Could we use MINIO as database ？

“### Describe the bug When I use Minio's S3 storage, it seems to be unusable, with an error message saying "http: server gave HTTP response to HTTPS client." However, my Minio is already configured with TLS. Is this an operational issue on my part 🤡, or does the otherwise…”

Show HN: BookStack – An open source wiki platform and alternative to Confluence

“I'm currently helping set up a wiki for students of a STEM faculty, and we've settled on MoinMoin (v2, that is). We're broadly building on a previous MediaWiki setup, which we've found to be too "Wikipedia-oriented". I've looked at a few very extensible and featureful wikis…”

Show HN: BookStack – An open source wiki platform and alternative to Confluence

“I enjoy Cargo and DPL, they're powerful and great tools for automatically aggregating and filtering content, and I used both of them a lot at a MW that I was an admin on for several years. But it still isn't easy to build an ordered, hierarchical, book-like structure with…”

Bose has released API docs and opened the API for its EoL SoundTouch speakers

“I wish they had done the same with there Soundlink mini series. They are amazing little speakers, but have some weird bugs with the battery. API docs probably wouldn't help here so much, as open sourcing it's firmware. One can dream.”

Docs – Open source alternative to Notion or Outline

“Agreed. Here I invoke the wisdom of groff old timers and of younger CSS developers: where the latter stops being useful when a professional looking pdf must be generated? I can prepare a decent looking document, or spreadsheet, with LibreOffice styles (CSS) without particular…”

Gollum – A simple, Git-powered wiki with a sweet API and local frontend

“Fun to see this on HN! I originally created Gollum to power GitHub's wiki system and wanted to see if we could use Git to make our wikis more powerful AND more open. I thought it would be cool if you could just clone your GitHub wiki and modify it locally or export it to some…”

Gollum – A simple, Git-powered wiki with a sweet API and local frontend

“I wrote a book for O'Reilly about GitHub and their API and for some reason no one noticed that we added a chapter on Gollum (there isn't an API to access Gollum on github). It was the weakest one of the chapters, IMHO, but, you know, deadlines. O'Reilly was gracious enough to…”

Wallabag: a self-hostable application for saving web pages

“I've been meaning to give Wallabag a shot, and might actually have the wherewithall to do that now. I'd used Readability, until it shut down (and still have nearly 800 articles now identified only by its rdd.it URL shortener, which is to say, utterly useless to me). I've been…”

Wallabag: a self-hostable application for saving web pages

“Request / recommendation to the Wallabag team: please provide a video or slideshow (I'd actually prefer the latter, mostly) which shows an advanced-use workflow. The wallabag.org video shows ... pretty much nothing of any value. I checked YouTube and found several "how to…”

Show HN: Linkding, a self-hostable bookmark service

“Linkding is a very lean bookmark service that provides bookmark management, tag categorization and search. It is built to be self-hosted and runs perfectly fine on a Raspberry Pi. It also provides an import/export function that is compatible with other services like Pinboard.in.…”

1.43.0: New update broken?

“I'm running Linkding via Docker and well as you can see in my log, it stucks in a boot-loop. This issue occurs only on the most recent update. The 1.42.0 still runs fine. Are there any breaking changes I am not aware of or is the build broken? ``` 2025-09-29T09:20:09.568705309Z…”

Lepton image compression: saving 22% losslessly from images at 15MB/s

“> To encode an AC coefficient, first Lepton writes how long that coefficient is in binary representation, by using unary. [...] Next Lepton writes a 1 if the coefficient is positive or 0 if it is negative. Finally, Lepton writes the the absolute value of the coefficient in…”

Lepton image compression: saving 22% losslessly from images at 15MB/s

“I've always wondered if it would be possible to losslessly convert the MPEG2 DCT coefficients, motion vectors etc to the equivalent subset of h.264 and then take advantage of the better prediction and entropy encoding of the later standard. Maybe you could even go further and…”

Miniflux: A minimalist and opinionated feed reader

“> Miniflux is compiled statically without external dependencies, drop the binary on your server and you are done. > Works only with Postgresql There’s a serious need for a pure-go, static compile relational DB. If you’re thinking you can use SQLite you’ll be mistaken, because it…”

