A lightweight CSS framework for personal sites.
faasd is OpenFaaS reimagined, but without the cost and complexity of Kubernetes. It runs on a single host with very modest requirements, making it fast and easy to manage. Under the hood it uses containerd and Container Networking Interface (CNI) along with the same core OpenFaaS components from the main project. Will work on something as lightweight as a RasPi or a $5us VPS. Doesn't use Kubernetes so maintenance and upgrading is far easier. Implemented as a single executable binary.
Use this starter kit to create a viable, good looking, production-ready website whose entire size does not exceed 2 KB compressed when opened in a browser. Ideally, the total size of all assets (HTML, CSS, favicon, etc.) downloaded by the browser when opening the page will be under 2 KB. You need npm and gulp installed to assemble it, but once you have it everything you need will be in the dist/ subdirectory.
Wiby is a search engine for older style pages, lightweight and based on a subject of interest. Building a web more reminiscent of the early internet.
A collection of shell scripts for light-weight containers. Just requires posix shell and some tools, which makes it easy to run it even on busybox. Even lets you stand up containers that use QEMU to run software for other architectures.
πmenu is a pie menu utility for X. πmenu receives a menu specification in stdin, shows a menu for the user to select one of the options, and outputs the option selected to stdout. Works like a UNIX-native utility: Reads an input, prints an output. Submenus. Pie slices with icons. Supports native Xresources. Very lightweight.
A set of small, responsive CSS modules that you can use in every web project. Pure is ridiculously tiny. The entire set of modules clocks in at 3.7KB minified and gzipped. Crafted with mobile devices in mind, it was important to us to keep our file sizes small, and every line of CSS was carefully considered. If you decide to only use a subset of these modules, you'll save even more bytes. Has all of the primitives that you'd expect from a CSS framework.
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
All requests go through the backend, client never talks to Twitter
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).
Invidious is an alternative front-end to YouTube. Extremely lightweight - loading the HTML page takes 4kb at most. Has an audio-only mode. Supports subscriptions to channels. Does NOT require a Google account. Does not require Javascript, does not use the Youtube API. Presents its own developer API.
Requires Postgres as its back-end database.
Written in a programming language called Crystal.
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.
