GitHub took the stargazer list away in June and shipped a privacy-safe star history endpoint on September 4, so the charts in READMEs work again. The curve tells you one useful thing about a self-hosted tool, and it is not whether the project will still be serviceable in two years.

GitHub added a dropdown to Copilot admin settings on Thursday that does nothing for 28 days. On October 22 it decides whether every Copilot feature nobody at your company ever ruled on is switched on, and GitHub's own documentation says the dropdown already sits on enabled.

A 40,000 person list mailed weekly is about 160,000 sends a month. Mailchimp Transactional charges $140 for that, in blocks of 25,000 that expire, and only if you are already paying for a marketing plan underneath. Amazon SES charges $16. Notifuse is the open source console that sits on top of the $16, and the saving is not the story.

Changing one wrong number inside a PDF costs an Acrobat Pro seat at $23.99 a license a month, and cancelling after fourteen days costs you half the remaining year. GenOffice is a four-week-old Apache-2.0 desktop suite that does that job on your own machine, and its fidelity bugs are still open in public.

A 25-person company that wants its password vault on its own server pays Bitwarden $1,800 a year, because self-hosting is an Enterprise feature and the $4 plan is not eligible. Vaultwarden is the independent server the same official Bitwarden apps talk to, it runs on a six-dollar droplet, and it shipped on Saturday.

Ten people on Superhuman and Linear alone costs $5,880 a year, and all it buys is an inbox and a task board. Macro does email, chat, docs, tasks, calls and CRM out of one app for $40 a seat, and it moved to the AGPL in May, which means the escape hatch is written into the license.

A ten-person sales team on Salesforce list pricing pays about $21,000 a year, and the thing they are actually renting is not the software. It is the shape of their own business. Twenty puts that shape in a repository you own, and it shipped four releases in two days.

A Figma Full seat costs $16 a month for every person allowed to make something instead of just look at it, and the queue behind the one person who has it is worse than the bill. Open Design is an Apache-2.0 desktop app that hands the making part to a coding agent you already pay for, and it shipped again yesterday.
Git Articles
A brochure site with a blog, a contact form, and two people allowed to edit it runs about a thousand dollars a year on Webflow before anyone writes a word. Instatic is the MIT-licensed version of that shape, with an AI agent that edits the page, and it is honest enough to tell you it is at version 0.0.14.

A prospect's security questionnaire lands on your desk and it wants a recent penetration test. The firms quote ten to thirty thousand dollars for one web app. Strix is an open-source AI pentester that runs the same class of test for the price of the tokens it burns, and the catch is what a report you ran yourself is actually worth.

A team running a few thousand dollars of AI a month hands a middleman five and a half percent of it for routing. OmniRoute is the self-hosted version of that middleman, and the math only works if you also count what the fee was quietly buying you.
Git Articles
Every contract your business sends for signature runs through a vendor charging 540 dollars a seat a year, with a cap on how many you can send. Documenso is the open source version of that, and it just shipped again this week.
