Showing the some love this morning with a new app directory dedicated to platforms, clients, and tools for easy browsing and discovery:

selfh.st/apps/?directory=activ

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.

selfh.st · Self-Hosted Software and AppsA directory of self-hosted software and applications for easy browsing and discovery
#software#app#apps

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!

@shollyethan Hey, possible to add a filter by platform, i.e. Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy etc?

@gandalf_the_blue Good question. I initially started building the dataset with a filter for platform, but the interoperability between platforms made it a bit difficult to distinguish which apps are compatible with which platforms.

Happy to collaborate with someone if there's a definitive way to identify apps that are only compatible with specific platforms!

@shollyethan Looks like the links to apps on Google Play Store are broken. Seems it doesn't like the `?ref=selfh.st` query parameter; store pages load fine without it.

@Ethan Sholly You're missing all three natively nomadic projects by Friendica creator Mike Macgirvin:

@shollyethan@fosstodon.org nice! Any chance we could get NodeBB on this list?

@julian Sure thing - will add it today!

@shollyethan I like it. Are you planning on adding Lemmy clients like @voyagerapp? 😁

@alex @voyagerapp Absolutely! I'm not super familiar with Lemmy clients, so thanks for the introduction to Voyager!

@shollyethan thanks a lot! But i'm a bit confused. There are mastodon Clients in the list. Do they use C2S API or is it maybe no activity pub client ?

@shollyethan that’s the nicest candy I got today 💞
