This box started as a shelf for paid Notion systems. Then it grew a second job: hosting useful open-source apps, free, no accounts where avoidable, no ads. Free tools bring the visitors; a fraction of visitors feed Mu (donate), hire him (services), or buy the bundle. That's the whole business model, stated plainly.
Here's what's live, what each one is actually for, and the one-line catch where there is one:
Drop in an image, audio clip, video or document, pick the output format, convert. Most formats never leave your browser. The catch: none, really — video conversion borrows VERT's public backend. Convert something →
Envelope budgeting in the YNAB tradition: give every dollar a job, roll with the punches monthly. Set a password the first time you open it; the data lives on this box, not in a cloud account. Open it →
Links, wifi credentials, plain text — with frames and presets so the code doesn't look like a ransom note. Download the PNG and go. Make one →
Built for classrooms: mix photos, video, text and audio into shared documents. Works just as well for a small team documenting anything. Start one →
Albums as timelines for family and friends, comments included. The catch, stated upfront: whoever creates the first account becomes admin, and logins use emailed codes — we have no mail server yet, so returning logins need the code relayed. Ask and ye shall receive. Claim it →
Builds and tests for your GitHub repos: token in, Jenkinsfile in the repo, green checks out. The catch: it's a full Jenkins — the first setup takes ten focused minutes. Automate →
Paste a magnet link, watch in the browser. Bring your own (legal) content. Stream →
Comments without the tracking pixel. There's a live demo on this site — post something, it works. Run your own blog and want a thread? Ask us to host one. Try the demo →
About eleven gigabyte of RAM, some disk, and keeping eight containers updated. If any of these saved you an account signup somewhere, consider covering a slice of hosting — or if you want any of them on your own domain with your logo, that's literally the services menu.
