About Open Source
Open Source is the shelf for products whose code is out in the open. Install an app, import a library, run a tool on your own server or fine-tune a model. Each listing shows what the project does, who it is for and where to find the source, so you can judge it before you commit a weekend to it.
Browse the four subcategories or scan the whole category with the filters. Listings appear newest first, so fresh launches lead the list, and you can switch to community votes when you want the projects people rate highest. Votes can never be bought. Founders add a project at /submit: paste the website address, let the AI draft the profile, then check and edit every field before it goes live.

Open Source: questions answered
- What belongs in Open Source rather than another category?
- Products whose source code is public, with a licence that lets others read, run or build on it. Every listing has one main category, chosen at submission. If openness is the main reason someone would pick your product, this is the natural home for it.
- How do I choose between the subcategories?
- Go by how people will use the project. Open source apps are finished programs for end users. Developer libraries are code you import into your own work. Self-hosted tools run on your own infrastructure. Open source AI covers models and AI tooling with open code.
- How are listings ordered on this page?
- Newest first by default, so recent launches appear at the top. Visitors can sort by community votes instead. Votes can never be bought, so the vote order reflects what the community actually rates, not what a founder paid for.
- How do I get my 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; a free listing joins a queue of about 1-2 weeks.
- What should I check when comparing open source options?
- Read the licence first, then look at how clear the documentation is and how simple the setup sounds. Check whether the project describes how it is maintained and how you can contribute. For self-hosted tools, consider what you will need to run and update yourself.
