EnvKit is marketed as a direct Laragon replacement, not only on Windows, but for MacOS too. It can import existing Laragon projects, and while it works fine, DBs still don’t transfer reliably. The app is still in beta, fully usable, but with minor lacks from time to time.

In UX terms, EnvKit beats Laragon: alias management, environment controls, extension toggles, and deep debugging are all housed in a polished, enterprise-grade interface that feels like a premium tool. You almost never edit config files manually. Even DBs could be created right in the EnvKit interface.

A standout feature is the MCP server for AI-agent integration, letting an AI manage the virtual server, read logs, tweak settings, and spin up new apps. Not essential for most workflows, but a clever addition.

Drawbacks: a limited preset library, only Laravel and WordPress have streamlined installation, and you can’t create custom presets. Laragon allowed custom installation scripts for various CMS/CMF platforms. No legacy support?—?you can manually add a PHP?5 folder to “Services”, for example, and switch to it, but it runs with errors. EnvKit is clearly designed for modern PHP/Node applications first.

Bottom line: for Windows or macOS migrations from Laragon, EnvKit is a strong contender. No Linux version is planned.

Switched to Nictotine+ after SoulSeekQt began to conflict with the new version of Clash Verge, it works without complaints. You need to get used to different UI, but in some ways it's even more convenient, and creates the feeling of a real social network.

I found it impossible to use OpenClaw, it consumes way too much RAM, and its errors are completely opaque. nanobot, on the other hand, uses very few resources, runs on pure Python, its configs and instructions are easy to read and modify, and the structure is intuitive. The agent constantly adjusts itself while running, which is convenient since not all settings are available through the WebUI yet. Workspaces take some getting used to and might require a bit of reorganization of your projects, but that’s subjective. There are a few minor rough edges with the app store, it doesn’t show full app descriptions—but that’s not critical. The project is still quite young, but it looks very promising. So if you prefer Python solutions over heavy and convoluted Node.JS ones, nanobot is an excellent choice.

The fastest, cleanest, and most optimized Android emulator I’ve ever used. It consumes so few resources and runs so smoothly that I still can’t believe it compared to others! If you’re looking for a stable, modern Android emulator for daily tasks, this is exactly what you need. Unfortunately, the aggressive marketing of Chinese emulators is so intense that even AI doesn’t list MuMu among the top candidates when we search for the stability and speed they promise but don’t deliver.

It's simple to set up and control, but there are not so much automation features like Clash for Windows has.

It's like a blend of SeaArt with NightCafe. But rewarding system requires more engagement than these two.

Zaz and Sparkle have very similar gameplay, but Zaz lacks control, making it quite difficult to aim well even with helper buffs.

Invisible, Inc. has more hardcore and varied gameplay. While Phantom Doctrine borrows much stealth-based gameplay game mechanics from Invisible, Inc., it streamlines and simplifies it, resulting in a more accessible but less nuanced experience. And of course, Invisible Inc. has infinite replayability potential due to quality procedural generated missions, while they are predefined in PD, even enemy locations are the same.

When I felt crazy enough to start developing an indie game, I actively searched for a suitable engine. I had tried Unity, UE, and even experimented with exotic ones like GDevelop, GameMaker Studio, and O3DE, but I couldn't find the right balance of simplicity and power. I ignored Godot for a long time, considering it "incomplete" and complex for a solo developer. However, when I finally tried it, coinciding with the release of the revolutionary version 4, it changed me. Now it's my new...

Incredibly exciting gameplay, you literally control every ship and its systems, as if it was a simulator. Dog fights, chase and complex maneuvers in true 3D space, and this is still a turn-based tactical game. And an excellent graphics will allow you to enjoy the accomplished exploits in cinematic replays. The game also offers rouge-lite mode Operation Anabasis, for those who want to truly test their command skills. The game very accurately reproduces the spirit of the 2004 series, all the...

Mail service, positioning itself as private, forbids the registration via VPN. Tutanota is blocked in some countries, it's even funny. Plus, they delete your accounts after 6 months of inactivity, DO NOT register anything on this mail to avoid losing access.

When my graphical tablet with a multi-touch function broke down and new branded budget models didn't offer it as before, the question arises, how to scroll panels in some applications where standard scrollbars are not available, and generally preserve UX of scrolling. This program become a solution! Now I don’t know how I lived without it before, it’s even better than a wheel and multi-touch. If you use a pen, scrolling is literally at your fingertips. You can also adjust different behavior and...
