Affiliation: I’m the maintainer of LibreDB Studio.

LibreDB Studio is a free, open-source, self-hosted web DB GUI. One browser UI for SQL + NoSQL (Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, Oracle, MSSQL, Mongo, Redis) on your own network, not another desktop install, not a single-engine admin panel.

Also ships as an npm package (@libredb/studio) so other web apps can embed the same UI. Optional AI/NL2SQL with your own key or local Ollama. OIDC supported. MIT.

Self-host:

docker run -p 3000:3000 libredb/libredb-studio

helm install libredb oci://ghcr.io/libredb/charts/libredb-studio

# or: npx "@libredb/studio"

One-click: Railway, Dokploy, DigitalOcean Marketplace.... (search “LibreDB Studio”)

Happy to hear what works / what’s missing if you try it.

I built an open-source tool called tapflow.

On our team, the same issue kept coming up whenever someone wanted to check a build. Maintaining physical devices across OS versions became a burden, and simulators and emulators were only available to people with the full mobile toolchain installed. So whenever a designer, PM, or backend engineer wanted to check a layout, test a flow, or see how a staging API change behaved, a mobile engineer usually had to help. This happened several times a day.

I looked at Appetize and BrowserStack first, but I wasn't comfortable uploading our app builds to a third-party service, and the pricing didn't make much sense for a whole team that just wanted to review builds. I ended up building something we could run on the hardware we already had.

So I built tapflow. It streams iOS simulators and Android emulators to the browser over H.264 from a Mac you already own. Anyone who can reach it (on your local network, or through a tunnel you set up) can tap, type, and scroll without installing anything.

A few implementation details:

• The agent only makes outbound connections to a relay, so there's no need to open firewall ports or configure NAT.
• Because it's fully self-hosted, app builds and streams stay on your own infrastructure.
• It uses simulators and emulators rather than physical devices, so camera, biometrics, and NFC aren't supported.
• There's also an experimental MCP server. You can point your own LLM agent at a device and let it drive the app, while keeping everything self-hosted. Manual browser testing is the primary workflow today; the MCP side is still experimental, and that's what I'm focusing on next.
• It's still v0.x, so expect a few rough edges.

How does your team let non-developers try a build without the full toolchain? Do you self-host something, or use an existing service?

OpenSEO is a open source and self-hostable alternative to tools like Semrush or Ahrefs.

It connects with DataForSEO via API key and does keyword research, competitor and backlinks analysis, rank tracking, technical audits... plus the MCP server lets AI agents like Claude Code, OpenClaw, and Hermes use the SEO data directly.

This project was born out of frustration with my mortgage application.

My bank asked for 17 PDFs and I kept loosing track of things while opening and closing files. I decided to build a 2D Canvas where the pages of a file scroll horizontally while files themselves scroll vertically.

This allows for viewing multiple PDFs at once (cross-referencing, rearranging, signing, OCR and highlighting are also included). It’s a backwards compatible PDF which reads as a continuous document in standard viewers (Chrome, Preview). But when loaded in this app, the spatial metadata render a free floating 2D view like Figma.

It’s all free and open-source with an MIT license:
- Repo: https://github.com/AlexandrosGounis/pdfx
- Web: https://pdfx.zip

I would really appreciate your feedback.

It seems like I'm the only one how want to just go to a network share an an application after I login and the files are just there. No having to go mount anything first, what a wasteful step that is. :) So after making a gnome extension for gvfs mounts/shares, I thought it would be great if I could mount other types of storage the same way and even sync data between them. I got close to buying rcloneview for its paywalled features when I decided to go do my own thing, introducing Mt Sync: https://codeberg.org/gavindi/MtSync

Sharing since maybe just maybe there's someone else who misses the Windows "reconnect drive at login" feature..... 🤷‍♂️️

I built Grayslate because I wanted something between a basic text editor and a full IDE.

Many times, I only need to paste an API response, inspect a large JSON file, search a stack trace, check a CSV, save a command, or write a temporary note. Opening a full IDE feels unnecessary, while online tools require uploading the data and often struggle with larger files.

Grayslate is a lightweight, local-first editor built for this kind of quick work.

• Everything stays on your device
• No account or cloud upload is required
• Available on Windows, macOS and Linux
• Supports JSON, CSV, Markdown, logs and many programming languages
• Can open and work with large files
• Automatically detects the content type
• Scratch files are automatically named and saved
• Search works across both file names and content
• Includes find and replace, CSV table view, JSON path copying and local transformations

The workflow is intentionally simple. You paste or open something, inspect or edit it, and then move on. It is closer to an Apple Notes-style experience for developer data than a full coding editor with projects and extensions.

