The list is useful! Thank you.
But I think to set up development environment cost much time. A local server environment can solve the problem. I recommend ServBay which saves web developers a significant amount of time in maintaining their development environments.
It's not open source, but useful.

Hey folks! 👋
Hope you find the list useful! What do you think is lacking?

Don't forget to give it some reaction for extra visibility.
We might help someone save months of developing stuff in-house where there already are pretty neat solutions out there.

This is a great article! I am not sure about Hanko because your user data is vital. Having some third party in control of that might not be a good idea as you scale.

Besides the cost factor, if you have a large user base - it's worth the extra hours. Auth is easy to build, so maybe for such a critical part of an app - it's worth spending a day or two, building this as a sharable package to port between apps.

These open-source tools are indeed useful for increasing software development efficiency. It is critical to integrate such tools in order to streamline authentication, authorization, monitoring, deep learning, testing, deployment, and user engagement. These tools' adaptability and community support help to a more effective development process. Using open-source solutions like these as developers is a good technique for attaining the best results. Are there any tools on this list that you find very useful in your projects? Please share your experiences! Consider ChatGPT integration for real-time collaboration and communication to improve the development workflow.
