I'm still working on https://openaltfinder.com https://openaltfinder.com; a place to help you discover open source alternatives. Got quite a lot of traction this month due to Google/Apple Maps renaming Lake Ontario.
But overall it's a struggle, the site is still in Google jail/sandbox, so it's not even seeing any Google impressions. So most traffic is due to being very active and posting wherever I can.
- rushil_b_patel 20d agoGood one
- everyday7732 19d agoI think it will be difficult to compete with alternativeto.net which has a longstanding community, and options like filtering based on operating system. What are you doing which differentiates you?
- woutr_be 19d agoThe main differentiator is that I’m purely focussed on providing open source alternatives, whereas alternativeto does everything. Having filters to better filter through the large list of alternatives is on my TODO list. But in general, I think both (and many other directories) can co-exist without issues. I personally think alternativeto is a little mainstream anyway, whereas my directory is focussed on people who explicitly want to selfhost, but obviously there is overlap.
