About Open Source
This category covers products whose source code is public and which a young team is now trying to turn into real usage. Some are apps you can run today. Some are libraries other developers build on. Some are tools you host yourself, and some are open AI models and the software around them. Each listing is a file on a venture still finding its first users.
The page lists every product and business in this category and its subcategories, with filters to narrow the set. Newest launches come first by default, and you can sort by community votes instead. Votes can never be bought, so the ordering reflects interest rather than spend. When you compare entries, check the licence terms, how the project earns its keep, and how active the maintainers appear. Founders choose one main category at submission, included free, so a product here has put open source at the centre of what it is.

Open Source: questions answered
- What belongs in the Open Source category?
- Products whose source code is publicly available and which are presented as a product or business. That includes apps, developer libraries, self-hosted software and open AI projects. If open source is a side detail, a different main category is likely a better fit.
- How do I choose between the subcategories?
- Pick by who uses the product and how it runs. Libraries are built into other software, self-hosted tools run on your own servers, apps are used directly, and open AI covers models and their tooling. Choose the one that matches your first user.
- How do I get my open source project listed?
- Go to /submit and paste your website address. An AI drafts the profile from that site, then you check and edit every field before anything goes live. A free listing joins a queue of about 6-8 weeks; a paid launch costs $5.
- Can my project appear in more than one category?
- Every listing has one main category, included free. A paid upgrade adds up to 3 more categories for $5. An open source project that is also a self-hosted tool, for example, could use that upgrade.
- What should I check when comparing open source products?
- Read the licence, see how the team plans to fund the work, and look at how recently the project was updated. Also check how easy installation and documentation are, since early-stage projects often differ most there.