My reading stack with Miniflux/RSS and Pocket

“Miniflux sounds like a better, more complete version of my side-project[1], I had rolled my own at the time because I wanted offline caching but it's obviously not that useful anymore in our current work-from-home world... [1]”

TiddlyWiki: a local, single-page wiki

“I am also a TiddlyWiki user. I use it as personal note taking + bookmarking + daily reading log. The best feature it has is a Wiki feature, not any TiddlyWiki feature: backlinks. I could make the backlinks show up in the footer of every page (tiddlers) and this reminds me…”

TiddlyWiki: a local, single-page wiki

“Every few years it seems like I do a complete survey of all the personal wiki solutions out there. TiddlyWiki always comes in a close second to vimwiki for my use. Tiddly is an impressive system and kudos to the developers. I think my ideal would be an updated VooDooPad that…”

FSNotes: Notes manager for macOS and iOS – native, open source

“I have Joplin also, and yes it’s good, and it syncs well these days (not so in past I found) and there’s no good reason I have not be using it full time, but I’m not, something there niggles me in use, maybe it’s just a shade slower, hard to define, but moving from ios to OS X…”

FSNotes: Notes manager for macOS and iOS – native, open source

“In a c2s model, TLS is usually not considered end-to-end encryption. End-to-End refers to your server not being able to read the contents of your communications. For something like FSNotes, that would probably look like encrypting your notes with your own public key before…”

Show HN: Dendron – A Hierarchical Tool for Thought

“Agreed. I've personally never used Roam, as I definitely need my files to be in some form of plain text. Obsidian is cool in my eyes because I can start it up and click around if I want (more of review tool and looking at a cool graph), but in general I just create/edit my files…”

Show HN: Dendron – A Hierarchical Tool for Thought

“You're right, Dendron doesn't easily integrate with web clients yet. Files are plaintext markdown and most of our users are using dropbox/nextcloud setup. That being said, Dendron lets you publish your notes as static sites (eg. is just published using notes) and we'll be…”

Epub files are not always parsed correctly

“Moving from Discord to GH request as you had suggested. I have embedded metadata in my epub3 files that are being created by Calibre. Calibre developer claims to comply to epub3 specifications. As shared over Discord, the series tag is not picked up by Komga. Also, the book…”

Retrieve metadata from online sources

“Mimicking Plex, Komga could manage metadata for series and books, and retrieve metadata from online providers. See also #48 for manual metadata edition. Potential providers: - [ ] for Comics: - [ComicVine]( which offers a public API - [League Of Comic Geeks]( has no API - [ ]…”

SilverBullet – note-taking Git-friendly alternative to Logseq and Obsidian

“In principle it's (imo) the same as Dendron [ ] but with its own runtime rather than a VSCode-runtime. I love <3 Dendron btw. Note-taking couldn't be any simpler AND vendor-agnostic. Thanks for sharing SilverBullet.”

SilverBullet – note-taking Git-friendly alternative to Logseq and Obsidian

“SilverBullet author here — I have zero expectation of a business model. I've been working on this for three years in my spare time. It's purely a labor of love.”

Show HN: Colanode, open-source and local-first Slack and Notion alternative

“Hi, thanks for the question! I haven’t used Huly extensively to provide a detailed comparison, but from a quick look (and a test I did some time ago) it seems to take a more opinionated approach: features such as issues, projects, and overall layout are pre-defined. Colanode, by…”

Show HN: Colanode, open-source and local-first Slack and Notion alternative

“Different person but my prios for export: 1. Versioned export/backup which will be guaranteed to work with current Colanode version 2. ..., well-documented 3. ..., with migrations so it's always future-compatible 4. ..., human-readable I think integrations with any specific…”

Own a platform build: six of eight are open

“Eight platform builds are compiled from one source tree. One person maintains all eight and can realistically test two of them. That is not a staffing complaint, it is the root cause of a specific class of bug here. Five separate findings from a recent audit turned out to be the…”

[Feature] Integration with HERMES AGENT

“### What kind of feature? New integration (Notion, Linear, Slack, etc.) ### What problem would this solve? I would integrate this tool with hermes agent so that hermes can use it as llm-wiki instead of its default skills. ### Proposed solution I would integrate this tool with…”