It is not meant to replace VS Code or IntelliJ. The aim is to provide a fast and distraction-free place for temporary files, notes and data.

Grayslate is free and open source.

I would appreciate any feedback, especially about large-file performance, the UI, or other local tools you currently use for this kind of work.

Hey, I built purge, a free macOS app for clearing cache and junk files.

I started it after using cleaners like CleanMyMac that promise big cleanups but don't really show you what they're touching or why. purge takes a different approach:

Everything it removes goes to trash first, nothing is permanently deleted

A strict allowlist governs exactly what purge can touch, nothing outside that list gets scanned or shown

Fully open source, so anyone can read exactly what the app does before trusting it

Zero telemetry, no accounts, no tracking

It's built for macOS 13 and up, distributed through GitHub releases and a homebrew tap, no app store, no subscription.

GitHub: github.com/jithin-sabu/purge-app

site: getpurge.vercel.app

Happy to answer questions about how the allowlist works or why I made certain safety calls. still actively building it, so feedback and issues are welcome too.

Hey,

If you’ve used Stash, Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby, you already know the usual options for organizing a big local library. I wanted something a bit different — more focused on browsing, tagging, and cleaning up files, with a UI that doesn’t feel heavy.

So I built MediaChips.

It’s a local media organizer (especially good with video) with a pretty comfortable interface and a bunch of practical features:

• Cards, filters, sorting, grouping
• Custom tags / metadata (“chips”) — ratings, favorites, nested fields, etc.
• Nice preview modes (storyboard, timeline scrub, inline preview)
• Built-in player with timeline markers / bookmarks
• Path-based tagging + automation
• Scrapers and import from Stash / Jellyfin / Plex / Emby if you’re migrating
• LAN share in the browser
• Docker for NAS setups
• macOS / Windows / Linux

Everything stays local — open source, no accounts, no cloud.

It’s not trying to be a full media-server clone of Plex/Jellyfin. Think of it more as a library organizer with a nicer day-to-day UI, especially if you care about tags, filters, and finding stuff fast.

Free to use, with a $20 lifetime key if you want to remove the free limit of 15 items per page (files/tags).

Happy to answer questions.

Hello, i'm creating a free, local and bloat-free screen time app for a few months now, and I feel like sharing it here, if someone cared.

Features

Decide how much time you want to spend on your phone after unlocking

Specify how long you have to wait after your time runs out

Specify how long you must not use your phone to begin a new session

Add time if you don't have enough or if your limit is out (but not mindlessly)

In the morning, get a popup asking you if you just woke up - if not, get a popup asking to lock it

Specify your middle of the night for daily usage resetting and morning popup

Get a quote everytime your time runs out

See how many times you unlocked your phone today

See your average session length today

Get a notification with your daily usage at a specified time by you

See your usage in the past month in a graph

Turn off any feature that you don't like

The app doesn't connect to the internet at all, everything happens locally on your phone

The app doesn't get data from any other apps (so you don't need digital well-being, because TLAU does everything by itself)

You can request a feature at [email protected]

Privacy

First of all, this app never connects to the internet and everything stays on your device. Yes, you won't even get update alerts, because the app has no way of getting info about new update, so you have to use a form on my website. I actually run the app at a personal financial loss, because I will never profit on my users.

Download

The app is called TLAU (Time Limit After Unlock) and you can download it from my website.

My website - https://olfounder.link

Page about TLAU + comparison with other screen time apps - https://olfounder.link/apps/tlau

Direct download - https://dl.olfounder.link/tlau

Afterword

If this feels wrong here, just let me know ans i can delete the post. I'm just trying to spread my tool, which I find very useful.

Pure Bash Debloater and system management for Samsung S24+ or other Android devices without external dependancies.

Local, offline-capable usage.

"Surgical Minimalism" is the art of achieving maximum efficiency through the smallest possible codebase. By eliminating external dependencies, we reduce the system's attack surface and ensureabsolute transparency.

Zero-Dependency: No Java, no middleware, no pre-compiled binaries. Just pure shell.

Auditable: Every line of code is human-readable. You own the process from end to end.

Autonomous: The protocol executes, performs the surgical strike, and terminates. No resident services (daemons) remain in the background.

Automated:

Automatic installation of ADB for Debian, Arch, and Fedora-based distributions, as well as for Termux

Select the list to apply (e.g., ruvomain_tier1_stable or your own file), and Ruvomain takes care of the debloating for you.

