This month a collection of different tools and sofware and saas products. With a bit JS & Vue as dessert!
Software
Aqueduct | Multi-threaded Dart Server-Side Framework
Aqueduct: A cohesive server-side framework for Dart, including controllers, routing, OAuth 2.0, ORM, database migrations and CLI.

Typesense: fast, open-source, typo-tolerant search engine.
Obsidian: A knowledge base that works on local Markdown files.
