Weekly Highlights

Every so often, I revisit the collection of apps I monitor for selfh.st/apps to flag projects that are no longer maintained and prevent them from being recommended to readers (some day I'll get around to creating a separate view for them).

Given the relatively slow news week, I thought I'd pay tribute to a few of these projects.

In alphabetical order:

Similarly, here are a few projects that made a splash at launch but never received more than 1-2 months of development (what we'd call the AI effect today):

And lastly, an honorable mention: the DumbWare suite of apps. They aren't technically unmaintained, but much of the hype has fizzled after a short burst of app launches last year. According to the project's Discord, the developer recently had a baby and is taking time off to be present, so no shade from me.

In other news:

Happy selfh.st/ing!

Built as a straightforward alternative to existing apps like Outline, LeafWiki boasts a simple deployment and file-based storage system that relies on a single SQLite database for metadata tracking.

LeafWiki can be easily deployed via Docker and doesn't require any additional containers for functionality.
