In plain words
OpenSourceWeekly.org is a curated directory of open source projects launched in 2020. It presents hand-selected software projects for developers and technical professionals interested in discovering new open source tools and libraries. The site's primary distinction is its manual curation approach, which filters projects rather than relying on automated listings or community voting alone. It serves as a resource for developers seeking vetted open source solutions across various categories.

Opensource Builders2020 · opensource.builders · ▲491Hey everyone, A couple years ago, I got into programming and fell down the rabbit hole of open-source software. I started realizing a lot of the commercial software I used had open-source alternatives. In 2020, those alternatives were good but not perfect replacements. With LLMs entering the scene, there are even more open-source alternatives now and they're narrowing the gap between proprietary options. LLMs also got me thinking: will people continue using proprietary or opensource applications in the future when they can build their own personal application tailored specifically for their…

Hi, Piotr here I was collecting nice open-source companies for quite some time now. Mostly to take some inspiration and learn from their code. Last week, I though it would be fun to learn this Astro thing everyone's talking about. So I thought building a directory website out of this collection was pretty good idea. After 2 days of building, OpenAlternative was born. It's a community driven list of open source alternatives to proprietary software and applications. Enjoy and thank you for your support!

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. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
