This week’s top 5 open-source projects (31st of October 2023)
Hey friend 👋 ! The weekend is over, and I am ready to serve you the next 5 open-source projects you can contribute to! From a Typescript learning community to the perfect starting kit for your next SAAS product.
And don't forget, I got this week’s deal too!
Do you want to contribute to a project that helps developers learn Typescript, while also connecting with other Typescript developers? If so, Typehero is perfect for you! With a large user base, and sponsors such as Vercel, this is definitely a project you don’t want to miss out on contributing to.
TypeScript's typing system can be very powerful when used correctly. The problem is that most developers or engineers don't use much more than they have to in their day to day. Inevitably a moment comes where their knowledge just doesn't cut it for a use case, and they have to reach out to a community for help. We aim to be not only the community but the platform they can use to learn more of the intricacies of TypeScript's typing system.
In today’s world finding privacy online can be hard, and when it comes to your financials and budgets, you might want to think twice about where you put this data.
Actual is a local-first personal finance app filled to the brim with all the features you need to keep track of your finances. Being local-first it is possible to use 100% offline, but still being synced between multiple devices.
Being sponsored by Netlify and having almost 100 contributors, this is another project you don’t want to miss out on.
Actual Budget is a super fast and privacy-focused app for managing your finances. At its heart is the well proven and much loved Envelope Budgeting methodology.
You own your data and can do whatever you want with it. Featuring multi-device sync, optional end-to-end encryption and so much more.
You have probably tried it. You got a great idea for a SAAS product, and you want to turn it into a reality. You sit at your desk, ready to code the best version of your idea. But then it hits you, authentication, logs, payment, permissions, etc. All of these boring tasks that you have probably built a million times before, one more time.
The SAAS-starter-kit by BoxyHQ is a perfect solution for this problem. Being built with technologies like Next.js, TailwindCSS, and Prisma, this project allows you to focus on the most important parts of your product, the ones you want to create.
Keeping your users or team updated on the status of your applications can be hard. OpenStatus provides a cheap landing page for keeping track of all your different page statuses.
OpenStatus is open-source synthetic monitoring platform with beautiful status page. We are building it publicly for everyone to see our progress. We believe great softwares are built this way.
Generating in Javascript or Typescript can be a pain in the a**. But worry not, jsPDF is the perfect tool for helping you generate all the PDFs you need, without having them look awful.
With almost 200 contributors and 28k stars on GitHub, this is yet another project you should be aware of.
