I had too many chrome bookmarks with great open source tools so I’ve decided to work on on a curated directory of 100+ open-source, self-hosted tools that serves as your go-to resource for finding alternatives to proprietary software.

While I was inspired by a website <a href="http://opensourcealternative.to" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">opensourcealternative.to</a>, I’m building this with a much cleaner, more intuitive UI. Currently working on exciting new features including user profiles and bookmark functionality to make discovery and organization even easier.

PS. You can submit your projects or projects you know for free:) I’m adding them daily

A developer created a curated directory of 100+ open-source, self-hosted tools as alternatives to proprietary software. The platform features a clean, intuitive UI and is actively adding new projects daily, with upcoming features including user profiles and bookmark functionality for better discovery and organization.

Amazing resource for discovering Open Source Tools

Hi <a href="https://app.daily.dev/paulboguta" data-mention-id="JyvV5F5wXljEwXHl0tmxP" data-mention-username="paulboguta" translate="no">@paulboguta</a> , I tried to add <a href="https://github.com/Notifuse/notifuse" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">https://github.com/Notifuse/notifuse</a> but the form returns [{“success”:false,“message”:“An error occurred while submitting your project.”},null].
Let me know when I can try again ;)
