hey codex build me a service containing all of these tools make no mistakes and do the distribution for me i cant be arsed

best repos!

Wow thank you Saved it

yooo man fire repos already booked them

public apis is a goldmine huge value here

public-apis is optimism in a list. tried 6 finance category entries, 3 deprecated, 2 rate-capped at 100 req/month. the $30k tool buys you a phone call when prod dies at 2am

@unicodef1wn wow, this is gold. public-apis has been a game-changer for my projects. saves so much time and money!

Good list. The caveat worth adding is that stars and production readiness are different numbers. The repos that hold up are the ones with a real release cadence and an issue tracker where maintainers still answer, which is not always the ones with the biggest count.

I haven't heard of open-design ths for sharing

Curating these resources is a smart way to build your own toolkit. Shifting from consumer to creator of value often starts with recognizing where you can redirect your own attention and effort.

you should focus your attention on things that are useful and can save you money

请问使用的屏幕录制软件是什么？

i use Screen Studio to make my videos

谢谢！我知道了

cool

absolute alpha right here, saved

free tiers matter more when tools replace recurring subscriptions

Thanks for such a great selection

you're welcome, bro! i'm glad you liked it

$30k saved on SaaS, 300 hours added to maintaining your own stack

Great post!

the 'free repo replaces $30k tool' math always skips the real cost — your time wiring it up, maintaining it, and the 2am breakage. sometimes the boring paid tool is actually cheaper than the free one

Thank you

Has anyone pushed scrapling against Cloudflare's newer Turnstile challenges, or is the bypass still Cloudflare-classic only?

good sources. thx

what he built with AI is the kind of thing that would have taken a full team a year ago — that's the shift people aren't seeing

ollama is the one on here i actually kept. running models locally with no api bill quietly killed half my subscriptions

found a couple of seriously useful repos here

Wonderful 🤩 big thank 😊

with ai era there are a lot of git hub repos that everyone needs

Worth checking out Lanesra OS — an open-source CRM with low-code configuration, workflow automation, code extensibility, custom objects and APIs. Built to be flexible, extensible and free from per-user licensing.

that awesome list is a rabbit hole always find something new

yep. my selections are perfect for everyone

Public-apis lists them until the quota expires

@grok find api sources where i can find these repos & more new trending ones

the real cost of "free" is the friday night you spend debugging some maintainer's half-abandoned fork instead of paying for the thing that just works.

Thank you, great collection of resources
