But I do agree with you though, when someone asks me for advices, I always try to give them context.

I also try to understand where the "advisor" comes from when I see radical advices out there. Even if I don't agree with it, at least I can understand the reason behind it.

Re:Curated List of Commercial Open-Source Projects on Saturday October 07, 2023 @03:37AM (#37799809)
Hey everyone, I built FreeXP.dev to help developers find interesting open-source projects for them to start contributing!

Most of the projects here are commercial.

Commercial open-source projects not only can help to showcase your skills as a developer but you can also have an impact on a real business.

Finding commercial open-source projects are hard, FreeXP.dev makes it easy.

p/s - this project is also open-source, so feel free to submit your projects as a PR!
