Looks nice. Kind of reminds me of a modernised Notepad++. Added

Thanks. I've added all of these.

I never had a train set so I might take Open Rails for a spin!

Meta-System - a "System for making Systems"

Google recommended to me in an article entitled 'How a single JSON file could become your entire code base"

That is so Meta. Anyone know something that does this only with YAML?

Thanks I've added these. Also renamed the Games category to 'Games and Gaming' as you've suggested a couple of gaming related utilities that aren't exactly games themselves and don't seem to quite slot into 'Emulators and Retrogaming'

Are there any good open source VPN's which actually work? I only need to use a VPN once in every blue moon so it's not worth subscribing to. I used to just use different free trials before but I see that most require you to enter your credit card details now.

Dunno about opensource but windscribe did not require card details and you can get 20GB, there's also protonvpn with restrictions for torrenting.

+1 for ProtonVPN

Stellarium is nice. Good for getting the kids interested in the stars! You've also jogged my memory about Marble which isn't on the list yet.

Thanks again. I've added these.

You turn up some good stuff that I wouldn't normally think of so it's great to see so much stuff from someone else's interests and perspective.

Do you have any tips on unusual places to find open source software? As well as the usual suspects and web searches I find a lot of stuff browsing places like Bitnami, linuxserver.io and the various cloud provider app market places, Docker hub etc.
