Saffron was my side project for 3 years. I built it because I wanted to send a weekly newsletter to my readers without anyone tracking opens. Pure SMTP, no analytics, no SaaS subscription. I was getting ready to shut it down when Marco from the community asked to take over. He's been shipping releases every two weeks since. The roadmap is now his.

Compass counts page views and unique visitors with zero cookies and zero fingerprinting. I built it because I was tired of Plausible's pricing for a hobby site. Compass was the lowest-effort tool I've ever maintained. A community member (an actual privacy researcher) took it over when I moved on. They've added geo-IP aggregation without compromising the privacy model.

Folio renders portfolios from a folder of .md files. Lighthouse 100 across the board. Built for a designer friend who wanted something simpler than Webflow. The community picked it up after I left. The current maintainer added a theme system (I never wanted one) and a CMS adapter (I never wanted one) — both are opt-in. Healthy project now.
