    SyncThing's lack of selective sync is disappointing and what prompt me to use the proprietary version, but for what it's worth, it's a great piece of software that everyone should use. A lot of people bitch about the cloud, but here's the alternative to cloud that works well enough in most cases, at least for simple backup.

  9. Introducing a great productivity tool to keep all messaging, productivity, and online services in one place
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    On the same note, Ferdium. Ferdium is really nice isolated way of accessing my chat/email/feed/social media. It was annoying when I needed to keep my browser open at all times, and it's more convenient to centralize it in one place that's automatically saved for when I distro-hop. Its dark mode works well enough, and userscript support... isn't mature, but works well enough to block some ads.

  10. Get the weather information in ASCII art
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    I've got one that monitors a bunch of specific websites/redditors for updates, one that checks a site for the weather (http://wttr.in - it's awesome), and then a RSS monitor that monitors a handful of local news stations for breaking news (to supplement my tweetdeck feeds). I use multiple "Panes" to display various outputs from them.
