About Open Source
Open source work seldom arrives dressed for a showroom, yet it deserves the same considered presentation as any fine collection. This category gathers products and businesses whose code is open to inspection, from polished finished apps to the quiet libraries other makers build upon. Showing the workings is the whole point.
Browse as you would a well-ordered boutique: begin with the whole room, then step into a subcategory when something catches the eye. Each page lists the products and businesses in that category and its subcategories, with filters to narrow the view. Listings appear newest first, and visitors can sort by community votes instead. When comparing, look for a clear licence, a readable README, and an honest account of who maintains the work and how it is funded. Those details say more than any flourish of design.

Open Source: questions answered
- What belongs in the Open Source category?
- Products and businesses whose source code is publicly available for others to read, use or adapt. That covers finished apps, code libraries, tools you run on your own servers, and open AI models. Closed products with a single open component are better placed in their own field.
- How do I choose between the four subcategories?
- Ask who will use it first. Open source apps suit people using finished software, developer libraries suit those writing code, self-hosted tools suit anyone running software on their own infrastructure, and open source AI suits models and their supporting tooling.
- How do I get an open source product 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, while a free listing joins a queue of about 6-8 weeks.
- Can a listing sit in more than one subcategory?
- Every listing has exactly one main category, chosen at submission and included free. If your product genuinely spans fields, a paid upgrade adds extra categories for $5. Choose the main category by who your product serves first.
- How are listings ordered on this page?
- Newest listings appear first by default, so fresh launches are seen promptly. Visitors can instead sort by community votes to see what others have backed. Votes can never be bought, so the ranking reflects genuine interest rather than spend.
