Try to avoid duplicates, keep it interesting.
Somewhat self promoting for the first two of these items as I’m directly involved. Leaving out the more obvious ones (Linux distro etc.) as they will have been mentioned. I’ll stick to some of the less known things I use.
- Pulsar - a community-led fork of the discontinued Atom text editor. Lemmy community
- Joplin - note taking app. Lemmy community
- Halloy - IRC client built in Rust and Iced
- Navi - Command line cheatsheet tool
- GitUI - Terminal UI git tool
- Skim - Fuzzy finder
- Dust - Disk usage tool (like
du)
Kudos for including some of the Lemmy communities!
Thanks for highlighting Pulsar.
I always found Atom clunky, but it was instrumental in changing how editors were made, perceived, and used.
It did not deserve the death/abandonment it got.
Atom was my go-to editor while in school–hard to believe it’s been long enough to be abandoned already. I’m going to have to check Pulsar out.
Dust has completely replaced
duin my every day work. Other tools also written in Rust I make use of include Bat for an upgraded experience fromcat, Tokei for quickly counting and recognising codes, and several other security tools like RustScan.I learn about Joplin today. Thank you for sharing your list.

Hey I use my own app every day. Let me tell you about it. :)
nephele-serve is the dedicated server version that I use to manage all my Jellyfin movies and TV shows. I also back up all my systems to it with DejaDup.
QuickDAV is the desktop app version that I use to transfer files around all of my way too many PCs, tablets, and phones (I develop mobile apps too, so I have a lot of devices). It’s easier (and usually faster) than using a USB stick, and it’s safer than leaving shares open all the time.
They’re both open source and use the same server software, Nephele, that I wrote for my email service, Port87.
Oh I’m also working on putting up a Docker image for nephele-serve and a Flatpak of QuickDAV.
why not syncthing for files?
I’m not exactly sure what you mean, since Syncthing doesn’t do either of the things I was talking about.
- Syncthing is for syncing files.
- nephele-serve is for running a dedicated WebDAV server.
- QuickDAV is for transferring files.
Syncthing has its own use cases, they’re just not the ones I use these apps for.
And nephele-serve is now available as a Docker image! :)
I’d finish earlier telling you which of my software is not open source.
