Just a moment...
alternativeto.net

It's a great place to find alternatives (including opensource alternatives) to services and software.

    Before we jump to this, does anyone know the license of the content on alternativeto?

    They have also had some pretty restrictive use of cloudflare that made their content inaccessible to privacy users in the past.

          Looking at that list, no option seems particularly good at the moment.

          https://opensource.builders/ looks nice, but has the code on github and the DB is a single JSON file. Editing requires running the thing locally and then creating a PR.

          https://switching.software/ is a single page that lists all the software. Upside is that the code is codeberg, not github.

          https://prism-break.org/en/ is focused on privacy, very out of date and code is on github.

          Privacy Guides is also all about privacy, so it won't be a generic alternative finder.

          I stopped looking after that.

          Up to the mods which one they want to pick, but honestly, a link to alternatives might cut down on the "I'm looking for a recommendation for an alternative" posts.
