A modern crowdfunding platform. I've been searching for one but only found several abandoned work-in-progress packages or old/slow/insecure stuff. Wish I had the time to start a project :(

I'd like to see a FOSS service that's functionally identical to Google Drive. Like, I could use my own server (or pay for hosting) to get the same functionality and hold all my stuff. Of course, stuff like this exists, but I don't think any of it is as good (yet).

The main things I would need:

- Great spreadsheets

- Simultaneous editing (can send a link to someone and immediately have them edit without needing to log in)

- Cloud-based (I can log in with two-step from any public computer)

- Shared folders

I love G Suite but kind of hate having to rely on Google, and it would be nice to host my own.

A good and simple Hacker news clone / forum. All options out there are just full of useless options that will take me longer to remove than code my own simple forum from the scratch. I know there is HN code available but I want it in php or Python, so more mainstream developers can work with it.
