Brave is listed there as an open source alternative to Firefox (as well as Chrome and Edge). But isn't Firefox (which itself is not listed on this website) open source as well or am I missing something?
The platform itself is not even source available. I think it's a bit disingenuous in that case. At Windmill (https://github.com/windmill-labs/windmill), we are actually building the OSS platform that you can self-host and that is an actual OSS alternative to ... pipedream.
I have also been building something similar at https://ossdatabase.com 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…
This looks beautiful. Are the alternatives simply listed in order by their GitHub stars? How do you handle projects hosted on Gitlab, Bitbucket, etc. Surely it wouldn't be fair to do a 1-1 comparison, right? 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 advic…

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.

In theory the collective knowledge of all of these platforms could converge on a single data-source that's freely available to analyse in any way we see fit, but more often the knowledge is behind the platform and ends up gated behind a Pro or commercial edition and the crowd is left to rebuild it again on some other platform...

It would be great if such a site gave a SCORE for the open sourceness of the product in question. It has been becoming more and more common to have "open source" projects that are either not developed in the open, or not provide all the functionality needed without buying the "enterprise" version. Some projects don't provide installable binaries on some or all platforms either. Other metrics could be having an up to…
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.
What do people use as an alternative to SQS? I've had Kafka mentioned a few times but that's way heavier/more complicated than I need. Just a simple queue is perfect, and SQS' API is gloriously simple.
Going simpler as possible: Redis has a simple (but extremely powerful) Pub/Sub implementation[1] that should get you going for a long time. Postgres also have a simple notify API[2] you can mix it with your own tables and just "notify" that some changes were made (when people say you can do anything with postgres nowadays they are not joking). You probably can also roll your own implementation in any ACID database. J…
Interesting - I had just assumed everyone is doing MQTT or cloud pub/sub
Pipedream is listed as an OSS alternative to Integromat ... except it is just the automation that are open-sourced: https://www.opensourcealternative.to/project/Pipedream https://github.com/PipedreamHQ/pipedream The platform itself is not even source available.
