@danb I think you've officially inspired a movement:
This might be a silly question, but my web analytics are telling me selfh.st is receiving a ton of new traffic from #HackerNews, but I can't find anything on HN from the past 24 hours linking to it.
Is there another way to track this down?
Merry early #Christmas to me... Ordered the new @homeassistant #voice hardware the day it was announced and it arrived this morning after originally having been scheduled for delivery on the 28th.
I've never been much of a #hardware reviewer, but I'll report back here with my findings!

To keep up with the anticipated influx of requests, I've also created a GitHub discussions page for those who'd like to request new icons, updates to existing icons, or report any errors.
(Please don't use this thread.)
After months of hard work, today I'm releasing the collection of #icons initially built to power the my #selfhosted #software directory. It has since been expanded to 600+ icons that can be leveraged for #homelab #dashboards, #documentation, and more:
As usual, I've included options for sorting and searching by name - and have even started developing light versions to be displayed against dark backgrounds.
Feel free to drop some feedback!
Dropped a new episode of The Self-Host Cast with none other than @danb himself, open-source advocate and developer of @bookstack and RSS. Give it a listen and let me know your thoughts!

A few other things to note:
- Shortcuts: 'selfh.st/activitypub' and 'selfh.st/fediverse'
- Apologies if I missed anything. By default, I've excluded software that hasn't had any development activity in the last year or two.
- The 'Details' toggle can be used to browse the directory with visible details (or click the background of a tile to view details for a single project)
And lastly, feel free to reach out if you'd like to have a particular piece of software added to the directory!
Showing the #Fediverse some love this morning with a new app directory dedicated to #ActivityPub platforms, clients, and tools for easy browsing and discovery:
https://selfh.st/apps/?directory=activityPub
Users can browse by the various software types with a filter for platform (web, desktop, mobile) and various sort options based on popularity (repo stars), recent development activity, and more.

Just dropped a new episode of The Self-Host Cast featuring a casual conversation with Ivan, the developer of the #vehicle maintenance tracking application #LubeLogger.
Would love some feedback on ways to improve or suggestions for future episode topics!

https://selfh.st/apps update:
I've been overwhelmed with the positive feedback from the community since last week's launch and have been trying to add projects as fast as the requests come in.
Two new features since launch: License details added to the project tiles and a "Recently Added" sort option for users to easily view projects added since their last visit.
Next feature on the list: RSS feed for newly added project notifications
