    I've been working on building a GUI for selective Syncthing downloading. I like the plugins system that Filestash provides so I've been building on top of that. The core functionality is mostly there but the UI needs some adjustment...

    The way to override default code via patches is really interesting but because it's a compiled program I think I'll just keep track of changes inside git commits instead.

    Here are some other interesting repos that I found but didn't end up using:

    WFM begun its life around 1994 as a Perl CGI script for CERN httpd server. It was developed to allow uploading logs, traces, dumps and other case data by support engineers and customers. Later rewritten in C language, when CGIC library and Apache httpd were released. Up until 2015, it has been a closed source commercial application used for lightweight document management and supported by a few customers. It has now been open sourced. In 2022 WFM has been rewritten in Go as a stand-alone application with a built-in web server for modern deployment scenarios.
