Does anyone have a good recommendation for a Yelp-like OSS?

#32I know many non-technical small-scale entrepreneurs who would love to use OSS self-hosted tools to run the basics of their businesses and get away from BigTech. I'm talking little shops, yoga studios, restaurants, recording studios, etc. All they need is basics - email, calendars, maybe some shift management, inventory management, and obviously documents. These people are completely non-technical and I don't know of…
A few of us are trying to get development moving again on Sandstorm.io. It's a super handy (and default-extremely-secure) piece of software, it just needs a little nudge of developer interest. It's original target was the enterprise space, but it's an awesome self-hosting platform for privacy nerds too.
The OSS is out there, but you've gotta wrap it in enough design work to make the experience comparable to closed source offerings: Most businesses aren't going to want to pay for worse software.

Does the HN crowd not like Cloudflare? If that's the case, why not?
Most of the "HN crowd" like cloudflare a lot, as it's quite convenient, especially for personal projects. There are a few very vocal people who dislike it for all kinds of reasons: taking down too much, not taking down enough, centralization, etc.

I'll have to agree, there are few but very vocal.

I did similar work between gigs a couple years back. There is absolutely a customer base for such things. But they don't have tech budgets - even pricing our services fairly cheaply, they would balk at the cost. So there may be a business opportunity, but you need enough scale that each single customer is happy with the price.
Maybe it's particular to my local culture (Berlin), but many people I talked to said they would pay a premium to support a small business and to acquire independence and privacy. They're not technical, but they understand the ramifications of these things. Not sure if this culture is everywhere, but my gut feeling is that in Berlin it's big enough.

#37This is _awesome_! I'll be absolutely adding these to our Template store over at https://KubeSail.com (YC S19). I use FreshRSS, BitWarden and Firefox-sync all the time on my pile of Raspberry PI's at home! Very excited to show off some awesome home-cluster utilities we're working on soon that will make self-hosting these kinds of tools a breeze! Great work on the site!

#38the screenshots are a nice touch, but I still prefer https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted
the screenshots are all just a screenshot of whatever the project's listed homepage is. not a single screenshot of the actual software. these screenshots are pretty useless.

#39Website constantly times out for me, stuff doesn't load etc. Not sure if that's because of traffic due to this post or not.
For me, on all search results, only the first page loads. Second page is an empty document:
https://selfhostedsource.tech/self-hosted/?page=2&search=web
(Not sure if a bug or due to load.)

#40Nice list - not sure the screenshots add a great deal though.
agreed. they're just screenshots of each project's homepage. not a single screenshot of the actual software.
