Authentik

In last week's GitHub Trending: System Design Primer (architecture study guide), Awesome Mac (curated macOS software), Authentik (identity platform), Planka (self-hosted Kanban), and OctoBot (automated trading bot).

The unexpected common thread is not a new framework but accumulated trust: old repositories still solve recurring work, even when their current community chatter is sparse.

In today’s GitHub Trending: Authentik (self-hosted identity), HRMS (HR and payroll), Plane (project management), changedetection.io (website-change alerts), and Khoj (an AI assistant over your own data).

The common thread is operational ownership. Each project replaces a SaaS surface, but the active issue queues show that self-hosting exchanges subscription simplicity for work that must be maintained.
