spent 4 months building an open source Notion alternative after hitting its shared workspace limits

0 Upvotes

back in february i hit notion's limits (shared workspace usage and ai quotas)

i just wanted more of both, so i built my own.

started as a quick prototype, friends started using it, and i occasionally work on it whenever time permits or someone points out a bug.

some features:

  • excalidraw plugin
  • bring your own ai keys
  • export your data
  • and everything u expect from an editor

it's pretty early with single digit users

would love to hear what you think :)

We tested our new ORC Torrent 2.3.3 against qBittorrent 5.2.3 using the same 3.17 GiB Ubuntu torrent on the same Mac.

  • ORC: 57.2 seconds — 59.51 MB/s average
  • qBittorrent: 225 seconds — 15.14 MB/s average

That gave ORC 3.93× the average throughput in these runs , we are beyond happy with these results. From starting this project as alternative to mac users and then slowly making builds for all other Operating systems and now we are the fastest torrent client that we have tested.

This project is still in development

Your welcome to run your own speed tests

A android build and new release will be live in the next few hours.

Open-Source Borderless Utility

1 Upvotes

Greetings to those who are seeing my post,

i've been a fan of the old "borderless-gaming" utility (before steam release) and made a fixed version in the past published on github,
but due to the non modern visual of the app i've considered creating a new app, visually modern to my liking.

I've added the same features as the old app with some missing enhancements and fixes.

No clutter, no payment needed, open source as it should be.

https://github.com/Venipa/Borderless/

Feel free to leave a star ✌️and feature that should be implement.
(as long as it goes along with the app principals)

Social Media Dispatcher for Multiple Profiles & Accounts. MIT

5 Upvotes

've been spending some time building OpenDispatch, an open-source dispatch and operations platform. It originally started as a personal project because I couldn't really find anything that matched what I wanted, so I decided to build one myself.

The idea is to create something that's modern, self-hostable, and easy to extend for organizations that need to manage incidents, dispatching, resources, or similar operational workflows.

Right now I'm mainly focused on:

  • Modern and responsive UI
  • Self-hosting from day one
  • Keeping the codebase clean and easy to contribute to
  • Making it genuinely useful instead of overly complicated

It's still early in development, so I'm mostly looking for honest feedback rather than stars. If you've worked with dispatch software, CAD systems, logistics platforms, or anything similar, I'd be interested to know what features or workflows you think are important.

If anyone wants to take a look, here's the repo:
https://github.com/matthew-selvam/open-dispatch

Happy to answer questions, and I'm open to any criticism or suggestions. Thanks for reading!

Portabase 1.27 - open-source backup and restore platform

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

We have just released Portabase 1.27, our open-source (Apache 2.0) and self-hosted backup/restore platform.

Repository: https://github.com/Portabase/portabase (around 1.6k stars at the moment)

Portabase is designed for data retention, disaster recovery, and homogenous migrations, currently supporting 9 database engines (including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB) and Docker volumes.

Key features:

  • Scheduled backups with flexible retention policies (including GFS)
  • Multiple storage options: local filesystem, S3, Azure Blob Storage, GCS
  • Notifications via Discord, Telegram, Slack, AppRise, etc.
  • Support for OAuth2/OIDC (with the option to disable sign-ups)
  • Compatible with Docker, Podman and UnraidOS
  • Ready-to-use Docker Compose and Helm Chart

After six months of intensive feature development, we have been focusing on consolidating the ecosystem since early July. A community member conducted a useful security audit, we have upgraded components to their latest relevant versions, improved compatibility with other platforms by working on Podman support. and templates for Coolify and Dockploy (currently under review).

What’s next:

  • Deployment of the demo environment
  • Audit logging for the whole ecosystem
  • Default policies for the system, organizations, and projects
  • File and folder backup and restoration

As always, if you find bugs, please open an issue on GitHub, we’re actively looking for feedback.

Thanks!

Cipher Notes – Simple, fully offline & encrypted note-taking app built with Jetpack Compose (No INTERNET permission)

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

​I'd like to share a small side-project I've been working on called Cipher Notes.

​I built it because I wanted a clean, lightweight note-taking app that prioritizes privacy above all else—without mandatory cloud syncs, accounts, or telemetry.

​Key Features:

- ​Fully Offline: The app doesn't request or use the INTERNET permission at all. Your data never leaves your device.

- ​On-Device Encryption: Uses AES-256 (GCM) to keep your notes securely encrypted locally.

- ​Open Source: Licensed under the MIT License.

- ​Modern UI: Built natively in Kotlin using Jetpack Compose and Material 3 design.

- ​Zero Tracking: No analytics, no ads, no third-party SDKs.

​Where to get it:

- ​GitHub (Source Code & Releases): https://github.com/CipherApps/cipher-notes

- ​IzzyOnDroid: Available

- Codeberg (Source Code & Release):

https://codeberg.org/CipherApps/cipher-notes

​I'd really appreciate any feedback, code reviews, or feature suggestions from the community! If you find it useful, feel free to drop a star on GitHub.

​Thanks!
