I’m putting this in chat and not in Technology because I’m also wondering about things like clothes, appliances—basically any sort of consumer product, virtual or physical, you can think of that you feel has retained some standard of quality and has not yet been enshittified. I would start by saying that Wikipedia has not yet been enshittified, but perhaps you disagree? Post is inspired by this video.

EDIT: coyotino correctly points out that Wikipedia isn’t a product but a service; poor word choice on my part, just trying to cast a wide a net as possible here in the hopes of making a list of “things that are still good that don’t suck.” Like I said, a wide net 🙂.

    Shelly is pretty good for smart home stuff.

    I care a lot about local control, but they even have some cloud stuff if you’re into that sort of thing.

    Zooz is one of my favorites for zwave gear.

      Haven’t heard of that. It doesn’t spy on you like all the other “smart home” tech is alleged to do? Is it open source?

      I hate that Shelly only does WiFi. I’m a big fan of Zigbee and would love more options.

      Sonoff has some really nice Zigbee relays that compete with some of the Shelly products.
