Hi, Quentin here Some months ago I've created a list of alternatives to popular Saas software. I created a whole new section on the website for open source alternatives.

Feel free to submit your own or share some feedback.

Some backstory: I was collecting some tools for quite some time now for my own use. Mostly to take some inspiration and do some competitor research for my other products. I though it would be fun to build this into a directory website for anyone to use and contribute to.

Today, we have around 70 tools published in the collection and more in review. Enjoy and thank you for your support!
