A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

iGoogle inspired start page with tabs support and built in RSS reader, weather, quote of the day widgets which can be resized and positioned around, couple customisation options are available as well. I was missing such type of app ever since iGoogle stopped being available, so here it is. There are probably some bugs lurking around which i'll try fix in coming days/weeks but it's usable for now.

Full disclosure, app was created with massive aid of LLMs (mainly Claude Sonnet)

So I am a noob what exactly is Ideck/Igoogle?

iGoogle was great. It was a customizable personal dashboard with widgets you could drag and drop, including a really good built-in RSS reader. Which was pretty sweet at the time. Unfortunately, like any Google product that was actually good, it was discontinued in 2013.

Like Crunchy said, iGoogle was providing You with canvas on which You could place various types of widgets, resize them to your need and arrange as You want them. You could also create tabs so it was possible to categorise your RSS feeds (Sport, News, Hobby, etc). iDeck is my attempt at recreating that functionality.
