I have also been building something similar at

https://ossdatabase.com

Recently released code under AGPL-3.(https://github.com/prithvi16/ossdatabase)

But I want to go beyond aggregation and add following things

- User reviews, ratings

- Researcherd guides comparing features in most common usecases

- Interviews with Opensource maintainers, founders.

- Being able to create collections like awesome lists

- Everything being user editable and basic karma system for accepted edits.

Edits: Formatting and added links.

It would be great if such a site gave a SCORE for the open sourceness of the product in question. It has been becoming more and more common to have "open source" projects that are either not developed in the open, or not provide all the functionality needed without buying the "enterprise" version. Some projects don't provide installable binaries on some or all platforms either. Other metrics could be having an up to date repo, number of committers, number of recent bugs/issues not acknowledged in their repo etc.

That is good idea.

I have noted and will add to roadmap. Score will be calculated differently for different categories of software. Like for Desktop apps and SAAS projects, metrics will be different. Will have to think through this.

This looks beautiful. Are the alternatives simply listed in order by their GitHub stars? How do you handle projects hosted on Gitlab, Bitbucket, etc. Surely it wouldn't be fair to do a 1-1 comparison, right?

Have you looked at alternatives to your site like AlternativeTo and LibHunt? Do you plan on using any of that data as well or perhaps even linking to pages on those relevant sites? Sorry for the unsolicited advice, but I feel like being able to take advantage of the work already done by those platforms in some way could be a big step towards setting you apart. Just saying as someone who uses/contributes to AlternativeTo a lot

Thanks.

No specific algorithm for now, but that is a good idea.

Yes, I have seeded the data from multiple open source projects for now. But I will also check how can I leverage APIs or maybe scraping to gather relevant data to this project. Libhunt and Saashub are under CC4 but not alternative.to I guess.

You might want to add some tags to the Vaultwarden entry - I was just in the process of submitting it because it wasn't tagged under password managers, when I stumbled across it by accident when looking for the original Bitwarden entry.
