Haha, the title might be misleading, I'm sorry. I actually encourage using open source and that means paying for it. I checked your website, I will add your tool by the end of the week!
Thank you. I made a mistake copying description when batch uploading projects - fixing it right now.
There have been recent changes to Mozilla TOC - although there are much more important alternatives than browsers, I agree with you. Some of them might include tools such as google analytics or databases.
Thank you for the feedback, that's my mistake I'm currently building filters to better search through tools as the alternatives to paid/not paid is misleading.
Thank you. The design is inspired by the best (shadcn)! I appreciate your suggestion. I'm going to add it to the list
Thank you. I haven’t tried it myself, I’m a Claude Sonnet fan, but I’m adding DeepSeek to the list immediately.
That's a good point. Not all the tools are an alternative to paid software. I will include it in the filters I'm building right now... Also, I'm curating data of open source alternatives to subscription/credit/one-time priced software - that's on the way too. Btw following the firefox TOC changes, the zen browser might be real deal
I started building the list 5 days ago and after a little hackathon I think it can be more useful than my full chrome bookmark list. I also tried to make it look decent and have some UX features such as search and sorting. I hope some people find it useful.

I got tired of collecting open source projects in my chrome bookmarks so I decided to compile a curated list of:- Recently active projects on GitHub- Mostly dev tools (but also productivity, analytics)- Projects which are "Alternative to X software"My bookmarks are finally empty:DIf you have a great open source tool you use, I'd be glad to hear your suggestions.Also, any feedback is greatly...
