MinPin

The MinPin platform is a reusable framework for selling self-hosted services from a home server rack, with offerings including IPFS pinning, photo storage and backup with Immich, monitoring and alerting with a status page, and personalized browser history search with Hister. All apps support single sign-on against the identity provider so switching between them is seamless, and billing is unified: a single subscription ($5/month for one app, $8/month for four or more) grants access to multiple applications and is billed as one Stripe charge so the fixed transaction fee is paid once rather than per app. It was built with Claude Code.
