As I tend to overcomplicate things, I surprised myself when choosing @Ghost to build my website.

Creating new content that easily integrates with all my social media channels makes things pretty easy.

Plus, I can automate it with @n8n_io.

I love the idea of building #webapps using little more than #YAML or #JSON files. And this is exactly what @lowdefy allows you to do!

An #OpenSource project that will have you building solutions quickly with integration into your data & systems!

#BestOf2021 #BuildInPublic #SaaS
I cannot express my gratitude enough to @EspressifSystem for designing & building the amazing #ESP32 #dev board.

I've done a number of projects with the ESP32 at the core & continue to be astounded with its flexibility!

Another one of the @n8n_io rockstars, @maxtkacz works tirelessly to continually improve the user experience. He is involved with user onboarding, UI design, customer support, & probably everything else behind the scenes.

Very honoured to know him!

I often talk about building a #SaaS product but sometimes all you need are internal tools for your team. @theappsmith is a great #OpenSource platform to quickly build these tools to enable your team.

You owe it to yourself to check them out!

Remember your favourite teacher in school? Chances are, they were a lot like @TimBomboir. An educator with a focus on reality, Tim teaches his students all those necessary skills that many schools miss.

Tim's the teacher that all our children need!

Many of us want to share our skills with others & teach them how to do what we do. But, many of us don't really know how to do that. @cathyraffaele is the person to turn to.

She can show you how to set up your training so it is engaging & interesting!

I wish I had half the bravery that @saranosocks has! Quit her day job to become a full-time content creator! She has taught me that persistence and passion are the foundation upon which greatness is built.

Check out her work: saranosocks.com

@nocodelife started me on my present journey as I reinvented myself on the Internet. He introduced me to a lot of different people & built a community that nurtured me in my early days.

A true @bubble expert & inspiration to community builders.

@Ricardo_E105 is one of the geniuses behind so many of the @n8n_io nodes that we have come to use on a daily basis.

A kind & giving person, he is always willing to lend a hand or help out with an #automation challenge.

#BestOf2021 #BuildInPublic
Recently fell in love with @M5Stack hardware. Easily create personal projects or enterprise-level #IoT tools with simple #NoCode development applications.

Not to mention, very cost-effective & intuitive to learn. Great place to start in IoT!

#BestOf2021 #BuildInPublic
Integrating with a database can often be a challenge for automators since they aren't DB admins. @baserow makes it easy by creating an automatic #API for your @PostgreSQL #database.

Easy to use WebUI, direct integration w/ @n8n_io & #OpenSource!

#BestOf2021 #BuildInPublic
Lots of time can be spent setting up your cloud infrastructure. @cap_rover helps by providing a platform to quickly install, configure and set up @Docker containers & the applications they provide all from a WebUI.

A full #SaaS stack in under an hour!

#BestOf2021 #BuildInPublic
Sometimes, the most challenging part of a project is working with the data. @directus essentially gives you the ability to build your #CRM & WebUI for any data you have.

Very powerful & flexible from an #OpenSource project.

#BestOf2021 #BuildInPublic
I do lots of #API work & excellent tools are critical. Recently, I found the #OpenSource tool @hoppscotch_io, which gives me all of the functions I need but integrates the ability to work as a team from afar.

Very quickly becoming my go-to API tool!

#BestOf2021 #BuildInPublic
There are many different chat systems, but I have really fallen for @Mattermost. It provides everything you would expect in a chat program, but what puts it over the top for me is that it is #OpenSource & has direct integrations w/ @n8n_io.

#BestOf2021 #BuildInPublic
As you can imagine, I run a lot of #Linux devices remotely and it is important to know how these devices are running.

@linuxnetdata is a simple to install service that allows me to easily track several devices & their status.

#BestOf2021 #DevOps #BuildInPublic
@Nextclouders has in mind the ability to bring the concept of cloud storage back in your control.

NextCloud gives you the flexibility of cloud but the control of on-prem for your files. #OpenSource, BTW!

#BestOf2021 #BuildInPublic #Backup
If ever there was essentially magic technology, @traefik is that technology! It creates a reverse proxy between your servers & the internet to ensure only the information you want to share gets out.

Oh, and it does autodiscovery! 🤯

#BestOf2021 #buildinpublic
@SelfhostedPro has built a fantastic tool called Yacht, which allows you to quickly & easily create @Docker solutions in the cloud.

If you are looking for the next tool to enable your #SaaS solution, you've just found it!

@AndrewJDavison from @LuhhuHQ is an inspiration to me and many other aspiring automators. He's shown us with his actions how to build a thriving #automation business along with a great community.

Connect with Andrew & learn from the master!

Sometimes I need a @Raspberry_Pi deployed quickly with a few common apps, and this is where I turn to @DietPi_. It is essentially a custom-built OS with instant installers for your favourite apps on the smallest footprint.

It really speeds things up!

#BestOf2021 #buildinpublic
If you're like me, you HATE that the internet has essentially become a worldwide advertising platform. So, as soon as I discovered @The_Pi_Hole, I immediately installed this #opensource project onto my home network on a @Raspberry_Pi.

Bye, bye ads!

@AntWilson reached out to me earlier this year wondering WTF I was doing with @supabase! I was using it as an early adopter to trickle data to the system because it was a quick and easy platform to integrate with @n8n_io.

Supabase is simply amazing!

#buildinpublic #BestOf2021
Data sync can be a pain but @grouparoo is an #OpenSource #automation tool that can make it a lot easier. Configure your accounts and then sync away!

#BestOf2021 #buildinpublic
One of the best hardware dev platforms to learn coding & #IoT!

@arduino is a great way to get into the tech field!

Working through the certification now!

#BestOf2021 #buildinpublic
No surprise that @n8n_io is my first shout-out for the year.

I can firmly say without any hyperbole that n8n (both the application and the company) has changed my life.

I can't recommend getting to know n8n enough!

For the rest of 2021, I'm going to be sharing some of the people, projects, websites, etc. that I have come to appreciate over the year.

Watch carefully as I'm going to be showing some gems!
