My Favorite Self-Hosted Apps Launched in 2024 (selfh.st)
2024 has undoubtedly been a fantastic year for self-hosted software. Not only were developers busy delivering significant updates to existing projects – they were also launching new projects left and right. In my weekly newsletter, I averaged featuring anywhere from 10-15 new projects a week (I'm fairly certain the record was 26 in a single week).
