LibHunt 2.0
Find alternatives and similar open-source projects
LibHunt tracks mentions of software projects on relevant social networks - Reddit, HackerNews, Dev.to. Based on that data, you can find the most popular open-source packages, as well as similar and alternative ones.
Hey, fellow indie makers and mates working in tech. I've released a new version of LibHunt recently, and I would like to highlight some parts of it.
It tracks mentions of open-source projects on Reddit, HackerNews and Dev.to. That happens almost in real-time, and when you open a project's page, you can see all references to recent mentions or similar and alternative projects (e.g. https://www.libhunt.com/r/vue). The similarities are based on mentions on common posts.
Then, we have a list of the most popular programming languages based on the number of mentions https://www.libhunt.com/index.
Another useful feature is listing the most trending projects per programming language - e.g. https://www.libhunt.com/l/python.... You will be surprised how many useful projects you can discover for the language you are using.
At the end of the day, LibHunt has expanded to 200+ verticals (programming languages) and is getting more and more useful by collecting most mentions of open-source projects.

p.s.
- the tracking engine is written in Phoenix/Elixir and processes 12+ million posts and comments every day
- everything else is good old Ruby on Rails
