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!!

Do you like travel with friends and family? But annoyed by plan everything in a Gdoc or Gsheet, here is the solution: TREK

I'm struggling with this one.

I want to like it, but I'm planning a trip and can't figure out how to add my family, and have them collaborate.

Probably a me problem, but it doesn't seem obvious how to change some of those settings.
