I play a good deal of Simon Tatham's puzzles (iOS version) and Ordinary Puzzles (which is only one type.)
I've spent a good portion of the night trying to find some other open source / free / no IAP puzzle games, but for the most part I've come up empty.
Anybody know of some treasures out there?

At my day job at a non-for-profit, I direct the digital services and platforms (among other things). One thing that I've seen in my org. is the widespread use of the Bitly URL shortener (free plan/tier) for the sharing of our many online and offline campaigns. The myriad departments in the org. for the most part operate quite autonomously, though I can influence the use of digital platforms (at least the majority of the time). I'd like to get away from using Bitly. Would anyone kindly recommend alternatives to Bitly? Self-host and open source options would be preferred, but not required if the price is right (read: low enough for a non-profit).
I've used YOURLs many years ago, and it worked great; did everything that I needed and was straight-forward to install and use. (The only cost was a cheap $5/month Digital Ocean droplet, that I happened to run other things on too.) However, I have also heard of - but never used - the following other options:
So...Are any of the above worth considering (or avoiding)? Are there any other, perhaps better alternatives not listed here? I'd appreciate any suggestions and recommendations! Thanks in advanced!

Ask Tildes: I'm looking for (FOSS? Self-hosted?) photo manager software
Specifically, I've got a big honkin' pile of photos stored on an online storage space, and I want some kind of software that lets me share links to a pic, or a group of pics, or a folder, etc ......
Specifically, I've got a big honkin' pile of photos stored on an online storage space, and I want some kind of software that lets me share links to a pic, or a group of pics, or a folder, etc ...
... and here's the crux ... without making extra copies of the pics ... just has renamed, custom-permissioned links to the original pic(s).
In database terms, I want something that gives me Views of my photo collection.
I run my own Nextcloud instance, which is close. It has very nice, very granular photo management and sharing capabilities ... but as far as I can tell, whenever I share a pic with someone, it actually makes another copy of it for the shared instance. If I share the photo 5 times w/5 different people/groups, then suddenly, I have 6 copies of the pic.
Any recommendations?

Hive mind: In the early 2000s, there was a website that tracked and reviewed open source applications. What was it?
You could look up, say, CMSes, get some basic info about each one (to make useful decision), and learn who its active committers were. The site closed, I know. Do you remember its name? Or people...
You could look up, say, CMSes, get some basic info about each one (to make useful decision), and learn who its active committers were. The site closed, I know. Do you remember its name? Or people who were part of it?
I asked someone to write an article for me about "review sites for open source" -- think Yelp for Software -- and neither of us can remember its name. But if you have others that you think should be included (for positive or negative reasons), please let me know.

I've been working on the mobile version of
password
for a while now, mostly lending to the fact that much of the infrastructure of the game required expansion to accomodate for that. Plus, this sort of gameplay on mobile is a new territory for me, which makes it both worrisome and exciting.Long story short, you can preview the mobile gameplay of
password
with the same link:The gameplay is different from the desktop version. Here, you have to tap the keys in the order of their number: 1, then 2, then 3, and so on until the last key. Tapping keys out of order (4, then 6) results in a foul, which takes away a bit of time. Tapping all keys in the correct order means you win the round and get awarded the score. Other instructions are on screen.
It is NOT the final version. It's playable but contains some visual bugs. I'm gonna work on fixing those in the coming weeks. Right now, I'm looking for feedback:
- How does the mobile gameplay feel?
- How does the sizing of the score looks?
- Are there any problems with swiping or tapping?
- How does the timer bar look on smaller screens? (Think smaller than iPhone X.)
- How does the timer look on devices that have a notch?
- Does it load the correct version at all? (If you're on a mobile device – smartphones and tablets – you should not see keyboard references. If you do, it didn't load the correct version of gameplay.)
Desktop gameplay has only received visual updates. You can still play it with the same link.
Let me know if you encounter issues. You can post here, or you can open an issue in the GitHub repo. If you do, make sure to provide what information you can on the issue, like what sort of a device you're using (maker, model, OS version, browser etc.): this helps figure out the problem easier and quicker.
I know of these issues so far, and am working on resolving them:
- after pressing the last key of the order (8 right now), the red border flashes, as if you've received a foul (you don't)
- score has to fully animate towards the final value before it resizes to fit the screen
- swiping distance may or may not be too short, so it may feel as though it doesn't register
