Hey-ho PH community 👋 My name is Jonathan, and I'm one of the makers of OpenSourceAlternative.To. We, at Crowd.dev, love open source challengers and the communities they bring to the world. Also, we have benefited heavily from open source software during our product development. Therefore, we decided to curate a list of (almost) all the fantastic open source alternatives to proprietary SaaS out there. You may be wondering now: why did you build *another* open source directory? And my answer is: First, there can't be enough resources rooting for all these upcoming open source champions that often have no funding and a challenging business model. Second, we added a range of functionalities that we couldn't find in other directories (which doesn't make them less cool). opensourcealternative.to comes with: * 250+ open source alternatives to proprietary software (probably largest database out there?) * Search function and filters for popular categories, licenses, and languages * Sort function for most recent and most popular alternatives * SEO-optimized landing pages for every alternative * Daily-updated GitHub metrics * Painless way to add new alternatives We have a number of ideas on how to further develop this micro-tool, such as a Chrome plugin that displays open source alternatives when you visit a proprietary SaaS homepage. But we are also curious about what you would make out of a community-sourced database of all open source alternatives. This is my first PH launch ever, and I'm super excited for your feedback. Feel free to leave a comment below, or reach out via Twitter. Cheers! 🙏🏻
