A minimal Matrix chat client, focused on performance, offline functionality, and broad browser support. Tries to be as desktop friendly as it is mobile friendly. UI components are reusable and composable. Can be added to an existing site. Stores everything locally. Right now it's a PoC.
This is the most basic version of a self-hosted persistent chatroom. A simple chat webapp. Quick and dirty. Basic admin functionality. Push notification enabled.
A simple, lightweight embedded in memory JSON database. Load in and/or write to a JSON document in the file system. Interact with it the way you'd interact with a database abstraction layer, with INSERTs and SELECTs. Search and sort as you'd expect.
Very small - only about 400 LoC. Fully commented. Has no deps.
Mitogen is a Python library for writing distributed self-replicating programs.
There is no requirement for installing packages, copying files around, writing shell snippets, upfront configuration, or providing any secondary link to a remote machine aside from an SSH connection. Due to its origins for use in managing potentially damaged infrastructure, the remote machine need not even have free disk space or a writeable filesystem.
It is not intended as a generic RPC framework; not intended for direct use by consumer software.
The focus is to centralize and perfect the intricate dance required to run Python code safely and efficiently on a remote machine, while avoiding temporary files or large chunks of error-prone shell scripts, and supporting common privilege escalation techniques like sudo, potentially in combination with exotic connection methods such as WMI, telnet, or console-over-IPMI.

Epicyon is an AGPL licensed ActivityPub protocol compliant federated social network server suitable for hosting a small number of accounts on low power systems requiring minimal maintenance, such as single board computers. It's the ActivityPub equivalent of an email server, storing posts as human readable JSON on file, rather than in a database. It also uses only a small amount of RAM.
Python, HTML+CSS. Almost no JS is used.
Has pretty much all of the features you'd expect. Has a calendar feature for local users. Has bookmarking of specific posts.
A free and open source alternative Twitter front-end focused on privacy.
Inspired by the invidio.us project.
No JavaScript or ads

Prevents Twitter from tracking your IP or JavaScript fingerprint
Unofficial API (no rate limits or developer account required)
AGPLv3 licensed, no proprietary instances permitted
Dark theme
Lightweight (for @nim_lang, 36KB vs 580KB from twitter.com)
Native RSS feeds
Written in Nim for some odd reason.
A list of lightweight [versions of] websites without all the bloat. Websites included include no, or very little JavaScript and are smaller than 1MB in size (usually smaller by a significant margin).
A self-hosted, single-user, ActivityPub powered microblog. Fully compatible with the Fediverse. Also implements Indieauth. No Javascript - HTML and CSS only! Uses poussetaches for its activity queue. Offers RSS, ATOM, and JSON feeds. Has a minimal API.
Maybe use this as a scrobbling server?
Filestash lets you easily manage your data regardless of where it is stored: FTP / SFTP / Git / S3 / Minio / Dropbox / Google Drive
Graphical file manager. Lets you create mountable shared drives on a server for collaboration. Plugin architecture so it can be customized. Has its own text editor. Tries to run on as many platforms as possible, from desktop to mobile. Tries to be lightweight.
k3s is intended to be a fully compliant Kubernetes distribution with the following changes:
Legacy, alpha, non-default features are removed. Hopefully, you shouldn't notice the stuff that has been removed.
Removed most in-tree plugins (cloud providers and storage plugins) which can be replaced with out of tree addons.
Add sqlite3 as the default storage mechanism. etcd3 is still available, but not the default.
Wrapped in simple launcher that handles a lot of the complexity of TLS and options.
Minimal to no OS dependencies (just a sane kernel and cgroup mounts needed). k3s packages required dependencies
CNN, only, as light as possible.
Build beautiful, responsive, readable interfaces. Lightweight, only 14k in size. Looks easy to use.
Txti is fast web pages for everybody. Most of the world still does not have internet, but many websites from countries like the United States are big and complicated.

With txti, anyone can use any device to share their story.

Easily themeable, just drop a new CSS file into the directory Adminer is installed in.
A lightweight implementation of the server side of the Mumble protocol. Intended for use on embedded systems, but should compile just fine on full OSes. It specifically runs on Arch Linux and NetBSD, anyway...
