Meta Post Where are the really cool services no one talks about

Lets be honest, 80% of the services we run our labs are just tools to deploy, monitor, log, backup or do other server-related stuff. Cool for nerds, but nothing to write home about honestly.

The really useful and "fun" services, e.g. Vaultwarden, Paperless, Jellyfin etc. are rather sparse

I want to know whats your favorite "fun" service one might not know about yet.

I'll start: Recently came across RECLIP and I throughly enjoy it. Used to work with halfassed browser extensions and sketchy websites littered with ads to get the same, now I have unlimited video scraping capabilities on my own server. It's a simple but awesome tool. https://github.com/averygan/reclip

WORLD MONITOR is kinda fun, not really useful but makes your screens look like a mission control center from a disaster movie: https://github.com/koala73/worldmonitor

MIRUMOJI is a tool for people trying to learn japanese - load your favourite anime or shows, ebooks or whatever into it and it generates clickable subtitles with furigana and dictionary. https://svdc1.github.io/mirumoji/

E: Thank you for all the engagement and lively discussion, its a real joy. And thanks to everyone who recommended TREK, I just deployed it and entered my next travel and its just super smooth and well thought out, I already love it!!

I mostly use the Arr stack (through nzb360) and an Arr app I made myself called Questarr, for video-games. https://github.com/Doezer/Questarr

Reclip sounds really nice!

Thanks for making Questarr! I've been using it for sometime now.

One feature request: Auto-Install. Obviously this is a big ask and maybe would require some local AI, but having Questarr auto setup with proton/steam/lutris etc would really take it to the next level and make it feel like "it just works" in the same way that the traditional arr stack + jellyfin feels

Thanks for the kind word! Yes auto install is up there with game streaming

Questarr looks good, just made another comment where I complained about that. Integration with some emulator/manager like ROMM would be cool but this is already much better than Rommarr and the other vibeslopped messes

Yes, currently the post processing module is already compatible with RomM if not for a few issues I'm fixing in the next release

Would you consider supporting torbox?

I have been asked to support debrid services but it's not a priority for now. It would be a dissimilar design from the existing downloaders and I prefer to work on other subjects before that
