Hi!

2025 was a big year for my open source goals and I wanted to share some accomplishments with you, after all I wouldn't have gotten so far with any of my projects if it wasn't for the few selfhosted communities I interact with daily <3

Thank you for all your support and here's a summary of everything I've built/maintained throughout 2025. Everything is free, self-hostable and entirely open source.

p.s. - no, these are NOT vibe coded.

jotty.page - 1.3k stars - 78.3K total downloads

repo: https://github.com/fccview/jotty

Jotty is a lightweight note taking/checklist app with a ton of features packed in a very minimal easy to use UI, it features two types of encryptions, drawio/excalidraw/mermaid diagrams, tons of language syntax highlighting for codeblocks, kanban boards and a lot more.


Cr*nmaster - 903 stars - 103K total downloads

repo: https://github.com/fccview/cronmaster

Crnmaster is a UI to manage cronjobs and easily create and schedule scripts, it allows you to log cronjobs (including live logging)*


Scatola Magica (beta) - 108 stars - 2.47K total downloads

repo: https://github.com/fccview/scatola-magica

Scatola Magica is a file upload/download system which allows you to upload files in chunk for maximum speed. The cool feature about it is that you can drop a file literally anywhere, from anywhere, including copy/pasting into the page, if you paste text it creates a file with the right file extensions - e.g. if you paste javascript it'll create a .js file) - it also has full web torrent support, but needs to be enabled in the settings page as it's in beta

Here's to a 2026 full of self hosting and coding <3

I have much respect for the opensource dev teams/individuals that write the software I use. It just seems to be a more personal product than using an equal commercial solution. Plus, I get a ton of fun and education from it all, so thank you so very much for your efforts. They are much appreciated.

Thank YOU for such a lovely message <3

It's tough, I get downvoted to hell on reddit whenever I try and propose anything I built, not sure if they think I'm selling something or they just plain hate it, so I really really appreciate messages like this!

Holy smokes, you did all that in one year? Alone? Do you just write open source projects full time, or do you also have a day job on top of all that?

[-] fccview@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Ha! I kept busy indeed. I am a full time software engineer, so I have a full time job on top of that, yeah.

Aside from the obvious "I work fast", I had a lot of free evening time this year, won't get too into it but my child spends a lot of time in hospital. These were a great escape for me (and coding is my hobby, so I mostly do that rather than playing video games or watching TV you know)

Setting up a notes app was next on my list, excited to give Jotty a go. Keep up the awesome work 👏
