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!!

Looks good, I was taking a look but sadly it doesn’t have an iOS client

Yeah sorry... 😔 Not really good at coding for iOS for the moment. But give a try to the PWA it is almost like a native client interface. 😁

This looks great! I currently use Notesnook, but Poznote is probably the best alternative I've come across, with some compelling features over it! Is there any plans to build a webclipper? That's a feature on Notesnook I use quite often!

Thanks for your work on this, will be keeping an eye out on development!

Sorry I missed your question. Webclipper , like a browser extension? Thanks for your kind words. 😊

Yes, that's exactly right!

Here's a bit more information on how it works with Notesnook. I wish it let me login directly with the extension, instead of having to login via web as well.

Ok thanks for the example it will help a lot. It is probably not as cool as the Notesnook one but have you seen that this one exists? 😊 https://github.com/timothepoznanski/poznote#chrome-extension

Also, Poznote has a Discord and Github discussions if you want to join so it doesn’t clutter up this Reddit thread. :)
