We used to use Freshmeat.net for this for a really long time, Slashdot moved it over to Sourceforge but then it died in 2014. http://freshmeat.sourceforge.net/

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…

Since we're sharing links, here's another good resource: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted

Here is one for CLI utilties. https://github.com/agarrharr/awesome-cli-apps

In the about page, it says that the curator doesn't have any coding experience and has been checking out the no code movement.

I think that explains why this website isn't open source itself.

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

Also kind of ironic to show a big picture of an iPhone prominently on the frontpage. You can't even install your own software on it without rooting it or getting a devkit. Perhaps showing a pinephone or a Librem 5 would be more fitting.

Not to mention GPL licensed software are incompatible with the terms of the AppStore: http://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/more-about-the-app-store-...

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 e…

“IANAL” and all, My take is that legal work is, and has been, a high status domain of knowledge work requiring skill, effort and hard work to aquire. What cannot be solved with Excel&friends, may not be suited for such tools (or so they argue, to safeguard their knowledge).

A highly competitive market keep firms from collaborating on common [open source] goals and processes. Firms may have value systems far apart in their mission guiding their own work wich creates a social obstacle. A highly competitive (read: expensive) domain as it can be - professional signaling towards clients and competitor includes status and quality services; in which open source may be irrelevant at best, and dedicated person-to-person conduct of business is one of the best ways to deliver trust and quality. Maybe as a lawyer, you are better off using such de-facto standards as Clio.

I believe our most recent ML & AI have managed to breath some air into the historically tricky task of computationally work legalese in a practic way. A firm would probably keep a successful solution to themselves.

Neat! I added the top level RSS [1] to The Old Reader [2] and it pulled up just fine (validation), the title shows up as "xfer" by default but otherwise works fine for this reader.

Another list https://alternativeshub.gitlab.io/ with the rankings. Found Photopea here. Seems to be based on the awesome list too.
