I actually really like this if you're the kind of person like myself who prefers to be able to self-host service and work off cloud. The "awesome-" Github repos might be a good place to start sourcing information. A few things I think would be nice:
* You should be able to easily tell how the project is hosted. I prefer containerized applications, but there's people who don't. Sometimes they make you install their own hosting platform - yuck.
* If a paid version is available, how much is it? Are the features provided by that paid version big important ones or it is mostly just for support?
* If there are screenshots, an easy screenshot browser would be nice. Many projects either do not provide them, or they're in the Github repo which doesn't have an easy left/right browse functionality. I want to know if the UI sucks before spending the time to deploy.
* What's the most comparable commercial project? How does it excel and how does it fall short? Perhaps a (moderated) comments or reviews section would be worth it here.
* What about interoperability with other popular tools? It's difficult tell sometimes if a project supports something as simple as LDAP. This would depend somewhat on the product which features are shown.
* Ffs please provide a semi meaningful graph of forks. The way Github does it with Insights is nearly useless.
I suppose it would benefit to ask people with a reasonable amount of experience for a given field what they want/need too. That's not necessarily something you'd see on the site, but it'd be done in the background. For instance, I want 3MF support for 3D printer slicers, but that's not relevant for a kanban board.
As far as interfaces, I enjoy the filtering provided by sites like Texas Instruments or Analog Devices for electronic components. They really managed to figure that out.
Good luck with your project! I hope it succeeds, I would very much enjoy such a tool.
