Ask HN: Do you use any software (mainly) developed in China? (not TikTok...)

Posted by unpopularopp on Monday February 27, 2023 @01:10PM
from the ask-hn dept.

For example I use Ventoy which makes deploying USB bootable Linux live CDs very easy, you just have to copy over the .iso file https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html

It's also on Github https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy

But I'd love to hear about other chinese software too that people use every day.

StarRocks, it’s a Linux Foundation project now, but a lot of the initial team and community behind it came from China.

Funny that I hadn’t heard of them in the database space till they showed up at the top of ClickBench. Makes me wonder what other interesting projects I’m missing out on in China.

I’ve been using Seafile for a few years now as a self-hosted Dropbox alternative.
