Interesting tools

Each week we review 2—3 of the most interesting developer tools. Here's what we featured this week.

Automatisch

Self-hosted Zapier alternative.

What we like

Connect steps into workflows. Many integrations e.g. Airtable, Discord, GitHub, GCal, OpenAI, YouTube. Entirely self-hosted (partially open source). Triggers flow into one or more actions. Will run periodically (every 15 mins) or whenever a trigger receives an event. Easily create your own integrations in JS.

What we don't like

Mixed licensing with enterprise version. Not considered stable v1 yet.

Glance

Personal dashboard.

What we like

Self-host a dashboard with customizable widgets e.g. RSS feeds, Subreddit, weather, server stats, sparklines, call APIs. Everything is set up via one or many config files. Themeable. Shipped as a single (Go) binary and can run as a simple container.

What we don't like

The page loads once and not all widgets refresh dynamically - no requests are made in the background, so you need to refresh the page.

Betas and previews

Here's the interesting beta and early access releases we featured this week.
