OpenLib is a small community-driven platform for discovering free and open-source software. It currently features a growing collection of apps with basic info like screenshots, repo links, install methods, and simple comparisons.

Discover free, open-source alternatives to popular apps. Compare FOSS software, read community reviews, and find the best free alternatives to Photoshop, Office, and more.

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years.