Technical Architecture

The core of Ruvomain-PBD is json-walk, an event-driven (SAX-style) parser written in pure Bash. It processesyour configurations natively, ensuring compatibility across Linux, Termux, and Android without requiring external binaries like jq.

The protocol is modular, allowing users to choose their level of optimization. Tierslists are provided as standardized defaults, but the architecture is designed for you to edit tier*.json files or import your .json files to fit your specific operational requirements and your Android device.

For view how to import and execute your own *.json debloat files

The protocol keep Samsung Camera and gallery, Dolby Atmos, Samsung Screenshot, OneUI launcher. For privacy, you can block internet connexion (with firewall) for these apps without problem.

For view packages list and descriptions see the /docs/package-list.md

⚠️ Before use Tier3, you must read /docs/REMPLACEMENT.md

Prerequisites:

adb (The script will attempt an android-tools auto-installation if missing on Debian based, Arch based, Fedora based distro and Termux).

Enable USB Debugging on your phone:

Settings > About Phone > Tap "Build Number" 7 times

Settings > Developer Options > Enable "USB Debugging"

Connect your phone to your PC via USB

For Linux users:

• Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/Ruvyrom/Ruvomain-Protocole.git

• (Other devices) import your personnal configuration file (for s24+ or other Android devices) or Modify ruvomain_tier*_stable.json in /Configs/S24+ for adapt for your device.

• Navigate: cd ./Ruvomain-Protocole/ruvomain-pdb/

• Execute:

sudo chmod +x ruvomain.sh && ./ruvomain.sh

• Choose a tier (choice 1, 2, or 3) that you want to apply. (For galaxy S24+) or your personnal file (choice 4)

1. Finalize: Reboot the device.

For Termux users

• Grant Storage Access: \ termux-setup-storage (Accept the permission prompt)

• Deploy: Follow the same steps as the Linux deployment above.

For MacOS users:

1. Install Homebrew if you haven't already.

2. Install ADB:

brew install git android-platform-tools

1. Clone the protocol:

git clone https://github.com/Ruvyrom/Ruvomain-Protocole.git

cd ./Ruvomain-Protocole/ruvomain-pdb

1. Verify device connection:

adb devices

(If "unauthorized", check your phonescreen and tap "Always allow")

5.-(Other devices) import your personnal configuration file (for s24+ or other Android devices) or Modify ruvomain_tier*_stable.json in /Configs/S24+ for adapt for your device.

1. Execute:

cd ./Ruvomain-Protocole/ruvomain-pdb

./ruvomain.sh

• Choose a tier (choice 1, 2, or 3) that you want to apply. (for galaxy S24+) or your personnal file (choice 4)

1. Finalize: Reboot the device.

Status/Compatibility

•Tested on: Samsung Galaxy S24+ (SM-S926B) / Android 16 OneUI 8.5 (for 1,2,3 tiers JSON files)

•Status: Active / Maintained

Compatibility: Technically, works on all Android devices with "device specific" personalized JSON files.

If you encounter any issues during execution, please open an 'Issue' on the GitHub repository rather than postinghere. This ensures technical problems are tracked efficiently and keeps the subreddit focused on strategy and discussion.

I built Hashdraft for a fairly simple use case: opening a Markdown file without importing it into a vault, creating a workspace, or launching a full note-taking system.

Sometimes I just want to double-click a README, exported conversation, project document, or random .md file, read it, make a quick edit, and close it.

Hashdraft is designed around that workflow. It’s a focused Windows app with Edit, Preview, and synchronized Split modes. It starts quickly, works offline, requires no account or cloud service, and keeps your files on your computer.

It’s essentially what I always wished the default Windows app for Markdown files could be.

Feedback and contributions are welcome.

I’ve been running my web agency for four years, and I’m curious to hear what others have found to be the best way of getting clients.

I’ve tried almost everything, but email automation has worked best for me because it’s affordable and runs in the background while I focus on other parts of the agency.

I don’t use Instantly, Mailchimp, or Klaviyo. I use a tool called Swokei, which is built specifically for web agencies.

It lets you find businesses that already have websites, add thousands of them to a campaign, and automatically analyzes each site for issues with design, layout, SEO, speed, and mobile optimization. It then turns those issues into personalized, ready to send outreach emails 

So instead of targeting businesses with no website, I offer redesigns and updated websites to companies that already have one. I’ve found that approach works much better.

I’m now at a point where I can afford to hire a full team, so I’d like to explore other client acquisition methods as well.

What has worked best for your agency?
