A headless component library for design systems
Lumen UI was an ambitious headless component library focused on accessibility-first primitives. The maintainer stepped away after a career change, but the architecture is solid and ~60% of components are production ready. It needs someone to finish the remaining primitives, ship docs, and cut a stable release.
Self-hostable static site host with edge routing
TinyHost is a minimal, self-hostable static hosting platform with built-in edge routing and instant rollbacks. It got popular fast but the founders pivoted to a different startup. The core is stable and well-tested — it mostly needs dependency upgrades and a maintained CLI.
Local-first markdown notes with sync
A beautiful local-first markdown note taking app with optional end-to-end encrypted sync. The solo developer ran out of funding. UI is polished and the sync engine works — it needs mobile builds and a community to grow plugins.
Open-source sprite & tilemap editor
PixelForge is a delightful sprite and tilemap editor for indie game devs. The original author moved on to AAA work. Tons of love from the gamedev community but it needs a WebGL renderer rewrite and export plugins.
Reactive charting library for dashboards
FluxChart is a small, fast reactive charting library built for realtime dashboards. The team merged into a larger company and archived it. Great API design, but it needs accessibility passes and React 19 support.
Dead-simple background jobs for Node
Queuely is a tiny, dependency-light background job runner for Node with a clean dashboard. The maintainer burned out. Solid foundations — needs Redis cluster support and better docs to come back to life.
