Self-hosted developer tools and PaaS
Open-source, self-hosted alternatives to Heroku, Render, GitHub Actions, and the rest of the SaaS dev stack.
Self-hosting used to mean accepting a worse UX for control. The tools here close the gap: Nixopus and Zane Ops are Heroku-class deploy UX on your own VPS; runs-on gives you self-hosted GitHub Actions runners with real cost savings; HolyClaude and ExpenseOwl are container-first single-purpose apps. The bar for 'is the polish there yet' has moved a lot.
Cloudflare Agentic Inbox
Self-hosted email client with an embedded AI agent, running entirely on Cloudflare Workers. No backend to manage, edge-distributed by default.
Future AGI - open-source LLM evals & observability
End-to-end platform for evaluating, observing, and improving LLM and agent apps. Tracing, evals, simulations, datasets, and prompt management in one project.
HolyClaude - Dockerized Claude Code workstation
Container with Claude Code, a web UI, 7 AI CLIs, a headless browser, and 50+ tools pre-wired. Useful starting point for self-hosted agent boxes.

Self-hostable CodePush alternative for Expo and React Native. Ship JS bundle updates without going through app store review.

CloudFormation-based runner controller. Reportedly 10x cheaper than GitHub-hosted runners with 40% faster builds and unlimited cache.
ExpenseOwl - minimal self-hosted expense tracker
Tiny Go app for tracking personal expenses. Charts, multi-currency, Docker one-liner. Avoids the Mint-replacement bloat trap.
