OSS Database is a collection of Open Source alternatives. It is not a side-project-marketing project. This is a dedicated project to crowdsource Open Source alternatives to popular software.
Hi Product Hunt!
I saw people collecting Open Source alternatives on Github. Which is awesome btw, but I thought there was a better way to do this. I wanted to build a nice and clean UI and nice filters to filter projects by tech, platform, use case, and license.
This project is a work in progress and the following things are live:
- Filtering and searching based on platform, tech, and license for projects.
- Dedicated newsletter for businesses being built on Open Source.
- Submissions from users.
- Source code: https://github.com/prithvi16/oss...
The following things are planned for the future:
- User reviews for projects, will be screened for spam.
- User-based edits for projects. More transparency in moderation.
- Karma for users based on edits.
- Once I gain enough traction I plan to release the source code under MIT and the collected data in CSV files for everyone to download.
- A job board for companies using Open Source tools for monetization.
