Self-hosted DNS routing and service, including both options for simple and painless routing and advanced options, e.g. REST api access.

GitHub - axkibe/lsyncd: Lsyncd (Live Syncing Daemon) synchronizes local directories with remote targets
thumbnail

lsync can act as a repeatable rsync replacement. Under the hood it utilizes rsync (though there is an advanced rsyncssh integration available which does not re-transfer files over rsync that already exist on the target machine).

Ideal for local-remote scenarios, where changes occur on one machine and should be replicated on another (e.g. mirroring project directory and code changes, automatically pushing them to remote development environment for compilation/testing/building)

notcurses - character graphics and TUI library comes with some handy cli apps

Notcurses is a character graphics and TUI library; actually a promissing ncurses alternative. It was mentioned (1, 2) already in this subreddit.

Besides being a library it comes with some handy apps which you may find interesting:

  • ncls: an ls that displays multimedia in the terminal
  • ncneofetch: a neofetch ripoff
  • ncplayer: renders visual media (images/videos)
  • nctetris: a tetris clone
  • notcurses-demo: some demonstration code
  • notcurses-input: decode and print keypresses

Tag your time, get the insight. traggo alternative, pretty similar but not based on key:value pairs #tags instead.
More mature interface and reporting functionality, less extensive dashboarding possibilities.

GitHub - edwardtufte/tufte-css: Style your webpage like Edward Tufte’s handouts.
thumbnail

Style your webpage like Edward Tufte’s handouts.

Uses a variety of css rules (embedding stuff in e.g. article, figure, checkbox tags) to emulate Tufte's visual design,
with margin notes, side-notes, and image positioning close to its text.

Some implementations seem a bit awkward (the way sidenotes are declared, the iframe wrapper introduced) and the link-underline text-shadow hack seems pretty bad (especially on restyling pages dark-mode), but it seems nice for inspiration.
