editor, and specialized tools like a Cron job manager and Process monitor—all in a modern, lightweight desktop package. Key Technical Highlights: Tauri + Node.JS Sidecar: We use Tauri for the native windowing and Rust security, but the heavy SSH/SFTP lifting is done via a Node.js sidecar (using ssh2). This allowed us to leverage a very mature ecosystem while keeping the…

Hi HN, I’m Pavel. I built Sklad because, as a DevOps engineer, I was frustrated with how I handled operational data. I constantly need access to SSH passwords (where keys aren't an option), specific IP addresses, and complex CLI one-liners. I realized I was storing them in insecure text files or sticky notes because standard clipboard managers felt too bloated and password managers were too slow for my workflow. I wanted a "warehouse" for this data—something that lives quietly in the system tray, supports deep hierarchy, works completely offline, and looks industrial. The app is built with…
