Notes

welcome to my digital terrarium. this is a personal collection of interesting links i've found. beware: i have troubles with sorting, even though i love doing it, so some of the links will be chaotically categorised.

one day there will be few more lists: webdev and maybe something else, but on the other pages, so check my creations section. for now i will leave this one for some general findings. most of the apps+services here are FOS (Free and Open Source), tho not all of them.

i'm working on the accessibility of these pages, including semantic HTML, colors, alt text and screen reader friendliness. consider this webpage a work in progress! and don't forget to press Shift+Ctrl+R to clear your cache and check for updates!

Clarifications!

<3 - links on donations for creators of the project
M. - apps for mobile devices only
+ - i'm using this thing currently
new - new items i've found since the last update
\ - to scroll to the top of the page
\/ - to scroll to the next section
