A time series based database that has an interface fully excel facing, including all excel functionality. I want to see the result value of a cell based output at a certain date, when it changed, and why. I need the interface in excel because all of the engineers already know it and all of their calcs are already in it. Not something excel like or similar, excel.

A modern open source web based email client to have an alternative to Outlook, Gmail and the like. It should also have calendar integration an the possibility to use an existing address book.

A safe sqlite-like file-based, small database, without backend. Phones would need such a SW. SQLite is a clever hack, but not usable for safe usage. And the text search engine is still fundamentally broken and insecure, even in its 5th iteration.<p>One should not need PostgreSQL for small problems.

A modern 64 bit version of Stoical. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;stoical.sourceforge.net&#x2F;documentation.php" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;stoical.sourceforge.net&#x2F;documentation.php</a><p>I got it working in 32 bit Linux, but have no clue about how to convert it to something modern.

I would love a really nice application for music that I own myself. Ideally the audio could be self-hosted on a NAS in my wardrobe and there would be a client for iOS, Android, Linux, macOS, Windows and the web.<p>Kind of like a combination of Spotify and good old iTunes.

Async&#x2F;await syntax for arbitrary monads. This would be very useful for IO, as well as Observable.

a good ssh&#x2F;SFTP reverse proxy &#x2F; load balancer. yes I&#x27;m aware ssh doesn&#x27;t have a host portion, I&#x27;m sure there&#x27;s a way around this.
