  1. fair-protocol

    FAIR protocol and documentation

    The protocol repository [1] has more documentation on how to implement your own repository and we expect there’ll be many implementations of it over time - for launch, our proof-of-concept repo is built on WP since it integrates with Git Updater which is already widely used. (We’ll try and publish to Packagist now that it’s public too!)

  3. iroh

    peer-2-peer that just works

  4. indigo

    Go source code for Bluesky's atproto services.

  5. Grav

    Modern, Crazy Fast, Ridiculously Easy and Amazingly Powerful Flat-File CMS powered by PHP, Markdown, Twig, and Symfony

    Migrating to SSG is definitely one of the options!

    I do wonder what other CMSes people do enjoy, though. My blog runs on Grav, a flat file CMS that still allows me to easily keep the content in Git, while also having some dynamic content and search (and optionally an admin UI): https://getgrav.org/
