Recently released code under AGPL-3.(https://github.com/prithvi16/ossdatabase)
But I want to go beyond aggregation and add following things
- User reviews, ratings
- Researcherd guides comparing features in most common usecases
- Interviews with Opensource maintainers, founders.
- Being able to create collections like awesome lists
- Everything being user editable and basic karma system for accepted edits.
Edits: Formatting and added links.
I have noted and will add to roadmap. Score will be calculated differently for different categories of software. Like for Desktop apps and SAAS projects, metrics will be different. Will have to think through this.
Have you looked at alternatives to your site like AlternativeTo and LibHunt? Do you plan on using any of that data as well or perhaps even linking to pages on those relevant sites? Sorry for the unsolicited advice, but I feel like being able to take advantage of the work already done by those platforms in some way could be a big step towards setting you apart. Just saying as someone who uses/contributes to AlternativeTo a lot
> Are the alternatives simply listed in order by their GitHub stars?
No specific algorithm for now, but that is a good idea.
Yes, I have seeded the data from multiple open source projects for now. But I will also check how can I leverage APIs or maybe scraping to gather relevant data to this project. Libhunt and Saashub are under CC4 but not alternative.to I guess.
