Open source miscellaneous

Software that does not fit in another section. Repoly tracks 77 open-source miscellaneous tools, each scored nightly from its repository activity and ranked by that score alone. penpot leads at 99/100 with 1,236 commits in the last 90 days and 62k stars, followed by Reactive Resume (99) and Anubis (98). 49 of the 77 score 70 or above, 47 publish a Docker image, and the median health is 83. MIT is the most common licence, carried by 24 of them. Between them they stand in for Adobe Acrobat, ChatGPT, DeepL and Figma. The score weighs commits in the last 90 days, release recency, stars, archive status and Docker support; a low number means low measurable activity, not low quality, so a finished, stable tool can legitimately sit lower down.

How the self-hosted tools compare

penpot and Reactive Resume tie at 99/100. revealjs has the largest following at 72k stars, yet ranks #54 of 77, held back mostly by commit activity (11 commits in 90 days).

The most recent release is Usertour v0.9.7, published today. LanguageTool, F-Droid, Revive Adserver and 3 more publish no tagged releases, which costs up to 25 of the 100 points. string.is, ESMira, Geeftlist and 1 more score under 40, so check recent activity before adopting them. By stack, Nodejs (20), PHP (15) and Python (8) are the most common. penpot, Reactive Resume, Anubis and 30 more are permissively licensed; ConvertX, Habitica, Open-Meteo and 38 more are copyleft. Keygen, RemoteUtilities and ScreenConnect are source-available rather than open source, which limits commercial reuse. Kasm Workspaces, RemoteUtilities, SANE Network Scanning and 1 more are not hosted on a forge Repoly can read, so they have no measured score yet.
