getdowntonight.co.uk

I'm Sam — a software developer with 30+ years of experience. SaaS subscriptions keep climbing, and most of the tools we rely on daily could be built better, cheaper, and with more respect for your data. So that's what I'm doing. This site is home to the free utilities and self-hosted apps I've built to replace the things I was paying for — secure file storage, webmail, a music library, media streaming, and more. Everything here is built by me, for real use.

Bit of history: I've owned getdowntonight.co.uk since 1999. Long before Facebook or MySpace, it ran as one of the UK's earliest social networks — forums, photo galleries, semi-live chat, private messaging and a few thousand members, all on a community site I built and ran myself. I wound it down because I couldn't see the money in it (ha!). Twenty-five years on, the domain has found a second life as the home for these tools.
