"An open source fediverse server with a long history of innovation. The primary focus is on privacy, consent, resilience, and the corresponding improvements in online safety that this provides."
Features: Federated Access Control : Works with Federated Single Sign-on to provide private/protected media and web resources to anybody, including those visiting from different sites. Groups : Public, private, and moderated. These work across nearly all fediverse platforms. Events : Calendar and attendance; automatic timezone adjusted birthday notifications for friends using this feature. Permissions : Because not everybody wishes to converse with and share intimate facets of their life with random strangers. Cloud storage : Built-in network file storage integrated with federated access control and social networking access/permissions. Available over WebDAV. Editor : Supports markdown, html, and bbcode. Use any or all of these in any post to create a media rich experience. Post editing and preview are supported. Share : Drag-and-drop a number of different things such as files, photos, videos, webpages, maps, fediverse articles, and phone numbers to share them. Lists : Sometimes referred to as circles or aspects, this lets you define your own groups of related friends and communicate with them as a private group. Extend : Change or upgrade your software functionality as desired by installing additional features from addons and the free app collection. Guest Pass: Provide special guest access to private resources and media - on your terms. Friend Zoom: Set your degree of closeness to any connection and then interactively zoom in to filter your stream to close friends; or zoom out to see posts by casual acquaintances. Location Services: Check-in, check-out, and search by distance Delivery Reports: In a decentralised multi-platform world, stuff happens. Sites and networks sometimes go down. Project developers sometimes introduce bugs and incompatibilities. This allows you to determine what happened to your post or comment and where it actually went once you published it. Failsafe: Clone your online identity and content to multiple sites using the Nomad protocol and mirror any changes in near realtime. Then, if your chosen site goes down (either temporarily or permanently) or you get booted off of it for some reason, your online life doesn't have to come to an end or force you to start over. All your friends and all your content are available on any of your cloned instances - at any time. Provides the ActivityPub "Client to Server" API for use with external apps.

an unofficial fork of Shortyz
with wider-ranging support for a variety of puzzle types (e.g. grids that don't follow a standard across/down set-up) and other customisations. Play crosswords! Full board view, clue list view, make notes about clues, anagram helper. Support for block, bar, and acrostic puzzles. Puzzles don't have to be across/down.

"twtxt is a decentralised, minimalist microblogging service for hackers.
So you want to get some thoughts out on the internet in a convenient and slick way while also following the gibberish of others? Instead of signing up at a closed and/or regulated microblogging platform, getting your status updates out with twtxt is as easy as putting them in a publicly accessible text file. The URL pointing to this file is your identity, your account. twtxt then tracks these text files, like a feedreader, and builds your unique timeline out of them, depending on which files you track. The format is simple, human readable, and integrates well with UNIX command line utilities."

"Created by Mozilla Research in 2012, the Servo project is a research and development effort. Stewardship of Servo moved from Mozilla Research to the Linux Foundation in 2020, where its mission remains unchanged. In 2023 the project moved to Linux Foundation Europe. Servo is written in Rust, taking advantage of the memory safety properties and concurrency features of the language. Since its creation in 2012, Servo has contributed to W3C and WHATWG web standards, reporting specification issues and submitting new cross-browser automated tests, and core team members have co-edited new standards that have been adopted by other browsers. As a result, the Servo project helps drive the entire web platform forward, while building on a platform of reusable, modular technologies that implement web standards."
