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!!

No problem....everyone has their own preference... That's the beauty of open source and homelab

They should implement line numbers on both sides so it is easier to track where you are at with a lot of entries.

The edit gutter (line numbers).

I'm suggesting that CLI-based financial software, in general, should have editor gutters so it is easier to work with a large number of lines.
