Urocissa is a self-hosted photo and video gallery engineered to browse, search, and filter a million-image library in under a second on modest hardware. Its photo stream scrolls endlessly without pagination or lazy loading, flying past the browser DOM height limit that breaks other galleries long before a million items. Search understands boolean operators, so a query mixing and, or, and not narrows a lifetime of photos in milliseconds, and select-all is equally instant across the whole collection. Point it at folders and it watches them for new arrivals, importing photos and videos automatically while duplicate detection keeps redundant copies out. EXIF data is extracted for every image, and your own tags layer manual organization on top, with timeline navigation and rotation built in. Albums share collections with family or clients, a read-only mode publishes a public gallery safely, and videos play inline without leaving the page. The index that makes this fast lives in memory at roughly half a gigabyte per million photos, and the whole application ships as a binary of about 25 megabytes, optionally protected by a password. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Build your own image and video sharing site, with public galleries, private albums, and embeddable links, on a server you control. Uploads arrive by drag and drop, clipboard paste, image URL, camera, ShareX, or API, in AVIF, JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, BMP, MOV, MP4, and WebM, and chunked transfers handle large files. Lossless JPEG handling fixes orientation and can strip EXIF data. Duplicate detection catches repeat uploads. Tags are created on the fly with autocomplete, camera models become tags automatically, and albums nest into sub-albums with covers, privacy levels, and passwords. Categories, search, and explore views help visitors find things; a bulk importer brings in folders of existing media. Each file gets viewer, direct, thumbnail, and medium links plus HTML, Markdown, and BBCode snippets with one-click copy, and oEmbed lets other sites preview a link. Roles split admin, manager, and user duties, profiles can be private, and two-factor authentication protects accounts. Files sit on local disk or S3-compatible storage, optionally served through a CDN URL. A dashboard tracks usage, color palettes and custom CSS and JavaScript restyle the site, and a single-profile mode suits a personal portfolio.

Point OBS or a hardware encoder at Restreamer's built-in RTMP or SRT ingest and it serves your website while rebroadcasting to YouTube Live, Twitch, Facebook, Vimeo, TikTok, LinkedIn, PeerTube, and anything else that accepts RTMP, SRT, or HLS - a complete self-hosted live-streaming server from datarhei. That multistreaming normally costs a monthly Restream.io subscription; here it's one FFmpeg process per destination on your own hardware. The web UI is genuinely approachable, with a wizard that walks beginners through camera setup, while professionals get the full surface: multiple audio/video inputs (USB, RTSP network cameras, virtual devices), codec and processing settings, separate audio muxing, and hardware acceleration via Nvidia CUDA, Intel VAAPI, or Raspberry Pi. Serving your own audience is first-class - a built-in Video.js player embeds in your site, a ready-made publication website streams without any embedding work, HLS chunk sizes are tunable, and automatic Let's Encrypt handles HTTPS. Viewer and bandwidth monitoring with limits keeps traffic costs predictable, and it's GDPR-friendly: no third-party provider, no audience data stored. A fully Swagger-documented REST API drives automation. SRT support keeps latency under a second.

Point Emby at your movie, music, and photo libraries and it becomes a private streaming service: metadata and artwork arrive from TMDB and TVDB, everything lands in a polished browsable interface, and media transcodes on the fly whenever a client can't play the original format. The client reach is the selling point: native apps span Android TV, Apple TV, Google TV, Fire TV, Roku, LG and Samsung smart TVs, iOS, Android, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, plus web browsers and desktop apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and DLNA devices are auto-detected for casting and remote control. Multi-user support gives each household member their own account, watch history, favorites, and recommendations, with genuinely capable parental controls: content restrictions, access schedules, time limits, and live monitoring with remote control of kids' sessions. Live TV works with hardware tuners like HDHomeRun or M3U playlists, with free guide data in the US, Canada, and UK. The server and core features are free; an optional Premiere key adds hardware-accelerated transcoding, DVR recording, offline sync, and Cinema Mode intros.

Product Hunt's Maker of the Year: Animockup delivers an alternative to expensive motion graphics tools for creating animated product teaser videos entirely in the browser. The FabricJS canvas engine provides a fully interactive editing surface where you import product videos or screenshots, place them inside device mockups ranging from iPhones and MacBooks to browser windows and smartwatches, and customize everything from background gradients to overlay text positioning. Anime.js powers the animation system with configurable start and end transitions, easing curves, and duration controls that produce smooth entrance and exit effects without timeline editors or keyframe knowledge. The built-in FFMPEG.wasm pipeline handles all video processing client-side — no server-side rendering required — exporting finished teasers to WebM, MP4, or GIF at custom framerates and resolutions up to 4K. The crop and reposition tool lets you precisely fit product footage into any device screen regardless of aspect ratio differences. Twenty-plus device frames cover phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, watches, and generic browser windows for maximum versatility. Firebase authentication handles user sessions while the optional Paddle integration manages subscriptions — or remove both for a fully free deployment. Self-hosting requires only a static web server with optional PHP for the payment webhook endpoint. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

MiroTalk WebRTC is the front desk for your own video meeting platform, where users register, schedule rooms across your MiroTalk servers, and invite guests by email or link. Each account gets a personal dashboard of upcoming, recurring, and past meetings, with room links ready to copy the moment a call needs to happen.
