Business Marketing with Nika
51 replies
A few days ago had a convo about open-source with one guy and it made us search for some open-sourced solutions.
We tried to find one or 2 but ended up with more. So I decided it is quite a good list – why not reverse it into the post? 📝😀
The list of useful open-sourced tools:
AppFlowy – managing tasks (Notion alternative)
Bitwarden – password manager
Cal – scheduling calls and meetings
Chatwoot – chatting platform, customer support (something like Crisp)
Dub – link management
Excalidraw – a virtual collaborative whiteboard
Ghost – publishing (something like Substack or Medium
GIMP – graphic designs (something like Photoshop)
Jitsi – video meetings (something like Zoom))
LibreOffice – something like Microsoft Office kit
Nextcloud – cloud storage (something like Google Drive)
OnlyOffice – creating documents
Penpot – design, prototyping
PhotoPrism – managing photos
Screenity – screen recording
TabbyML – for coding, copilot
Thunderbird – email, newsfeed, chat, and calendaring client
Volamail – Open source AI-powered email
🔗 Links for all of these are in the comments. 👇
Thanks, guys for completing the list:

TLDRaw – sketching

Blender – 3D graphics
Inkscape – vector graphics

Thanks for sharing! Btw, have you tried Cal? How does the free version compare to Calendly, and how’s the Outlook integration? Thanks!

@henry_habib Definitely try! I even think that I tried it first (I didn't have experience with calendly, I went for Cal first)

I tried it in the early stages so there were fewer features but I think they offered something like charging the price for a call. I had a good experience with that.

@busmark_w_nika Thanks, will check it out then.

Solid list.
I love Bitwarden... Have used it for 5+ years. Ghost is awesome too -- I've used it on one project and was kind of shocked it was FOSS. It's so polished. On the other hand -- set up a self-hosted Nextcloud instance at one point back in the day, but UI/UX was too clunky. way behind google drive, dropbox, etc.

@duffdevone Great to know others' personal experiences. When Drive runs out my space, maybe I will try Nextcloud :DDD Just kidding. I need to feel that the product is good to use it :)
I’ve personally used Bitwarden and it’s solid, definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable password manager.
