Discover Hidden Gems: Open-Source Software You Should Know About

linux fork (not production ready yet) https://github.com/BrycensRanch/SnapX
wrote last edited by [email protected]It's not easy, ShareX depends on NetFramework components, which Linux don't have, it don't even work well with Wine, because of this until now all intents are not very functional or even abandoned (ShareNix (early alpha), ShareXin (archived)....). It's better to use Screenshot tools for Linux, even if they all aren't so complete like ShareX. Architecture differences between Windows and Linux are very big.

This is not open source software, it's licenced under the Anti Capitalist Software Licence.
I still appreciate it in this list, but the caveat is important
wrote last edited by [email protected]TIL about the ACS Licence. Thanks.
I thought that if the source code was available on github, it would count as open-source whatevery the licence, my bad.

GrayJay platform player. I use it for youtube only but it has many sources.
Grayjay enables you to create and watch video content in your own terms, fully retaining ownership and having control over what you watch. Your content on your terms
https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay/
(Not to poop on NewPipe, but this app is better in my opinion, I swapped after their player was bugged for me and I got a bit annoyed on the devs response to not adding SponsorBlock (you can say no to a feature ofc, but he decided to add reasoning that was bad))

@dogs0n It's not open source

Logseq: note-taking and knowledge management application that supports Markdown and Org-mode syntax, featuring powerful linking, block-based organization, and full local data storage for privacy
There's also SiYuan, which is more Notion-like in its functionality, but open source and uses local storage.

@dogs0n It's not open source
Is that repo not the code or does it have a (bad) license or something?

@dogs0n Yeah the license is not open source. It restricts use, modifications and distributions. I thought people in this community would know what the name of the community means.

Similar idea for Android: TrackerControl.
Better Invizible Pro, it offers in reduced form similar features as Portmaster (DNScrypt, selective per app Firewall, apart TOR and I2P network access).
(download it from F-Droid, not from the Google Play store, which I don't trust)

Rip. I had a look and have never heard of their license before.
