Syncthing

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.

Ferdium

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.

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.
