Nope. Most alternatives like services miss on a very important point. Alternatives do not have the same features and there should be a thorough comparison for end users not to waste their time.

Where's your site which has all that?

Why is there pretty much no active participant in the open source software for lawyers, accountants? And no. Kanban does not count. Is the monopoly of stuff like Clio and others so much that noone is attempting open source alternatives? Cliniccases which has seen no development in years seems to be only one.

When you can have accounting packages and ERP software for million dollar orgs running on Foss software like erpnext, akaunting? Its not like lawyers are a niche market in the world.

The interesting thing is, I can find dozens of "dental practice" software and packages on sourceforge and github but none about lawyers.

Dont open source advocates/lawyers need open source tools? Anyone from the EFF legal team here? What do you guys use in house ?

Edit: I would be glad to assist in development by giving time and inputs.

Cool idea, but no alternative site I've seen has told me which competitor to X has dark mode and markdown.

Open Source Stash seems to be opinionated (for lack of a better word) and there doesn't seem to be a way to submit projects to it in the public (like a pull-request for example where a discussion can be had) but only privately to the maintainer (ironic, for a webpage maintaining a collection of OSS software)? Also, I need to allow countless third-party services (uMatrix puts the count at 51) to even make the website work. I wish that weren't the case.

This other website I have been using is likely more comprehensive, no-gimmicks, and fast: https://awesomeopensource.com/

Since we're sharing links, here's another good resource:

Ironically, the homepage pulls the list of featured productions by querying a Google Docs spreadsheet using spreadsimple.com, neither of which are open source.

And uses Google Analytics while having multiple open source analytics tools listed.
