Repo Roundup June 9th

Onlook

https://github.com/onlook-dev/onlook

Onlook is “the Cursor for designers”. Craft websites, prototypes, and designs with AI in Next.js + TailwindCSS. Make edits directly in the browser DOM with a visual editor. Design in realtime with code. An open-source alternative to Bolt.new, Lovable, V0, Replit Agent, Figma Make, Webflow, etc.

Appwrite

https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite

Appwrite is an end-to-end backend server for Web, Mobile, Native, or Backend apps packaged as a set of Docker microservices. Appwrite abstracts the complexity and repetitiveness required to build a modern backend API from scratch and allows you to build secure apps faster.

Using Appwrite, you can easily integrate your app with user authentication and multiple sign-in methods, a database for storing and querying users and team data, storage and file management, image manipulation, Cloud Functions, messaging, and more services.

AppFlowy

https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy

AppFlowy is an open-source alternative to Notion that positions itself as "the AI workspace where you achieve more without losing control of your data." Built with Flutter and Rust for cross-platform compatibility, AppFlowy offers collaborative workspace functionality including projects, wikis, and team management tools, while prioritizing data privacy and security - addressing key limitations users often face with proprietary solutions like Notion.

The project is community-driven and designed with extensibility in mind, providing building blocks for individuals and enterprises to create customized workplace management solutions. Available across desktop (macOS, Windows, Linux) and mobile platforms (iOS, Android), AppFlowy can be self-hosted, giving users complete control over their data while maintaining the aesthetic appeal and core functionality that makes tools like Notion popular for project and knowledge management.
