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.

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
