About Open Source
Open source is where a lot of quiet work gets done. Someone publishes a tool, a handful of people start using it, and the code sits in plain view for anyone to read, fork and judge. This category is a trail map for that terrain: projects and the businesses built around them, listed while they are still easy to miss.
Browse the four subcategories to narrow the route, or stay on this page to see everything together. Each listing has one main category, and you can apply filters to cut the list down. Newest launches appear first, and you can switch to sorting by community votes, which can never be bought. Check the licence, read the repository and see who is still maintaining it before you commit.

Open Source: questions answered
- What belongs in the Open Source category?
- Products and businesses whose source code is publicly available and built around that openness. That covers finished apps, libraries for developers, tools you run on your own servers and open AI models. If the code is closed, a different category will suit it better.
- How do I choose between the subcategories?
- Ask who uses it and how. Open source apps are ready for end users. Developer libraries are building blocks you add to your own code. Self-hosted tools run on infrastructure you control. Open source AI covers models and tooling. Pick the one that matches your main audience.
- Can my project appear in more than one subcategory?
- Every listing has one main category, chosen at submission and included free. A paid upgrade adds up to 3 more categories for $5, which suits projects that straddle, say, self-hosting and AI.
- How do I get an open source project listed?
- Go to /submit and paste your website address. An AI drafts the profile from that site, and you check and edit every field before anything goes live. A paid launch costs $5, while a free listing joins a queue of about 6-8 weeks.
- What should I check when comparing open source options?
- Read the licence first, since it decides how you may use and redistribute the code. Then look at how recently it was updated, how documentation reads, how issues are handled and whether a business or a community stands behind it. Those signs show whether it will last.
