24 alternatives to A collection of open source tools (open source)
I have collected some of the front-end development tools that I use on a regular basis (and on not so regular basis). This list is still a work in progress and I would love any contributions to it. If you want to contribute just head over to https://github.com/KarlHerler/front-end-tools where you will find the entire source. If you find something that looks wrong but dont want to fix it you can head over to https://github.com/KarlHerler/front-end-tools/issues and submit a bug :P
Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. A collection of open source tools (open source) launched in 2011; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

I got tired of collecting open source projects in my chrome bookmarks so I decided to compile a curated list of: - Recently active projects on GitHub - Mostly dev tools (but also productivity, analytics) - Projects which are "Alternative to X software" My bookmarks are finally empty:D If you have a great open source tool you use, I'd be glad to hear your suggestions. Also, any feedback is greatly appreciated.

I work on R00M 101, a Reddit-based OSINT profiler. While building it, I realized most open-source intelligence (OSINT) tools are scattered across GitHub, outdated blog posts, or random Discords. So I put together a public-facing directory of 100+ OSINT tools used by analysts, journalists, and security folks, free, filterable, and categorized by risk, platform, and use case. The idea was to make something useful and no-friction. Built with static HTML + SQL backend + a lot of caffeine. Would love feedback on how to improve the UX or tool curation. If anyone wants to contribute tools or help…

I built DevToolsHub as a simple, curated directory of free developer tools. The idea is to save developers time by collecting useful resources in one place, instead of searching across the web. It’s lightweight, free, and I’m continuously expanding the list. Feedback and suggestions are welcome!

Hey people! I have been compiling a database of opensource alternatives and I'm super proud of it so far. It serves as a searchable directory for high-quality opensource. After tons of hours I've managed to compile a database of 1000+ opensource software. I've seen other sites which have the same premise and all the GitHub Awesome Lists, but they lack in showing if the repo is active, abandoned, experimental, buggy/unstable, has a restrictive license or corporate influence like this does. Thanks for your time, if you have any recommendations for features/additions I'd love to hear.
