This is the 08 installment in my 'Monthlog' - a public list of blog posts, announcements, videos, podcasts, software, and libraries that catch my attention each month. I hope that regular readers will skim through the listings and find one, or multiple, things that pique their interest.

Note: Posts are not ordered in any particular way. If you find an article you think I might like, send it to me via one of the channels on my homepage.

  • Ask HN: What do you self-host? - I self host a few things, including a Bitwarden_rs instance. It's always interesting to see what others self-host, and also the incredible range of open-source software that exists for different niches.

Software and Libraries

  • Zettlr - Last month I mentioned Obsidian, an alternative to Roam Research. Zettlr follows in the same vein and is an open-source markdown editor and knowledge base. I'm interested to see how this develops.
