Server Software #

Gonic: Music streaming server that implements the (Open)Subsonic API and is accompanied by a nice web interface.
Miniflux: Feed reader with simple configuration, minimal UI, and great UX.
PrivateBin: Pastebin service where encryption and decryption happens in the browser.
ZNC: Featureful IRC bouncer with an extensive web interface for configuration.

Desktop Software #

File Managers #

lf: TUI file manager; much faster than another program that rhymes with “danger.”
nnn: An even more minimal file manager with a more unorthodox workflow.

Image Viewers #

nsxiv: Simple and extensible image viewer for X; has a great UI.
swayimg: Image viewer for Wayland.

Miscellaneous #

dinit: Powerful and well-implemented init system; takes everything great from systemd and implements it simpler.
turnstile: User session tracker and service manager-agnostic per-user service manager.

Notifications #

herbe: Daemon-less notifications for X.
mako: Simple and lightweight notification daemon for Wayland.

Terminal Emulators #

foot: Stupid fast and extensible terminal emulator for Wayland.
st: Extremely simple terminal emulator for X; my personal favorite terminal emulator.

Development Tools #

Shell Scripts #

ShellCheck: Static analyzer for shell scripts; the gold standard for people who care about their scripts.
shfmt: Shell script formatter; while quite opinionated, it works great for me.

Emacs Packages #

Eglot: An LSP client implemented right - great configurations out of the box, and generally “just works.”

I’m taking suggestions for anything that could fit the bill here! Be sure to let me know if you have anything.
