Yep absolutely!

We already have that. For eg: https://www.btw.so/open-source-alternatives/slack-alternativ...

Yeah, I noticed that actually. The search bar is pretty good at recognizing the principal competitors.

But when I go to, say, https://www.btw.so/open-source-alternatives/api-documentatio..., no where on that page does the word "Swagger" appear. Same story for https://www.btw.so/open-source-alternatives/business-communi... and Slack.

It seems like you already have the data, so it would just be a matter of finding the right UI for it.

Edit:

Now that I look real closely, I see in a tiny box on each alternative what the each thing competes with. I guess that works. Kind of obscure, though.

You mentioned Odoo in CRM, but Odoo has apps in a lot of extra categories (that are not yet listed): - ERP: https://odoo.com (alternative to Ms. Dynamics, SAP) - Website Builder: https://www.odoo.com/app/website (alternative to Wix, SquareSpace) - POS: https://www.odoo.com/app/point-of-sale-shop (alternative to VendHQ, LightSpeed) - Kanban & Project: https://www.odoo.com/app/project - Human Resources / HR: https://www.odoo.com/app/employees (alternative to SuccessFactors, BambooHR) - Manufacturing - MES: https://www.odoo.com/app/manufacturing - Invoicing: https://www.odoo.com/app/invoicing (alternative to bill.com)
Odoo (core) is indeed open-source, but some of the apps (modules) you mentioned are part of the "Enterprise" which require you to buy a licence.

Disclaimer: happy (paying) Odoo customer!

No, all the apps above are part of Odoo Community. (So, open source)
